Common auto electrical jobs in Australind
Australind is a growing family town on the estuary, so most of the work is on daily drivers, weekend tow vehicles and small boat and kayak trailers.
Tinnies and the estuary
The Leschenault Estuary is popular for crabbing, fishing and kayaking, and the Ridley Place boat ramp sees plenty of small trailers. Those trailers often sit on a lawn between trips and get dunked in salt water when they're used. Lights stop working, plugs corrode and earths fail. Fit sealed LED lamps, unplug the trailer before backing in, and rinse it with fresh water at home. Our guide how to wire a 7-pin trailer plug helps with a rewire.

Towbar wiring on newer SUVs
Many Australind families buy a new SUV and then add a towbar for the boat, a box trailer or a camper. On modern vehicles, splicing into the tail light wiring can upset the body computer and cause warning lights or a dead indicator. A vehicle-specific harness or a module designed for that model is the safer approach. See do I need a towbar wiring harness for the reasons why.

Reversing cameras for family cars
Newer estates in Australind have kids, bikes and scooters on every driveway. A reversing camera is one of the most useful upgrades for an older family car that came without one. Wired cameras are more reliable than wireless kits, which can drop out. Take power from the reverse light circuit with a proper connector, run the cable through existing grommets and seal the hole where it passes into the boot.

Air con on the commute
Plenty of Australind residents commute to Bunbury, Picton or further afield each day. In summer an air conditioner that only cools at highway speed usually has a condenser fan problem. A failed fan motor, relay or fuse is a common electrical cause and is often a simple repair. If the system is low on gas or has a leak, regassing and refrigerant work need a licensed technician.

Australind auto electrical questions
Is it bad to back my trailer lights into the water at the ramp?
It's hard to avoid on most ramps, but you can limit the damage. Unplug the trailer before reversing in, so warm globes don't crack and current doesn't speed up corrosion. Use sealed LED lamps, and rinse the trailer with fresh water when you get home. Check the lights again before your next drive.
Will a towbar void my new car warranty?
A correctly fitted towbar and wiring shouldn't be a problem, but poor wiring that damages the car's electronics may not be covered. Use a harness designed for your vehicle and keep the receipt. Check your warranty terms and the owner's manual, which often lists approved accessories and towing limits.
Local tip for Australind
Australind's waterfront streets back onto the estuary and the Kalgulup Regional Park, and cars parked under trees near the water pick up leaves, moisture and the odd nesting rodent. Clear leaves from the scuttle panel below the windscreen, where water drains away from the cabin fan and wiring. A blocked drain can send water onto modules and cause strange electrical faults.
