Common auto electrical jobs in Wilsonton Heights
Wilsonton Heights was split from Wilsonton in 2006 and is home to about 2,700 people, about 7 km north-west of the CBD. It's mostly houses rather than industry, which means the work centres on keeping everyday family vehicles and their trailers going.
Hand-me-down cars for students
With a big state high school on North Street, many families here end up with an older car for a Year 11 or 12 student. Older cars often hide charging problems: a battery light that flickers, headlights that brighten when you rev, or a battery that's flat after a week of short trips. Our guide on whether your alternator needs replacing helps you spot the signs before it strands a new driver.

Box trailers for weekend jobs
Plenty of driveways here have a box trailer used for garden waste, moving furniture or a run to the tip. Trailers that sit outside for months grow corrosion in the plug and globe holders, and the first trip often reveals a missing indicator. Before you go, plug it in and check every light. Our guide on why trailer lights stop working covers the earth faults behind most problems.

Reversing cameras on family cars
Backing out between parked cars, bins and kids on bikes is part of daily life in a family suburb. If your car didn't come with a reversing camera, one can be added to most vehicles, either to the existing screen or to a mirror monitor. The work is in routing the cable neatly through the tailgate and powering the camera from the reverse light circuit, with every join sealed against moisture.

Interior lights and dash illumination
On older cars the small globes behind the instrument panel and in the cabin fail one by one, until the speedo is hard to read at night or the dome light no longer works. Interior globes are usually easy to swap, and LED replacements draw less power if a door is left ajar. Our guide on replacing an interior light globe shows the basics.

Wilsonton Heights auto electrical questions
Should I get a cheap older car checked before my teenager drives it?
It's a good idea. An auto electrician can test the battery and charging system, check every light, look for warning lights and scan for stored fault codes. Those checks are quick and can reveal problems a seller didn't mention. Fixing a failing alternator or a dodgy earth before a new driver is out alone is far better than dealing with a breakdown at night.
Why does my trailer plug fit but nothing works?
The most common cause is a poor earth, either at the plug, the trailer's earth point or the car's socket. Corroded pins and a loose wire inside the plug are close behind. Check the car's socket with a tester first, so you know whether the fault is on the car or the trailer. Then clean the pins and earth points before replacing any lights.
Local tip for Wilsonton Heights
If your box trailer lives on the lawn in Wilsonton Heights, park it with the drawbar raised slightly so water runs off the plug instead of sitting in it, and hang the plug in a holder or a plastic bag. Every couple of months, spray the pins with contact cleaner and check the lights. It takes five minutes and saves a frustrating morning before a tip run.
