Live in Yarraman and need an auto electrician? This timber town sits where the New England Highway meets the D'Aguilar Highway, about 117 km north of Toowoomba, so the work ranges from log trucks and mine utes to caravans passing through and bikes heading for the rail trail.

Common auto electrical jobs in Yarraman
Yarraman has about 1,130 residents, a timber mill dating back to 1910, and a coal mine in the far west of the locality. It's also the northern start of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, so local work vehicles share the roads with visitors.
Timber and haulage trucks
Hoop pine country means timber trucks, and they run on 24V systems that work hard over long distances. Vibration loosens connections, and lights, trailer plugs and earth straps take the most punishment. A fault on a 24V truck can't be fixed with 12V parts, so relays, globes and flashers must match the system voltage. Regular checks of plugs and earths between trips prevent most roadside failures.

Lighting for mine-site utes
Vehicles that go onto mine sites usually have to meet the site's own rules, which often cover beacons, extra lights, reversing alarms and battery isolation. Requirements vary from site to site, so check with your employer before fitting anything. Whatever you add should be fused, run through relays where needed, and mounted so it won't vibrate loose on rough haul roads.

Bike racks and the rail trail
Yarraman Station Park on McNeil Street is the northern end of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, and plenty of cars arrive with bikes on the back. If a bike rack hides your number plate or tail lights, you need to fix that before you drive, usually with a light board that plugs into the trailer socket. Our guide on why trailer lights stop working helps if the light board plays up.

A long way from the nearest big town
With Toowoomba well over an hour away and Nanango about 21 km north, an alternator failure here is more than an inconvenience. Watch for dimming lights at idle, a whining noise from the engine bay or a battery that keeps going flat. Getting it checked early beats a tow. Our guide on how to know if your alternator needs replacing lists the signs.

Yarraman auto electrical questions
Do I need a light board if my bike rack covers the number plate?
If the rack or bikes hide your number plate, tail lights, brake lights or indicators, you need to make them visible again, usually with a light board and a plate fitted to it. You'll need a working trailer socket on the car. Check current Queensland requirements with the Department of Transport and Main Roads before you buy.
Can I use 12V globes in a 24V truck?
No. A 12V globe in a 24V system will blow almost straight away, and 12V relays and flashers won't work properly either. Always match the part to the system voltage. If you're not sure what your vehicle runs, check the battery setup: two 12V batteries in series usually means 24V.
Local tip for Yarraman
If you're heading off from Yarraman on a long trip, do your checks before you leave town rather than on the side of the D'Aguilar or New England Highway. Walk around the vehicle with the lights and indicators on, look at the battery terminals for corrosion, and make sure trailer and caravan plugs are clean and clicked in.
