Common auto electrical jobs in Kulnura
Kulnura sits around 345 metres up, about 30 km north-north-west of Gosford, and includes the Mangrove Creek Dam reservoir. Around 600 people live here, and most trips start with a long drive, which changes what fails and when.
Stock trailers and floats
Cattle trailers and horse floats get muddy, sit in paddocks and bounce over rough tracks, so plugs and earths take a beating. A loose earth is the classic cause of lights that flicker or glow faintly together. Run a dedicated earth wire rather than relying on the trailer frame, and use a 12-pin or 7-pin plug that matches the vehicle. Our guide comparing 7-pin and 12-pin trailer plugs helps you choose.

Electric brake controllers
A loaded stock trailer or float over 750 kg needs brakes, and electric brakes need a controller in the tow vehicle. The controller should be mounted securely and wired with heavy enough cable and a proper fuse, so the brakes get full power. Test it at low speed before every trip. Our guide on how to install an electric brake controller covers the wiring.

Charging systems on long commutes
Driving from Kulnura down to Gosford or Wyong for work every day puts plenty of hours on the alternator. Warning signs of a tired one include dimming lights at idle, a battery light that flickers, or a whining noise. Catching it early saves a long tow from a quiet road. Our guide on whether your alternator needs replacing lists the symptoms.

Motorcycle batteries
The run between Yarramalong and Kulnura is a popular motorcycle ride, and plenty of locals keep a bike too. Bikes that sit between rides often have flat batteries, because small batteries drain quickly from alarms and clocks. A small smart charger made for motorcycle batteries keeps them ready between weekends, and lithium bike batteries need a charger that suits them. Check the terminals for corrosion too.

Kulnura auto electrical questions
Why do my trailer lights all flicker together?
When several lights flicker or glow dimly at the same time, the earth is almost always the problem. The current is trying to find a path back through other circuits. Check the white earth wire at the plug on both the car and the trailer, clean any rust where it bolts to the frame, and use a dedicated earth wire to each light if you can.
Does my horse float need electric brakes?
In NSW, a trailer with a loaded mass over 750 kg needs brakes, and most loaded floats are well over that. Many floats use electric brakes, which need a brake controller fitted in the tow vehicle. Check the float's compliance plate for its rating, and have the brake wiring tested before a long trip.
Local tip for Kulnura
Around Kulnura, keep an eye on the charging gauge or battery light during the morning commute. If your headlights dim at idle or the light flickers on the climb, get the alternator checked that week. A failing alternator on George Downes Drive is a much bigger problem than one found in the driveway.
