Common auto electrical jobs in Kincumber South

Kincumber South is home to about 720 people, between Kincumber, Davistown and Bensville. Avoca Drive through Kincumber carries around 26,000 vehicles a day, and the $130 million upgrade means more queues and roadworks for local drivers.

Dashcams in roadworks traffic

The Avoca Drive upgrade brings roadworks to Kincumber, and the Bungoona Road and Carrak Road roundabout is set to be replaced by traffic signals, so expect plenty of lane changes and merging. A front and rear dashcam gives you a record if something goes wrong. Wire it to a switched fuse or use a hardwire kit with a low-voltage cut-off. Check the footage saves properly, and format the memory card every few months.

Air conditioning in queues

Sitting in a queue on Avoca Drive on a hot day is when weak air conditioning shows up. If it cools fine on the open road but not in traffic, check the cooling fan, its relay and its fuse. Our guide on common car air conditioning problems runs through the usual suspects. Leave refrigerant work to a licensed technician. A failed fan is a common and fairly simple electrical fix.

Towbar wiring for weekend trips

Being close to The Scenic Road and the beaches, plenty of Kincumber South families tow a box trailer, camper or boat. Newer cars often need a vehicle-specific towbar harness so the trailer lights don't upset the car's electronics. Our guide on whether you need a towbar wiring harness explains the choices. Whatever harness you choose, fuse the power feed, seal the socket and test every light function before your first trip.

Fusing new accessories

USB chargers, dashcams and phone holders often get plugged in or tapped into wiring in a hurry. Any new circuit needs a fuse close to the power source, rated to protect the cable. Our guide on where to put the fuse when wiring an accessory explains why. An add-a-fuse tap is a neat way to draw power from the fuse box.

Kincumber South auto electrical questions

Should I get a front and rear dashcam?

A front camera covers most incidents, but rear-end bumps are common in stop-start traffic and roadworks. A rear camera records those, and helps if someone disputes what happened. Two-channel kits share one power supply. Make sure the rear cable is routed neatly and doesn't block the tailgate or hatch seals.

What's an add-a-fuse tap?

It's a small adaptor that plugs into an existing fuse slot and gives you a second, separately fused circuit for an accessory. It saves cutting into factory wiring. Pick a circuit that switches with the ignition for chargers and dashcams, and check the fuse type matches your car's fuse box.

Local tip for Kincumber South

While Avoca Drive works continue near Kincumber South, check your brake lights and indicators more often. In stop-start queues and changing lane layouts, drivers behind rely on them. A dead brake light globe is cheap and quick to replace, and you can test it by reversing up to a garage door at night.
