Common auto electrical jobs in Fountaindale

Fountaindale is a semi-rural suburb of around 700 people about 9 km south of Wyong, between Kangy Angy, Berkeley Vale and Glenning Valley. Larger blocks mean more machinery, more towing and darker roads than the neighbouring suburbs.

Ride-on mowers and quad bikes

Bigger blocks in Fountaindale mean ride-on mowers, quad bikes and small tractors, and their batteries spend months sitting between uses. Small batteries go flat quickly and then sulphate, so they won't hold charge when the grass finally needs cutting. A small smart charger or maintainer clipped on through the off season keeps them healthy. Check the terminals too, because they're often loose or corroded on machinery.

Driving lights for dark roads

Roads through Fountaindale's semi-rural blocks don't have much street lighting, and wildlife is about at dawn and dusk. A pair of quality driving lights helps you see further when there's no oncoming traffic. They must be wired through a relay, come on only with high beam and switch off when you dip. Our guide on how to wire a 12V relay shows how the circuit fits together.

Blowers that only work on high

If your air conditioning or heater fan only works on the top setting, the blower resistor or control module has usually failed. It's a common electrical fault and often a fairly simple repair. Dusty driveways can also clog the cabin filter, which makes the blower work harder and can shorten its life. Change the cabin filter regularly. Any refrigerant work on the system needs a licensed technician.

Trailers for green waste and firewood

Larger blocks generate a lot of green waste and firewood, and the trailer that hauls it often gets the least care. Lights fail because of broken earth wires, wiring caught on branches, or plugs left lying on the ground. Run the trailer wiring inside the frame or in conduit where you can, use sealed LED lamps, and keep a cap on the plug. Our guide on why trailer lights stop working helps with fault finding.

Fountaindale auto electrical questions

Can I charge my ride-on mower battery with a car battery charger?

Only if the charger has a low-current or small-battery mode. Mower batteries are much smaller than car batteries, and a high charging current can overheat them. Many smart chargers have a setting for small batteries or motorcycles. Check the battery's rating, choose a matching mode, and charge in a well-ventilated area away from fuel.

Are driving lights legal on my car in NSW?

Driving lights are generally allowed if they're fitted and wired correctly. They should only work with high beam and switch off when you dip your headlights, be aimed properly and be mounted in a suitable position. There are also limits on how many you can fit. Check with Transport for NSW for current rules before fitting.
