Common auto electrical jobs in Killcare

Flat after a week's holiday
Holiday guests often park the car on arrival and don't touch it until it's time to leave. A dashcam, a phone charger left in or an interior light switched on can leave it flat. Our guide on how to jump-start a car safely shows the correct connection order. A portable jump starter is worth keeping in the boot. Charge it every couple of months so it is ready when you need it.

Tinny and kayak trailers
Small trailers for tinnies and kayaks get launched straight into salt water and often have the cheapest lights fitted. Sealed LED lights with proper connectors last far longer. Use a dedicated earth wire, and don't rely on the trailer frame. Our guide on why trailer lights stop working helps find faults. A fresh-water rinse after each launch helps the plug and wiring last much longer in salt conditions.

Interior lights and sand
Sandy feet and doors left open while unpacking mean interior lights get left on and door switches get gritty. A switch that sticks keeps the light on. Swapping the interior globes for LEDs cuts the draw if one is left on. Our guide on how to replace an interior light globe covers most cars. Brush sand out of door jambs where the switches sit.

Salt and battery replacement
Coastal air shortens battery life by corroding terminals and clamps. If your battery is three or more years old and the terminals look crusty, it's worth testing before a long drive home. Our guide on how to replace a car battery explains the safe order to disconnect and reconnect it. Clean and protect the new battery's terminals as soon as it is fitted, and check them every few months.

Killcare auto electrical questions
What's the right order to connect jumper leads?
Connect red to the flat battery's positive, then red to the good battery's positive. Connect black to the good battery's negative, then the last black clamp to bare metal on the flat car's engine, away from the battery. Start the good car, then the flat one. Remove the leads in reverse order.
Are submersible trailer lights really waterproof?
Quality submersible LED lights are sealed and designed to be dunked, which makes them a big improvement on older globe-type lights. The weak point is usually the wiring and connections, not the light. Seal every join with heat shrink, use a dedicated earth, and rinse the trailer with fresh water after each launch.
Local tip for Killcare
If you rent out a holiday home in Killcare, leave guests a short note to unplug chargers and dashcams from the car and check the interior lights before heading to the beach. It saves them a flat battery on departure day, and saves you a call asking for help.
