Common auto electrical jobs in Wyongah

Wyongah covers less than one square kilometre beside Tuggerah Lake, between Kanwal, Gorokan, Wadalba and Tuggerawong. Its population of about 2,000 has barely moved between censuses, unlike the fast-growing estates just to the west.

Air conditioning that blows warm

When the air conditioning stops cooling, the cause isn't always gas. A blown fuse, a failed relay, a dead cooling fan or a compressor clutch that won't engage can all stop it working, and those are electrical faults that are quick to check. Topping up or recovering refrigerant is a job for a licensed technician. Our guide to common car air conditioning problems helps narrow it down.

Battery light on the way to work

If the battery light comes on while you're driving, the alternator usually isn't charging, and the car is running on what's left in the battery. Turn off the air conditioning, radio and anything else you don't need, and head home or somewhere safe before it stops. A worn belt, a failed regulator or a loose connection are common causes. Our guide on the battery warning light while driving explains what to do.

Brake lights you can't see

A dead brake light is easy to miss because you can't see it from the driver's seat, but it's a common reason for defect notices and rear-end bumps. Ask someone to watch while you press the pedal, or reverse up to a window at night. Most brake light globes take a few minutes to change. Our guide on replacing a brake light globe shows how.

Fuses that keep blowing

A fuse that blows once may be bad luck. A fuse that keeps blowing means something on that circuit is drawing too much current or shorting to earth, often a chafed wire, a faulty accessory or a phone charger plugged into a worn socket. Never fit a bigger fuse to stop it blowing, as that turns the wiring into the fuse. Our guide on checking and replacing a fuse explains the basics.

Wyongah auto electrical questions

Can I regas my car's air conditioning myself?

Handling refrigerant is a job for a licensed technician, so a regas isn't a home job. What you can do is check the simple things first: the air conditioning fuse and relay, whether the cooling fans run with the air on, and whether the compressor clutch clicks in. If all of those look fine, it's time for a licensed technician to check the system.

How do I tell if it's the battery or the alternator?

With a multimeter, check the battery with the engine off: around 12.6 volts means it's charged. Start the engine and check again: most cars should read somewhere around 13.8 to 14.7 volts. A low reading with the engine running points to the alternator. A good charging reading but a slow start points to the battery. Some smart alternators read lower at times, which is normal.

Local tip for Wyongah

Keep a few spare blade fuses and a brake light globe that suits your car in the glovebox. They cost very little and fit in a small bag. A blown fuse or a dead globe found on the way to work or the hospital can then be sorted in the car park instead of turning into a separate trip.
