Brake lights you can't see
A blown brake light is easy to miss because you can't see it from the driver's seat, but it's a safety issue and a defect if you're pulled over. Check them by reversing up to a garage door or window at night and pressing the pedal, or ask someone to watch. Most can be changed from inside the boot without tools. Our guide on how to replace a brake light globe shows how.

Small boat trailers on the lake
With Tuggerah Lake so close, plenty of Tuggerawong households have a tinny or kayak trailer. Lake water and wet storage are tough on old incandescent trailer lights, which fill with water and corrode. Sealed LED lamps last much longer and draw less current. If you upgrade, make sure the earth wire is bolted to clean metal and the plug pins are bright, otherwise the new lights will be just as unreliable as the old ones.

Jump starting on a school morning
A flat battery on a school morning is a common Tuggerawong call. Jump starting is simple, but doing it in the wrong order can damage sensitive electronics or cause sparks near the battery. Connect positive to positive first, then the negative lead to a bare metal earth point on the flat car, away from the battery. Our guide on how to jump start a car safely covers each step.

Remotes and central locking
A key remote that only works up close, or doors that don't all lock together, usually points to a weak remote battery, a worn button or a failing door lock actuator. The remote battery is easy to replace yourself. If one door won't lock or unlock with the others, the actuator inside that door has probably failed. It's worth fixing, because a door that won't lock leaves the car open to theft.

Tuggerawong auto electrical questions
How can I check my brake lights on my own?
Reverse up close to a garage door, shop window or reflective surface at dusk and press the brake pedal. You should see the reflection of both brake lights and the high-mounted centre light. Another option is to wedge something on the pedal with the car in park and the engine off, then walk around and look. Remove it before you drive.
My car started with a jump but went flat again next day. Why?
Either the battery is worn out, the alternator isn't charging, or something is draining power overnight. A short drive after a jump usually isn't enough to recharge a very flat battery either. Have the battery tested and the charging voltage checked. If both are fine, the next step is measuring for a parasitic drain.
Local tip for Tuggerawong
Keep a set of quality jumper leads or a lithium jump starter in the car, and learn the correct connection order before you need it. On a cold Tuggerawong morning when the car won't start before school, you'll be glad you're not reading the instructions in a panic. Check the jump starter's charge every few months.
