Common auto electrical jobs in Yarramalong
Yarramalong sits on the Wyong River about 20 km upstream from Wyong, in a valley once known as cedar country. Today the valley is home to horse studs, turf farms, citrus orchards, a macadamia farm and a lavender farm, with a general store and petrol at the township.
Trucks and machinery on farms
Turf farms and orchards in the Yarramalong Valley run trucks and machinery, many on 24V systems with two batteries in series. When one battery weakens, it drags down the other, so they're best replaced as a matched pair. Mixing 12V and 24V lights or accessories without the right converter causes blown globes and damaged electronics. Corroded connections on farm gear are common, so check and clean them regularly.

Floats from the horse studs
The valley's horse studs mean floats on Yarramalong Road year-round. A float's electric brakes and breakaway system have to work every time, and the breakaway battery can quietly go flat while the float sits. Test the breakaway, check the controller setting for the load, and inspect the plug and cable before each trip. Our guide on how to install an electric brake controller explains setting it up properly.

Basic fault finding with a multimeter
When the nearest workshop is a long drive away, being able to do some basic checks yourself is useful. A multimeter tells you if a battery is charged, whether power is reaching a light or plug, and whether an earth is good. It won't fix everything, but it can turn a mystery fault into a simple fix. Our guide on how to use a multimeter on a car gets you started.

UHF radios and accessory power
Mobile phone coverage can be patchy in parts of the valley, and many farm utes carry a UHF radio for keeping in touch around the property. Radios need a clean, fused power supply straight from the battery, and the antenna needs a good earth to work properly. Poor wiring causes static, low range and drained batteries. Run the cable away from ignition and alternator wiring to reduce interference.

Yarramalong auto electrical questions
Should I replace both batteries on my 24V truck at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. The two batteries work as a pair, and a new battery paired with an old one will be dragged down by the weaker one, shortening the new battery's life. Replacing them together with matched batteries of the same type, size and age gives the most reliable result.
How do I test my float's breakaway system?
With the float hitched, pull the breakaway pin as the instructions describe and try to move the float slowly. The brakes should lock on. Replace the pin straight away afterwards. Also check the breakaway battery's charge regularly, because it can go flat while the float sits. If the brakes don't apply, have the system checked before towing.
Local tip for Yarramalong
If you run a farm in the Yarramalong Valley, keep a small stock of the fuses, globes and connectors your vehicles use most. Getting spare parts can take a trip to town, and a two-dollar fuse can stop a truck working for the day. A labelled box in the shed with the basics saves time when something fails.
