Common auto electrical jobs in Nunawading
Nunawading is home to Whitehorse council's main office and to the biggest bulk goods retail strip in Melbourne. The vehicles here work for those businesses or have just been bought from one.
Furniture and whitegoods trucks
The stores along the MegaMile send delivery trucks out across the east every day. Tail-lift power, rear work lights and reversing cameras get heavy use, and the wiring at the back of the body is exposed to weather and knocks. Tail-lift batteries that aren't charging properly are a common call. Check the charging cable, fuses and earths before blaming the tail-lift motor. Our guide how to use a multimeter on a car helps with basic checks.

Checking a used car
With plenty of car yards along Whitehorse Road, Nunawading is a common place to buy a used car. Before handing over the money, it pays to scan for stored fault codes, test the battery and charging system and make sure every window, light and lock works. Electrical faults can be costly to chase down later. Some sellers clear warning lights just before a sale, and a scan can show that codes were recently cleared.

Tradie vans and accessories
Trade suppliers around Nunawading attract plenty of tradies, and their vans carry inverters, work lights and roof racks with lights. Inverters in particular need heavy cable, a fuse near the battery and good ventilation. Running a large inverter off the starting battery can leave the van stranded at the end of the day. See how to choose and install an inverter before you buy one.

Freeway headlights
The Eastern Freeway ends at Springvale Road on Nunawading's northern edge, and plenty of commuters drive it in the dark during winter. Dim, yellow or badly aimed headlights make that drive harder. Replace globes in pairs, as the second one usually isn't far behind. After any front-end repair, have the headlight aim checked, as lights pointed too high dazzle oncoming drivers. Our guide how do I change my headlight globe covers the basics.

Nunawading auto electrical questions
Should I get an auto electrician to check a used car before I buy?
It's worth it, especially for cars with lots of electronics. A pre-purchase electrical check can find charging faults, hidden warning codes, water damage in connectors and non-working accessories. Some problems are cheap fixes and useful bargaining points, while others are a reason to walk away. Ask the seller for permission first.
What size inverter do I need for my work van?
Add up the wattage of the tools or chargers you'll run at once, then allow some headroom for start-up surges. Most tool battery chargers need far less than a large inverter can supply. Bigger inverters need much thicker cable and a solid battery supply, so don't oversize it without reason.
Local tip for Nunawading
If you've just bought a car from a yard on Whitehorse Road, drive it for a few days and use everything: air conditioning, windows, lights, wipers and the radio. Note any fault straight away. Electrical issues that show up in the first week are much easier to raise with the seller than ones you notice months later.
