Common auto electrical jobs in Taylors Lakes
Taylors Lakes is about 20 km north-west of the city, with around 16,900 residents. It's bounded by the Calder Freeway, Overnewton Road and Taylors Creek, Lady Nelson Way and the Bendigo railway line, with Watergardens Town Centre and station on its western side.
Caravans up the Calder
With the Calder Freeway right on the northern edge, Taylors Lakes is a handy start for caravan trips towards Bendigo and the Murray. Before a long trip, check the plug, every light and the brake controller setting, and look for corroded pins. Vans that have sat for months need extra attention. Our guide on how to install an electric brake controller covers set-up.

Dashcams for the Calder Freeway
Commuting down the Calder Freeway means fast traffic, merging lanes and the occasional stone strike from trucks. A dashcam with a rear camera records incidents from both directions. Mount the front camera where it doesn't block your view, and use a hardwire kit with a low-voltage cut-off if you want parking mode at Watergardens or the station. Keep cables clear of airbags.

Keeping the SUV cool
Large SUVs and people movers often have rear air conditioning with its own blower and controls, adding more things that can fail. If the rear vents stop blowing, check the rear blower fuse, switch and resistor first. If the whole system warms up, it may be a fan fault or low refrigerant, which needs a licensed technician to fix the leak and regas.

LED headlight upgrades
Upgrading to LED headlights is popular, but not every LED globe suits every headlight. Fitting LED globes into a housing designed for halogen can scatter light and dazzle other drivers, and may not be legal. Choose globes designed for your headlight type, check the beam pattern against a wall, and get them aimed correctly. For step-by-step help, read how to change a headlight globe.

Taylors Lakes auto electrical questions
How do I set my electric brake controller?
Hitch up the loaded caravan and drive slowly on a quiet, flat road. Apply the controller's manual lever and adjust the gain until the van brakes firmly without locking its wheels. Many controllers also have a boost or sensitivity setting. Recheck the setting whenever the van's load changes a lot, and follow the controller's instructions.
Are LED headlight globes legal?
It depends on the globe and the headlight. Headlights are designed and approved for a specific globe type. Fitting an LED globe into a halogen housing can produce a poor beam pattern that dazzles others, and may not comply with the rules. Look for globes made for your housing and get the aim checked after fitting.
Local tip for Taylors Lakes
Before heading up the Calder from Taylors Lakes with a van, do your pre-trip check on a weekday evening rather than the morning you leave. Check all lights, the brake controller and tyre pressures, and charge the van battery. If you find a fault, you'll have time to fix it without delaying the trip.
