Common auto electrical jobs in Melton West
Melton West is 38 km west of the CBD, between Coburns Road, the Western Freeway and Djerriwarrh Creek. Development started in the early 1970s, the regional shopping centre on High Street opened in 1973, and about 8,800 people lived here in 2021.
Dashcams for busy car parks
The large shopping centre on High Street and the school pick-up zones mean a lot of time in crowded car parks, where minor bumps and door dings happen. A dashcam with front and rear cameras gives you footage if someone drives off. Hardwiring lets the camera record while parked, but use a hardwire kit with a voltage cut-off so a long shopping trip doesn't cost you a flat battery.

Starter motor or battery?
When a car won't start, it's not always the battery. If the dash lights are bright but you get a single click, the starter motor, its solenoid or a corroded cable is often the problem. If the lights dim and the engine turns slowly, the battery is more likely. Melton West has many older cars where both are getting tired. Our guide is it my starter motor or my battery helps you tell the difference.

Burning smells and old wiring
On older cars, heat, vibration and decades of add-on accessories take a toll on wiring. A smell of hot plastic, a fuse that keeps blowing or a wire that's warm to touch needs attention straight away, because it can lead to a fire. Pull over, turn the engine off and disconnect the battery if it's safe. Our guide on burning smells or smoke from car wiring explains what to do next.

Fuses and accessory faults
A dead 12V socket, radio or interior light is often just a blown fuse. Your owner's manual shows where the fuse boxes are and which fuse covers each circuit. Replace a fuse only with one of the same rating, and if it blows again there's a fault that needs tracing, not a bigger fuse. Our guide on how to check and replace a fuse shows you how.

Melton West auto electrical questions
Can a dashcam flatten my battery?
Yes, if it records in parking mode without protection. A hardwire kit with a low-voltage cut-off switches the camera off before the battery drops too far to start the car. Set the cut-off a little higher in winter or if your battery is older. Plugging the dashcam into a socket that turns off with the ignition avoids the problem but loses parking recording.
My car smells like burning plastic. Is it safe to drive?
Treat it as unsafe until you know the cause. Pull over, switch off and look for smoke from the dash or engine bay. A failing blower motor resistor, a melted connector or a short in aftermarket wiring are common causes. Don't keep replacing fuses with bigger ones, as that removes the protection. Have the wiring checked before driving further.
Local tip for Melton West
If you've had a few accessories added to an older car over the years, such as a stereo, alarm or extra lights, open the bonnet and look at how they're wired. Look for joins wrapped only in electrical tape, wires without fuses and cables rubbing on metal edges. Tidying these up removes one of the most common causes of electrical fires.
