Radio on, engine off
Sitting with the radio and lights on while the engine is off, whether enjoying the Gillespie Road Christmas lights or waiting at sport, can flatten a weak battery surprisingly quickly. A healthy battery copes for a while, but an older one may not. If you plan to sit and listen, run the engine now and then. Our guide on how to test a car battery explains how to check it.

Head units and speakers
Replacing an older car's radio with a new head unit that supports phone mirroring is a popular upgrade. The right wiring harness and fascia kit make it a cleaner job and keep factory features like steering wheel controls and the reversing chime working. Make sure constant and switched power wires are connected correctly, or the radio may drain the battery or lose its settings.

Headlights and globes
If one headlight is dim or flickers, the cause may be a failing globe, a corroded connector or a poor earth. Check connectors for heat damage, which shows as browned or melted plastic, and replace them if needed. Replace headlight globes in pairs so both sides match, and check the aim afterwards, since a dim or misaimed light is hard to spot from the driver's seat. There's more in our guide to how to change a headlight globe.

Reversing cameras with new head units
Many new head units have a camera input, which makes adding a reversing camera an easy extra while the dash is apart. Take power from the reverse light circuit so the camera switches on automatically, and run the video cable along the inside of the car away from other wiring to reduce interference. Seal the camera connection at the back of the car.

Kings Park auto electrical questions
How long can I play the car radio with the engine off?
It depends on the battery's age and size and what else is running. A healthy battery can often run the radio for an hour or more, but headlights or a powerful amplifier cut that time a lot. An older battery may struggle much sooner. If you'll be listening for a long time, start the engine every half hour or so.
Why does my new head unit lose its settings?
Head units need two power feeds: a constant feed for memory and a switched feed that turns the unit on with the ignition. If these are swapped or joined together, the unit may lose settings or drain the battery. Check the wiring against the harness diagram and correct the connections.
Local tip for Kings Park
If you visit the Gillespie Road Christmas lights in Kings Park and tune in on your car radio, keep the headlights off and only sidelights on, and start the engine every so often. That's especially important with an older battery. It's a lot easier than needing a jump start in a crowded street on a busy December night.
