Common auto electrical jobs in Narre Warren South

Narre Warren South is about 39 km south-east of the CBD and had more than 30,000 residents at the 2021 census. With shopping centres on Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road and Ormond Road and a large P-12 college, a lot of driving here is short trips between home, school and the shops.

The school run and short trips

A run to school, a trip to the shops on Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road and a drive to sport can add up to a busy day in which the engine never fully warms up. That pattern drains batteries slowly. If the engine cranks slowly on cold mornings, or the stop-start no longer works, test the battery before it fails. Read our guide on how to charge a car battery explains how to top it up at home.

Rear air conditioning in seven-seaters

Seven-seat SUVs and people movers often have a separate rear air conditioning unit, and when it stops working, the kids in the back are the first to notice. Faults can be as simple as a blown fuse or a failed blower motor resistor, which often shows up as the fan working only on its top setting. Refrigerant leaks and regassing are jobs for a licensed technician, so get it checked well before the summer holidays.

Windows and child locks

Electric windows and child locks get a lot of use in a family car, and switches wear out. If a rear window works from the driver's switch but not its own, the rear switch is the likely culprit. If it won't move from either, check the motor and the wiring through the door hinge. Read our guide on why an electric window stops working walks through the checks.

Box trailers for weekend jobs

A box trailer comes in handy for garden waste, furniture and trips to the tip, but it often sits for months between uses. When you hook it up again, the lights may not work because a plug pin has corroded or the earth wire has come loose. A quick clean and a sealed plug fixes most of them. Have a look at our guide on wiring a 7-pin trailer plug shows which wire goes where.

Narre Warren South auto electrical questions

Why does my car's fan only work on the highest setting?

That's the classic sign of a failed blower motor resistor. The resistor controls the lower fan speeds, while the top speed bypasses it, so the fan works only flat out. It's usually tucked behind the glovebox near the fan, and replacing it is a common, fairly affordable repair. If the fan doesn't work at all, check the fuse and the motor.

How do I check my trailer lights before I go?

Hook up the trailer, turn on the parking lights, and walk around to check the tail lights. Then get someone to press the brake and use each indicator while you watch. If one function doesn't work on both the car and the trailer, check the car's fuse. If it works on the car but not the trailer, look at the plug and the trailer's earth connection.

Local tip for Narre Warren South

In Narre Warren South, a lot of family cars never leave the suburb during the week. Once a fortnight, take the car for a 30-minute drive on the Monash Freeway or out along Clyde Road to give the battery a proper charge. It's also a good chance to notice warning lights or noises you don't pick up on short trips.
