Common auto electrical jobs in Rowville
Rowville is a large family suburb in the City of Knox. Without rail, cars do all the work, and weekends are spent outdoors.
The second car that sits
In two-car Rowville households, one car often sits for days while the other does the school and work runs. The car that sits loses charge and its battery tends to fail early. If it only gets used occasionally, a smart battery maintainer in the garage keeps it ready to go. A test before winter shows whether it's time to replace. See how to charge a car battery.

Towing for weekend outings
Rowville families often tow camper trailers or box trailers loaded with bikes and kayaks. Newer SUVs usually need a vehicle-specific towbar harness so the car's computer can handle trailer lights correctly. Tapping into tail light wires can trigger warning lights or damage modules. Test the trailer lights before every trip. If you're unsure what your car needs, read do I need a towbar wiring harness first.

Bike racks and number plates
Towbar-mounted bike racks are popular in Rowville, and they often cover the car's tail lights and number plate. In Victoria, a rack that hides the lights or plate needs its own lighting and a plate. Many racks come with a light board that plugs into the trailer socket. If the lights on the rack don't work, check the plug pins and the earth first.

Cameras for family SUVs
Large SUVs and people movers have big blind spots behind them, and Rowville's court-style streets are full of kids and bikes. Many older models didn't come with reversing cameras. A camera with a mirror monitor or a screen on the dash is a sensible upgrade. Wire it to the reverse light circuit, seal the cable entry against water and mount the screen where it doesn't block your view.

Rowville auto electrical questions
Do I need a number plate on my bike rack?
In Victoria, if the rack or bikes block the vehicle's number plate, you need to display a plate on the rack. VicRoads issues these for that purpose. If the tail lights are blocked, you also need working lights on the rack. Check the current rules on the VicRoads website before you travel.
My second car's battery keeps dying. Should I replace it?
Not straight away. A battery that's repeatedly run flat will lose capacity, but sometimes the real cause is an accessory drawing power while parked. Test the battery and measure the parked current draw. If the battery is weak, replace it and use a maintainer to keep it charged.
Local tip for Rowville
Lysterfield Park is popular for mountain biking and paddling, and the car parks can be some distance from help. Before a weekend out, check your trailer and rack lights in the driveway. A quick test with someone watching from behind takes a minute and saves you from a fine or a dangerous drive home.
