Common auto electrical jobs in Heathmont
Heathmont is about 26 km east of the city and home to around 9,900 people. Its railway station opened in 1926, and its population grew from about 600 in 1953 to more than 8,700 by 2001. It was part of the City of Ringwood until Maroondah was formed in 1994.
Station commuters
Many Heathmont residents drive a short distance to the station on the Belgrave line and leave their car all day. Short trips don't recharge the battery after starting, especially in winter with lights and heaters on. A longer drive at the weekend, or a smart charger once a month, keeps the battery healthy. Test it each autumn if it's more than three years old.

Brake lights and tail lights
Canterbury Road traffic can be stop-start, and working brake lights are essential to avoid rear-end collisions. Check them monthly using a reflection in a window or garage door, or ask someone to help. Replace globes on both sides together. Our guide on replacing a brake light globe covers most cars. If a globe keeps blowing or a light flickers, check the holder and earth connection for corrosion, which is common on cars parked outside through wet winters.

Box trailers and campers
Many Heathmont families have a box trailer for tip runs or a camper for weekends away. Trailers parked outside often have corroded plugs and failed globes. Before each trip, test all the lights with the trailer connected. Our guide on how to wire a 7-pin trailer plug helps if the plug needs replacing. Keep the plug capped between uses and smear a little dielectric grease on the pins, which keeps out moisture and stops most flickering faults.

Air conditioning fan faults
If your air conditioning blows warm or the fan only works on high, the cause is often electrical. A failed blower resistor commonly leaves the fan working only on top speed, while a faulty relay, fuse or pressure switch can stop the system altogether. These are usually inexpensive parts. Refrigerant work must be done by a licensed technician. Check the fuses first, as they're the cheapest fix.

Heathmont auto electrical questions
Why does my car's fan only work on high?
This is usually caused by a failed blower motor resistor or resistor pack. The highest setting often bypasses the resistor, so it keeps working while the lower speeds stop. Replacing the resistor is usually a fairly simple job. If the fan doesn't work at all, check the fuse, relay and motor.
How often should I replace my car battery?
Most car batteries last about three to five years in Melbourne conditions, but short trips and hot summers can shorten that. If your battery is more than three years old, have it tested each year. Replace it if the test shows it's weak, rather than waiting for it to fail.
Local tip for Heathmont
If you drive to Heathmont station each day, put a reminder in your phone to check your brake lights once a month. Ask a family member to step on the brake while you look, or reverse up to a garage door and check the reflection. It takes a minute and could prevent a crash.
