Common auto electrical jobs in Wheelers Hill
Wheelers Hill is about 23 km south-east of the city, home to around 20,700 people. It's mostly residential, with large blocks and quiet streets, and quick access to EastLink and the Monash Freeway for weekend trips out of town.
Trailers for weekend trips
Wheelers Hill families often have a box trailer, camper or jet ski parked at home, and EastLink makes it easy to head for the Peninsula or Gippsland. Before each trip, test every light with the trailer connected. A plug that's been sitting in the weather often has corroded pins. Our guide on 7-pin and 12-pin trailer plugs explains which one you need.

The second car that sits
Many homes here have a third car, a classic or a convertible that only comes out on weekends. A battery sitting for weeks without a charge slowly loses capacity. A smart charger or maintainer clipped on in the garage keeps it ready to go. If you'll leave a car for longer than a month, a maintainer is the cheapest insurance you can buy.

Keyless entry and central locking
Remote keys and keyless entry make life easy until they stop working. A weak key battery is the most common cause, followed by a flat car battery, a faulty lock actuator or a wiring break in a door hinge. Replace the key battery first, then check the main battery voltage. If one door won't lock, the actuator in that door is a likely suspect.

Dashcams for EastLink and the Monash
With EastLink and the Monash Freeway close by, Wheelers Hill drivers clock up plenty of freeway kilometres. A dashcam records what happens if there's a crash or a near miss. Choose one with good night vision and a parking mode that cuts out before the battery runs low. Fit it high behind the mirror so it doesn't block your view.

Wheelers Hill auto electrical questions
Why does my car's remote key only work up close?
Usually the key battery is getting weak. Replace it with the correct coin cell, which you'll find printed on the old battery. If that doesn't fix it, interference from nearby equipment or a fault in the car's receiver could be the cause. A flat or weak main battery can also make the remote unreliable.
How do I check my trailer lights on my own?
Connect the trailer, turn on the parking lights and walk around to check the tail lights. Then use the hazard lights to check both indicators at once. For brake lights, you can wedge something against the pedal, use a reflection in a window or garage door, or ask a neighbour to help for a minute.
Local tip for Wheelers Hill
If you store a trailer or camper at home in Wheelers Hill, keep a cap on the trailer plug and a small tube of dielectric grease in the toolbox. Smearing a little grease on the pins before each trip keeps moisture out and stops the corrosion that causes most flickering trailer lights.
