Common auto electrical jobs in Ascot Vale
Ascot Vale has around 15,200 residents, the Maribyrnong River to the west and Moonee Ponds Creek to the east. Tram routes 57, 59 and 82 run through it, and the train takes about 10 minutes to the City Loop, so plenty of locals only drive now and then.
Batteries that rarely get a run
With trams on Union Road, Epsom Road and Mount Alexander Road, some Ascot Vale cars only go out for the weekly shop. Short trips never fully recharge the battery, and over time it loses capacity. If cranking is slow, have it tested rather than waiting for the click on a cold morning. Our guide on how to test a car battery explains how.

Click, no start
A click when you turn the key, or a push-button start that does nothing, could be the battery, the starter, a corroded terminal or even a faulty brake switch on some cars. Checking the battery voltage, then the connections, then the starter, is the right order. Guessing often means replacing parts that are fine. See is it my starter motor or my battery.

Windows on street-parked cars
A window that won't close is a worry when your car lives on the street. Common causes are a failed regulator, a worn motor or a faulty switch. If you hear the motor but the glass doesn't move, the regulator is likely broken. If there's no sound at all, check the switch and fuse first. For step-by-step help, read what to do when an electric window stops working.

Brake and tail lights
With cars parked nose to tail in Ascot Vale's narrow streets, tail lights take knocks and cracked lenses let water in. A blown brake light is easy to miss because you can't see it from the driver's seat. Check yours monthly by reversing up to a window or asking someone to look. Our guide on how to replace a brake light globe goes into more detail.

Ascot Vale auto electrical questions
Why won't my push-button start car start?
Common reasons include a weak 12V battery, a flat fob battery, or not pressing the brake firmly enough. Many cars have a backup spot on the steering column or console where you hold the fob if its battery is weak. If the dashboard lights up but the engine won't crank, the starter or battery is the likely cause.
How do I check my brake lights on my own?
Reverse up close to a garage door, shop window or a car with shiny paintwork at night and press the brake. You'll see the reflection. Or wedge something against the brake pedal, such as a broom handle against the seat, and walk around the back. Check the high-mounted brake light too.
Local tip for Ascot Vale
When the Royal Melbourne Show is on at the Showgrounds, or on big race days at Flemington, Ascot Vale streets fill up fast. If you have to park further from home, check that you haven't left lights or accessories on, and lock the car properly. Coming back to a flat battery after a busy event day is no fun.
