Common auto electrical jobs in Vermont
Vermont is about 21 km east of the city and home to around 11,000 people. It's split between the Cities of Whitehorse and Maroondah. The area stayed an orchard district until the 1950s and 1960s, and a 1923 bus service between Vermont and Mitcham is said to be the first community bus route in Victoria.
Battery testing before winter
Vermont's cold winter mornings are when weak batteries finally give up. If your battery is more than three years old, have it tested in autumn. A slow crank, flickering dash lights or a clicking sound when you turn the key are all early signs. Our guide on car battery types helps you choose the right replacement for your car. Testing takes only a few minutes.

Box trailers for tip runs and weekends
Many Vermont homes have a box trailer for garden waste, tip runs or moving gear. Trailers that sit outside for months often have corroded plugs and blown globes. Check every light before you go and replace rusty globe holders with sealed LED units. Our guide on why trailer lights stop working helps track down faults. Keep a cap on the trailer plug when it's not in use to keep out water and dirt.

Indicators and globes
A blown indicator globe can mean other drivers don't see you turning off Canterbury Road. If your indicators flash fast, a globe has probably blown. Check front, rear and side repeaters. Our guide on how to replace an indicator globe covers most cars, and many globes can be changed at home in minutes. If you fit LED globes, make sure they're designed for indicators, or the flashing speed may change.

Air conditioning that blows warm
Air conditioning that stops working on a hot day is often an electrical issue: a blown fuse, a stuck relay, a faulty pressure switch or a fan that won't run. Listen for the compressor clutch clicking on when you press the AC button. If it doesn't, the fault may be electrical. Refrigerant work must be done by a licensed technician.

Vermont auto electrical questions
What battery should I buy for my car?
Check the battery that's in the car now, or the owner's manual. Cars with start-stop systems usually need an AGM or EFB battery. Make sure the size, terminal layout and cold cranking amps match or exceed the original. A battery that's too small or the wrong type often fails early.
How often should I check my trailer lights?
Every time you use the trailer. Plug it in, turn on the lights and check tail lights, brake lights and indicators. It takes a minute, and driving with faulty trailer lights is both unsafe and illegal. Look for green corrosion on the plug pins and clean it with a small brush.
Local tip for Vermont
If you use a box trailer in Vermont for tip runs or garden waste, keep it under a cover or in the garage when you can. Sunlight and rain break down light lenses, cables and plugs. A cheap cover can add years to the trailer's wiring and save you a lot of frustration.
