Suburbs in Kalamunda and Mundaring
The area climbs from the flat foothills to the scarp. Forrestfield's northern half is industrial, beside the Forrestfield Marshalling Yard, and High Wycombe has the eastern end of the Airport line. Wattle Grove is part suburban and part semi-rural, with poultry farms, horse properties and nurseries. Up the hill, Lesmurdie and Kalamunda sit among jarrah forest about 250 to 300 metres above sea level, with colder nights and winding roads. Swan View backs onto John Forrest National Park, and Mundaring sits on Great Eastern Highway about 34 km from the city. Bush, hills and towing shape most of the work.

Common auto electrical jobs in Kalamunda and Mundaring
Hills, bush and industrial estates sit only a few kilometres apart here, so the work ranges from trucks at the bottom of the scarp to 4WDs and caravans on bush blocks at the top.
Dual batteries for hills weekends
Plenty of 4WDs in the hills head out camping and touring, and a fridge running for a few days needs a second battery. A DC-DC charger suits most modern vehicles with smart alternators, while older vehicles can often use an isolator. Our guide on how a dual battery system works covers the basics. Fuse both ends of the cable between the batteries, and use cable sized for the run from the engine bay to the tub or canopy.

Rodents and bush wiring
Rats and mice shelter under bonnets in bushland suburbs, especially in cooler months, and they chew through wiring looms. The result can be anything from a warning light to a car that won't start. Our guide on rodent damage to car wiring explains what to look for and how to deter them. Lifting the bonnet now and then to look for nesting material is a cheap habit that catches damage early.

Trucks and freight at the foothills
Forrestfield's industrial area and the marshalling yard bring trucks, prime movers and service vehicles into the area every day. Many run 24V systems with heavy loads from lights, cab accessories and trailer connections. Keeping batteries, alternators and trailer plugs in good order keeps them on the road. A failed alternator on a prime mover can stop a whole delivery schedule, so regular checks pay for themselves.

Driving lights on dark hills roads
Once you leave the main roads, hills roads can be winding and unlit, and kangaroos are common at dawn and dusk. Good headlights and properly aimed driving lights help a lot. Wire driving lights through a relay so they only come on with high beam, and check the aim after fitting. Keep the lenses clean, as dust from gravel roads cuts light output noticeably.
