Suburbs in Gosnells
Light industry lines Albany Highway through Kenwick and Maddington, and those workshops and yards keep trucks, utes and vans busy. Thornlie and Beckenham are established suburbs with big blocks and room for trailers, while Huntingdale and Southern River have filled with newer family housing on former farms. Tonkin Highway, Roe Highway and the rail lines connect the area with the airport, the industrial estates and the city. Albany Highway continues south-east towards the Great Southern, so caravan and towing work is common here too.

Common auto electrical jobs in Gosnells
The City of Gosnells takes in industrial strips, older suburbs and fast-growing estates, so the work shifts from heavy vehicles in one street to family towing in the next.
Trucks and vans on the Albany Highway strip
Workshops, yards and warehouses along Albany Highway in Kenwick and Maddington keep trucks, tippers and vans on the road every day. Many heavy vehicles run 24V systems, and work utes collect extra lights and accessories over time. Loose earths, chafed looms and corroded plugs cause most of the faults. Fixing them during a scheduled service costs less than a breakdown on a job.

Caravans heading down Albany Highway
Albany Highway is the route south to the Great Southern, and plenty of local caravans and campers head that way. The van needs working lights, a properly set-up brake controller and charging that keeps its battery full. Our guide on installing an electric brake controller explains the set-up. Before a long trip, hitch up at home and check every light, the breakaway system and the van battery's charge with the engine running.

Batteries and the summer heat
Summer days well over 40 degrees are part of life in the south-east suburbs, and heat wears out batteries faster than anything else. Most fail at the start of the cooler months, after a summer of damage. Have the battery and charging system tested once a year, and replace a battery that tests weak before it leaves you stuck. Keep the terminals clean and tight as well.

Air conditioning on hot days
When the air conditioning stops cooling, the cause is often electrical. A failed condenser fan, a blown fuse, a faulty relay or a worn compressor clutch can all stop it working, and they can be tested quickly. If the system is low on gas, it has a leak, and refrigerant work needs a licensed technician. A fan that buzzes, rattles or runs slowly is worth replacing before the next heatwave.
