Live in Morley and need an auto electrician? This is one of the busiest family suburbs north-east of the river, built around a big regional shopping centre and split down the middle by Tonkin Highway, so the work is mostly everyday cars doing lots of stop-start driving.

Common auto electrical jobs in Morley

Morley is about 10 km north-east of the city and has grown as a shopping and commercial centre since the late 1950s. With its big shopping centre, Morley station on the Ellenbrook line and a big residential population, most cars here do short, busy trips.

Short trips around Morley

Driving to the shops, then to school, then home again adds up to lots of starts and very little charging. Over a hot Perth summer that wears a battery out faster, and many cars now have stop-start systems that need a matching AGM or EFB battery. Fitting the wrong type can upset the charging system. Read our guide on car battery types before you buy a replacement.

Cameras for busy car parks

Shopping centre car parks are where most minor bumps happen. A reversing camera and front or rear parking sensors take a lot of stress out of backing out between full rows on a Saturday. Older cars can have a camera fitted to the number plate area with a screen on the mirror or dash. Fuse the power supply and run the cable through grommets so it stays dry.

Warning lights after a long week

A warning light on the dash is one of the most common reasons Morley drivers ring an auto electrician. Many lights are caused by a weak battery, a faulty sensor or a loose plug, rather than anything serious. An OBD2 scanner reads the stored fault codes and gives you a starting point. Our guide on reading fault codes with an OBD2 scanner walks you through it.

Remotes, locks and windows

Family cars get a hard life: doors opened hundreds of times a week, kids pressing window switches and keys dropped on the pavement. Central locking that only works on some doors, a window that stops halfway, or a remote that needs to be right next to the car are all common faults. A flat remote battery is the cheapest fix, so try that first.

Morley auto electrical questions

Why does my stop-start car need a special battery?

Stop-start systems restart the engine many times on every trip, so they need a battery built for deep, repeated cycling. Most use AGM or EFB batteries. A standard flooded battery fitted in their place will usually fail early, and the car may switch off its stop-start function or show warnings. Some cars also need the new battery registered to the car's computer after fitting.

Is a dashboard warning light always serious?

Not always, but don't ignore it. A red light such as oil pressure, temperature or the battery light means pull over safely and check. Amber lights, like the engine light, usually mean a fault has been stored and the car should be checked soon. Reading the fault code first tells you whether it's a sensor, a wiring fault or something mechanical.

Local tip for Morley

If you park at Morley station or the shopping centre every day, look at your battery terminals next time the bonnet is up. White or green crust on the clamps adds resistance and makes the car harder to start in the heat. Cleaning them takes ten minutes with a wire brush and a little baking soda and water, and a smear of terminal grease helps keep them clean.
