Common auto electrical jobs in Seville Grove

Seville Grove was part of Armadale until it became a separate suburb in 2002. It has a public high school and a library, and it's close to Sherwood station and the Champion Lakes area.

Starter motor or battery?

When a car just clicks instead of starting, it's tempting to blame the battery. Sometimes it is, but a worn starter motor or a corroded cable can give the same symptom. A quick voltage test while cranking tells you which. Our guide on whether it's the starter motor or the battery explains how to tell. Check that the battery terminals are clean and tight before replacing anything, as a loose clamp causes the same click.

Indicators flashing fast

If your indicator suddenly flashes faster than normal, the car is telling you a globe has failed, on the front, rear or side repeater. Walk around the car with the indicator on to find it. Replacing a single indicator globe is usually a quick job. Our guide on how to replace an indicator globe shows how. Carry a spare globe of the right type in the glovebox, as they're cheap and easy to lose track of.

Box trailer lights

Plenty of Seville Grove homes have a box trailer for trips to the tip or garden jobs. Cheap trailer lights often fail because water gets inside and corrodes the globe holder. Sealed LED lights last much longer. Run the wiring through the drawbar or clip it neatly to the frame so it can't drag or snag. Use dielectric grease on the plug pins to keep moisture out.

Reversing cameras for older cars

Older cars don't have a reversing camera, but one can be added. Number plate cameras with a mirror or dash screen suit most cars, and the camera can take power from the reverse light so it comes on automatically. Seal every join, and use grommets where cables pass through metal panels. Test the picture at night as well as in daylight before you finish the job, and adjust the angle so the bumper is just visible.

Cooling fans on hot afternoons

Summer afternoons in Seville Grove can be very hot. If the temperature gauge climbs or the air goes warm in traffic, the radiator or condenser fan may not be running. Check the fuse and relay first. A fan that runs slowly, or makes noise, is often close to failing. Fan motors, relays and fuses are electrical repairs, while refrigerant work needs a licensed technician.

Seville Grove auto electrical questions

My car clicks but won't start. Is it the battery?

Often, but not always. A single click with bright dash lights can point to a starter motor or solenoid fault. Rapid clicking with dim lights usually means a flat battery. Check the battery terminals are clean and tight, then test the battery voltage. If the battery is good and the car still only clicks, the starter circuit needs testing.

Are LED trailer lights worth it?

For most trailers, yes. LED lights are sealed, use less power, and don't have filaments to break on bumpy roads. They usually last much longer than globe lights, especially on trailers that get wet. Make sure the trailer has a good earth, as LEDs can behave oddly with a poor earth connection.

Local tip for Seville Grove

In Seville Grove, keep a small kit in the car with spare indicator and brake globes for your model, a couple of fuses and a torch. Most globes can be changed on the roadside in a few minutes, and having the right one on hand saves a trip home or a fine.
