Towbar wiring for modern SUVs
Fitting a towbar to a late-model SUV isn't just bolting on a tongue. Many newer cars use body control modules that monitor every light circuit, and splicing into them can trigger faults. A vehicle-specific wiring harness plugs in and isolates the trailer circuits, so a trailer fault can't upset the car. Our guide on whether you need a towbar wiring harness explains why.

Hardwired dashcams
Dashcams are popular with Currambine commuters on the freeway and Marmion Avenue. Plugging into the cigarette socket works, but hardwiring to the fuse box gives a cleaner install and enables parking mode. Use an add-a-fuse tap and a hardwire kit with a low-voltage cut-off, so the camera shuts down before it drains the battery. Our guide on where to put the fuse helps.

Jump starting safely
A flat battery in the station car park is a common call. Modern cars have sensitive electronics, so jump starting needs care: connect in the right order, use the car's designated jump points, and never connect directly to the negative terminal of a car with a battery sensor. A compact lithium jump starter in the boot avoids needing another car. Our guide on jump starting a car safely shows the steps.

Keyless entry and push-button start
Push-button start cars rely on a weak radio signal from the key. A flat key battery, interference or a fault in the car's antennas can stop the car from recognising the key. Most cars have a backup method, such as holding the key against the start button. If it happens often, the key battery or an antenna is worth checking.

Currambine auto electrical questions
Will a hardwired dashcam flatten my battery?
Not if it's wired properly. A hardwire kit with a low-voltage cut-off switches the camera off before the battery gets too low to start the car. Set the cut-off conservatively, especially if the car is parked for days at a time. If you leave the car at the airport or for a long stretch, consider switching parking mode off.
What should I do if my push-button car won't recognise the key?
First, replace the coin battery in the key. Then try the backup method in your owner's manual, which often means holding the key fob against the start button or placing it in a slot. If the car still won't start, the issue may be with the car's immobiliser or antennas, which needs a diagnostic check.
Local tip for Currambine
Currambine is close to the coast, so even newer cars here pick up salt on the paint and in the engine bay. Once a year, have the battery terminals and the towbar socket cleaned and sprayed. A corroded towbar socket is one of the most common reasons trailer lights fail on cars that look almost new.
