Common auto electrical jobs in Lakelands
Lakelands is built around Black Swan and Paganoni Lakes, with Mandurah Road on its western side. Lakelands station opened in June 2023, giving residents a quick train to Perth, and the estate continues to grow.
Station commuters
Since Lakelands station opened in 2023, many residents now drive a few minutes to the station instead of all the way to work. Those short drives don't fully recharge the battery, especially in winter. If your car starts slowly, have the battery tested. Our guide on why a car battery keeps going flat covers the common causes. Switching off accessories before you leave the car helps as well.

Dashcams and cameras
Young families in new cars often add a dashcam or upgrade cameras for safety. A hardwired dashcam with a voltage cut-off is neater and safer than one plugged into the power socket. For older cars, a reversing camera is a popular upgrade for school and shopping centre car parks. Make sure the dashcam doesn't block the driver's view or the car's windscreen sensors, and that the cable is tucked away from the airbags in the pillar trim. A rear camera covering the back window adds useful footage in stop-start traffic.

Hybrids and EVs
Hybrids and electric cars are becoming more common in new estates like Lakelands. They still have a 12V battery that powers the car's systems, and if it's weak the car may not start or show odd warnings. The 12V side can be tested like any car, but the high-voltage system must only be handled by licensed professionals. Look out for orange cables, which mark the high-voltage parts.

First-time towing
Lots of Lakelands families are new to towing, whether it's a box trailer for the garden or a camper for weekends away. Getting the wiring right is important: the right plug, a harness suited to the car and working lights. Our guide on do I need a towbar wiring harness explains when a dedicated harness is needed. Test every light before each trip, with someone standing behind the trailer.

Lakelands auto electrical questions
Can a dashcam drain my battery?
Yes, if it's set to record while parked and doesn't have a low-voltage cut-off. Over a day or two, especially in winter, it can flatten a battery. Use a hardwire kit with an adjustable cut-off, or turn parking mode off if you park at the station all day.
Do electric cars have a normal battery too?
Yes. Most EVs and hybrids have a small 12V battery for the lights, locks, screens and computers. If it goes flat, the car may not switch on even when the main battery is charged. The 12V battery can be tested and replaced, but never touch the high-voltage system yourself.
Local tip for Lakelands
If you park at Lakelands station during the week, take the car for a longer drive on the weekend, perhaps along Mandurah Road to the beach or the shops. It helps the battery recover from short trips, and it's a good chance to notice any warning lights, odd noises or electrical faults before they become problems.
