Common auto electrical jobs in Booragoon
Booragoon was established in the 1950s and takes its name from the Noongar name for the lower reaches of the Canning River. Its shopping centre is the area's main retail hub, which brings heavy traffic and full car parks.
Short trips around the shopping centre
If most of your driving is a few kilometres to the shops and back, the battery rarely gets fully charged. Add stop-start traffic around Riseley Street and Marmion Street, and the alternator spends a lot of time at idle. Over months the battery quietly loses capacity. Our guide on how to charge a car battery explains how to top it up at home.

Remote locking that stops working
Busy car parks are where remote locking faults show up: you press the button and nothing happens. Usually it's a weak remote battery. If changing the battery doesn't help, the remote may need reprogramming, or a door lock actuator may have failed. Strong radio interference in some car parks can also stop the remote working until you're closer to the car.

Reversing cameras and parking sensors
Reversing out of a bay with shoppers walking behind the car is one of the riskiest moves in everyday driving. A reversing camera or parking sensors help you see small children and low objects. Aftermarket systems can be fitted to most cars, with the camera wired to the reverse light circuit and a screen on the dash or in the mirror.

Power outlets and USB ports
When the 12V socket or USB port stops charging your phone, the first thing to check is the fuse. Coins and loose objects in the socket often cause a short and blow it. Replace the fuse with one of the same rating, never a bigger one. Our guide on how to check and replace a fuse shows how to find the right one.

Booragoon auto electrical questions
My car remote only works when I'm right next to the car. Why?
A weak battery in the remote is the most common reason, so replace it first. If the problem continues, it could be interference from nearby transmitters, a damaged remote, or a weak 12V battery in the car. If only one remote has the problem, the remote is the cause. If both do, look at the car.
Can a reversing camera be added to an older car?
Yes. Most cars can take an aftermarket camera that powers up when you select reverse. You can choose a mirror-mounted screen, a separate dash screen, or connect to an existing head unit if it supports a camera input. Wired cameras are more reliable than wireless ones, but wireless units suit vehicles where cable runs are difficult.
Local tip for Booragoon
If you do most of your shopping and errands around Booragoon, try combining them into one longer trip each week rather than several short ones. Your battery will thank you, and you'll spend less time in the car park queues. Once a month, go for a longer drive to give the charging system a proper workout.
