Common auto electrical jobs in Leeming
Leeming was gazetted in 1971 and most homes went up from the mid-1970s, so it is now a settled suburb of families and long-term owners. Murdoch station sits on its edge and Jandakot Airport is just to the south-east.
Charging systems on the freeway run
Most Leeming drivers are on the Kwinana Freeway or Roe Highway within a few minutes of home. Long runs are easy on a battery, but they work the alternator hard, especially with the air conditioning and lights on. A battery light that flickers, lights that dim at idle or a whining noise under the bonnet are early signs. Our guide on whether your alternator needs replacing explains what to look for.

Cars parked all day at Murdoch station
If you drive to Murdoch station and catch the train, your car may sit in the sun for ten hours before the short drive home. Heat shortens battery life, and a short trip back doesn't put much charge in. If the engine is turning slowly on a cold morning, get the battery tested before it lets you down in the car park. A sunshade also helps keep the cabin and electronics cooler.

Dashcams for Roe Highway and Karel Avenue
Roe Highway and Karel Avenue carry a steady flow of trucks heading to and from the Jandakot industrial area, and merges onto the freeway get tight at peak hour. A dashcam with a rear camera gives you a record of what happened if there's a bump. Run the power lead along the headlining, fuse it, and use a hardwire kit with voltage cut-off if you want parking mode.

Windows, locks and lights on older family cars
Plenty of Leeming families keep their cars for a long time, and by ten years old the small electrical faults start: a window that stops halfway, a central locking actuator that clicks but doesn't lock, or a tail light that works only sometimes. Many of these come down to a worn switch, a broken wire in the door hinge or a corroded globe holder. Our guide on electric windows that stop working walks through the checks.

Leeming auto electrical questions
My battery light came on while driving on the freeway. Can I keep going?
Not for long. The battery light usually means the alternator has stopped charging, and the car is now running on battery alone. Turn off the air conditioning, radio and anything else you don't need, and get off the freeway somewhere safe. Depending on the battery, you may only have a short distance before the engine stops. Have the charging system tested before driving again.
How long should a car battery last?
In a warm climate, three to five years is typical for a standard battery, and sometimes less if the car does lots of short trips or sits for long periods. Heat is harder on batteries than cold. If your battery is over three years old and the engine is cranking slowly, have it tested before summer rather than waiting for it to fail.
Local tip for Leeming
If you park at Murdoch station during the week, keep a compact jump starter in the boot and check it's charged once a month. It costs less than a call-out, it doesn't need another car, and it gets you home if the battery picks a hot afternoon in the car park to give up.
