Common auto electrical jobs in Innaloo

Innaloo is about 9 km north-west of the CBD, between Osborne Park and Doubleview. Much of the area was once market gardens around a swamp that was drained into Herdsman Lake, and today its retail centres sit beside an established residential area.

Wiring a work van properly

Delivery and service vans around Innaloo often carry fridges, inverters, lighting and charging for handheld devices. Each load needs the right cable size for its current and run length, or voltage drops and wires heat up. Our guide on what size cable you need for 12V explains how to choose. Good quality crimps and a fuse near the battery for each circuit complete the job.

Reversing cameras on vans

Loading docks and tight retail car parks are tough places to reverse a van with no rear windows. A rear camera mounted high on the back doors gives a far better view than a bumper camera. Wiring has to pass through the door hinge area, so use a flexible loom with a proper grommet to avoid breaks from repeated opening and closing.

Won't start after the movies

Coming back to a car that won't start after a long session at the cinema is a common story. Headlights left on, a door not fully closed or simply an old battery that finally gives up are the usual causes. If the car clicks or cranks slowly, the battery is the first suspect. Our guide on why a car battery keeps going flat helps if it happens more than once.

Central locking on fleet vans

Vans that are locked and unlocked dozens of times a day wear out door lock actuators, especially on the sliding and rear doors. A door that won't lock with the others, or locks and then pops back up, usually has a failed actuator or a broken wire where the loom crosses into the door. Replacing the actuator is a common, fairly quick repair.

Innaloo auto electrical questions

Where should a reversing camera go on a van?

On a van without rear windows, mounting the camera high on the rear doors or the roof line gives the best view of the area behind and of the ground near the bumper. Run the cable through a flexible door loom, seal the camera's connection and power it from the reverse lights through a fuse.

Why does one van door not lock with the others?

Usually the lock actuator in that door has failed, or a wire has broken where the loom bends between the body and the door. Sliding doors are especially prone to this. Listen for a click from the door when you press the remote, as no sound usually points to the actuator or its wiring.

Local tip for Innaloo

If you run vans out of Innaloo, open each sliding and rear door wide once a month and look at the rubber boot where the wiring crosses into the door. A cracked boot or exposed wires is an early warning. Fixing it before a wire breaks avoids a van that won't lock at the end of a shift.
