Alternators on older cars and utes
A car or ute that's done serious kilometres often needs its alternator looked at. Watch for dim lights at idle, a whining noise, a battery light or a battery that keeps going flat. A charging test with the engine running quickly shows whether the alternator is doing its job. Our guide on knowing when an alternator needs replacing covers the signs.

LED light bars on utes
Light bars are popular on utes used for work and weekends. They need a relay, a fuse near the battery, a switch, and usually a high-beam trigger so they only work with high beam on. Cheap bars can leak and fail, so look for good sealing and a solid bracket. Aim the bar properly, because a badly aimed light bar dazzles oncoming drivers on Reid Highway.

Relays for accessories
Many accessory faults come from switches carrying more current than they're designed for. A relay lets a small dash switch control a heavy load like a light bar, compressor or fan, with the heavy current running on short, thick cable. Our guide on wiring a 12V relay shows the standard pin numbers and a typical layout. Mount the relay somewhere dry and easy to reach.

Battery replacement made simple
Replacing a battery on an older car is usually straightforward, but a few things matter: match the size, terminal layout and cold cranking amps, keep the hold-down tight, and clean the terminals. If your car has a radio code, have it handy or use a memory saver. Recycle the old battery at a collection point; most battery sellers accept them.

Beechboro auto electrical questions
Do LED light bars need to be wired to high beam?
In most cases, yes. Driving lights, including light bars, must only work when high beam is on and switch off when you dip. A wiring kit with a high-beam trigger wire does this. Use a relay and a fuse close to the battery. If you're unsure about the rules for your setup, ask an auto electrician.
How long should a car battery last in Perth?
Heat is hard on batteries, so in Perth many last around three to five years, sometimes less in cars that do mainly short trips. Batteries often fail without much warning, especially on the first cold mornings after a hot summer. A load test once the battery is three years old helps you replace it before it lets you down.
Local tip for Beechboro
If you've added accessories to a Beechboro work ute over the years, open the bonnet and look at the battery terminals. If there's a pile of ring terminals stacked on the positive post, it's time for a proper fuse block or power distribution point. Stacked terminals work loose and cause faults that are hard to find.
