Common auto electrical jobs in Girrawheen
Girrawheen was established in the 1970s about 15 km from the CBD, bounded by Wanneroo Road, Beach Road, Marangaroo Drive and Mirrabooka Avenue. It's a younger, diverse community, and many cars here are older models that owners keep going themselves.
Checking and replacing fuses
When something electrical suddenly stops working, a blown fuse is often the first thing to check. Most cars have a fuse box under the dash and another under the bonnet, with a diagram in the lid or owner's manual. Always replace a fuse with one of the same rating, and if it blows again, there's a fault to find. Our guide on checking and replacing a fuse shows how.

Indicator globes
A blown indicator globe usually makes the indicator flash fast, which is the car's way of telling you. Replacing the globe is a simple job on most cars, done through the back of the light or after removing the lens. Check the new globe is the right type and colour. Our guide on replacing an indicator globe explains the steps.

Learning to use a multimeter
A basic multimeter is one of the most useful tools for anyone keeping an older car running. It can check battery voltage, test fuses, confirm power at a plug and find a bad earth. You don't need an expensive one, as long as it reads DC volts and continuity. Our guide on using a multimeter on a car explains the basic tests anyone can do.

Testing a battery before you buy one
A car that won't start isn't always a battery problem. Corroded terminals, a loose clamp or a weak starter can look the same. Test the battery voltage at rest and while cranking, and clean the terminals before deciding. If you do need a new battery, match the size and cold cranking amps to the original. Many parts stores will also test a battery for you.

Girrawheen auto electrical questions
How much do auto electricians charge?
Rates vary by business and job type. Many charge an hourly rate plus parts, with a minimum charge for callouts. Simple jobs like a battery replacement are quick, while intermittent faults take longer to trace. Ask for a quote or an estimate before work starts, and ask how they charge for diagnosis.
Can I fix electrical faults myself?
Simple jobs like changing globes, fuses and batteries are within reach for most people with basic tools and a bit of care. Leave airbags, high-voltage hybrid systems and complex wiring faults to professionals. If a fuse keeps blowing, don't fit a bigger one; have the circuit checked, because something is wrong.
Local tip for Girrawheen
Keep a small kit in the glovebox: a set of spare fuses in your car's sizes, a fuse puller, a couple of common globes and a cheap test light. In Girrawheen, where plenty of people keep older cars going themselves, that kit can turn a dead indicator or radio into a two-minute roadside fix.
