Common auto electrical jobs in Curlewis

Curlewis sits between Leopold and Drysdale, with Port Phillip Bay to the north, the Bellarine Rail Trail to the south and a new shopping centre on Centennial Boulevard. Over 650 lots have been developed in the Jetty Road growth area, and estates such as Curlewis Parks and Bayview keep adding families.

Bike racks and the rail trail

The Bellarine Rail Trail runs along the southern edge of Curlewis, and plenty of families load bikes on the back of the car for a ride. A rear bike carrier often hides the tail lights, indicators or number plate. When that happens you need a light board with its own lights and a plate, plugged into the trailer socket. Check every light works before you head off.

More outlets for the family car

With phones, tablets and car seats in the back, one charging point in the dash isn't enough for most Curlewis families. Extra USB or 12V outlets can be added to the console or cargo area, but each one should be fused and wired to a circuit that switches off with the ignition. Our guide on where to put the fuse when wiring an accessory explains how to do it safely.

Electric windows that stop halfway

Kids playing with window switches is a fast way to wear them out, and a window that stops halfway or creeps up slowly is a common family car fault. It can be a worn switch, a tired regulator or a broken wire in the door hinge. Check whether the window works from both the driver's master switch and its own switch. Our guide on why an electric window stops working walks through the checks.

Reversing cameras for the caravan

Curlewis households heading off on holidays often tow a caravan or camper, and a car's own reversing camera can't see past the van. A camera mounted on the back of the caravan, wired or wireless, shows what's behind on the road and when backing into a site. Wired cameras give the most reliable picture, while good wireless kits save running cable through the van and drawbar.

Batteries in busy family cars

School runs, sport and quick trips to the shops on Centennial Boulevard all mean lots of starts and not much charging time. Car batteries usually last three to five years, and hard use shortens that. A slow crank, a battery warning light or electrical gremlins on cold mornings are early signs. Our guide on how to test a car battery shows you how to check it at home.

Curlewis auto electrical questions

Do I need a light board on my bike rack?

If your bike rack or the bikes on it hide any of your tail lights, brake lights, indicators or number plate, you need a light board with working lights and a plate. A light board plugs into your car's trailer socket, so you'll need a towbar wiring setup. Check the rules in your state for the number plate on the board. Test all the lights before every ride.

Can I add USB chargers to my car myself?

Yes, if you're comfortable with basic wiring. Use a quality outlet, a fuse rated for the outlet and wire sized for the current. Connect to a circuit that turns off with the ignition, so a charging phone can't drain the battery overnight. Avoid tapping into airbag wiring, which is usually yellow, and leave airbag systems to licensed professionals.
