Common auto electrical jobs in Wallington

Wallington lies between Leopold and Ocean Grove, with the Bellarine Highway running through and Grubb Road branching south. It's known for its strawberry fair, a water theme park on the edge of the township and the recreation reserve on Wallington Road, and its lifestyle properties, many of around two hectares, suit trailers, utes and weekend projects.

Brake lights on the highway

The Bellarine Highway through Wallington carries fast traffic and turning vehicles at the Grubb Road intersection, so a blown brake light or indicator is a real risk. You can't see your own brake lights, so check them regularly using a reflection in a shop window or with a helper. Our guide on how to replace a brake light globe shows how easy the job usually is.

Fridges in the ute

Plenty of Wallington locals run a 12V fridge in the ute or wagon for beach days, fishing trips and camping, and a fridge left running overnight is hard on a battery. A fridge running off the starting battery can leave you stranded. A second battery with a DC-DC charger, or at least a low-voltage cut-out on the fridge, protects the starting battery. Our guide on choosing a DC-DC charger or an isolator compares the options.

Box trailers for garden and green waste

Bigger blocks mean more garden waste, mulch and firewood, and most Wallington homes have a box trailer to move it. A flat 7-pin plug is the standard for small trailers, and a damaged or poorly wired plug is the most common cause of lights that don't work. Our guide on how to wire a 7-pin trailer plug shows which wire goes where.

Blown fuses in working utes

Older utes on Wallington properties collect add-ons over the years: spotlights, a radio, a pump, a phone charger. When a fuse keeps blowing, something is drawing too much current or a wire is rubbing through and shorting to the body. Replace a blown fuse only with one of the same rating, never larger. Our guide on how to check and replace a fuse covers the basics.

Summer queues to the coast

On hot summer weekends the Bellarine Highway and Grubb Road fill with traffic heading to Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads, and stop-start driving is hard on air conditioning. If the air con goes warm when you're stopped but cools when moving, the radiator fans may not be running properly. A fan relay or fuse is a cheap thing to check first. Refrigerant work needs a licensed technician.

Wallington auto electrical questions

Why do my trailer lights work on one car but not another?

Usually the problem is in the car, not the trailer. Check the car's trailer socket for corrosion and bent pins, and look in the fuse box for a blown trailer fuse. Some newer cars need a module or harness for the trailer lights to work at all. If both sockets look fine, use a test light on each pin to see which circuit isn't getting power.

My fuse keeps blowing. Can I fit a bigger one?

No. A fuse protects the wiring from overheating, and fitting a larger one can let a wire get hot enough to melt or start a fire. A fuse that keeps blowing means there's a fault, such as a short circuit, a failing motor or an accessory drawing too much current. Find and fix the cause, then fit a fuse of the correct rating.
