Common auto electrical jobs in North Geelong
North Geelong mixes post-war housing with industry: commercial units off Thompson Road, a resource recovery centre on Douro Street, recycling and demolition yards, the Ballarat and Warrnambool railway lines, and the Corio Quay port nearby. Work vehicles here do hard, stop-start miles.
24V lighting on trucks
Trucks and heavy vehicles around the North Geelong yards mostly run 24V systems. Fitting 12V globes or accessories to a 24V vehicle will blow them quickly, so check the rating every time. Vibration, wash-downs and dust from recycling and demolition sites loosen connectors and corrode earths, causing lights that flicker or fail. Sealed LED lights, sealed connectors and earths made to clean, bare metal hold up much better in that kind of work.

Beacons and strobes for site vehicles
Many sites around North Geelong and the port require vehicles to carry an amber beacon or strobes. A magnetic beacon plugged into the accessory socket is fine for occasional use, but a permanent install should be wired through a switch and relay with its own fuse. Mount the beacon so it is visible from all sides and route the cable away from door seals where it can be crushed. Our guide on where to put the fuse when wiring an accessory explains why placement matters.

Dashcams and cameras for fleet vans
Small businesses running vans out of the Thompson Road units often fit dashcams and rear cameras across the fleet. For vans that sit overnight in a yard, a hardwired camera with a low-voltage cut-off is essential so a parked van still starts in the morning. Reversing cameras are a real help on vans with no rear windows, especially when backing into tight loading bays.

Heavy cable and connectors
Tailgate loaders, winches, tool chargers and fridges in work vehicles all need heavy cable and solid connections. Undersized cable gets hot and wastes voltage, and the problem only shows up under load. If a winch slows down or a fridge cuts out when the engine is off, the cable size and the crimps are the first things to check. Our guide on what size cable you need for 12V has a sizing table you can work from.

Isolators and flat batteries on idle trucks
A truck or plant item left in the yard over a long weekend can come back flat, especially with trackers, two-way radios and cameras drawing power. A battery isolator switch lets you cut everything off when the vehicle is parked. Isolators themselves wear out, and a corroded or loose one can cause hard starting or intermittent power loss. If a vehicle has been flat more than once, test the batteries under load and check for parasitic drains.

North Geelong auto electrical questions
Can I use 12V parts on my 24V truck?
Not directly. A 12V globe or accessory on a 24V system will fail quickly and can be a fire risk. Use parts rated for 24V, or many LED lights rated for 9 to 32V. If you need to run a 12V item like a radio or fridge, fit a proper 24V to 12V converter rather than taking power from one of the two batteries.
Can an auto electrician work on our vehicles at our North Geelong yard?
Many mobile auto electricians service fleets on site, which saves taking vehicles off the road. Be ready with a safe, level area to work, access to power if possible, and a list of faults for each vehicle. Grouping jobs into one visit is usually more efficient. Larger jobs such as full rewires may still need a workshop.
Local tip for North Geelong
Keep a simple fault log in each work vehicle: a page in the glovebox or a shared note where drivers write down any light out, warning light or odd behaviour, with the date. When the auto electrician comes to your North Geelong yard, they can work straight through the list instead of chasing vague reports, and you will spot repeat faults before they cost you a day off the road.
