Bundaberg South is home to Bundaberg State High School, one of the biggest schools in the city, plus a primary school on Walla Street and streets of older Queenslanders. Walker Street and Barolin Street carry a lot of traffic.
Checking a cheap first car
A lot of students and young workers in Bundaberg South buy their first car for a few thousand dollars. Before handing over the money, check the basics: every light works, the battery cranks strongly, the windows go up and down, and no warning lights stay on after starting. A pre-purchase check by a mechanic or auto electrician can find wiring that has been hacked about for old stereos or alarms, which is often where future problems start.

Indicators that flash too fast
If your indicator suddenly flashes twice as fast, one of the globes on that side has usually blown. It's the car's way of telling you. Check the front, rear and side repeater globes, as the fault could be any of them. Fitting LED indicator globes can also cause fast flashing unless you use the right flasher or load resistor. Our guide on why indicators flash fast explains how to fix it.

Jump starts in the school car park
Leaving the lights on during a school day is a classic way to flatten a battery. A jump start will usually get you going, but connecting the leads in the wrong order can damage electronics or cause sparks near the battery. Follow the steps, keep the leads apart, and let the car run for a while afterwards. Our guide on how to jump start a car safely covers it step by step.

Power windows that stop halfway
On older cars, a power window that stops halfway, goes slowly or only works from one switch is very common. It might be the switch, the motor, a broken wire in the door hinge, or a regulator that has worn out. A quick check with a test light can tell you whether power is reaching the motor. Our guide on why an electric window stops working goes through the checks in order.

Bundaberg South auto electrical questions
What electrical things should I check before buying a used car?
Check every light, including brake lights and indicators, and look for any warning lights that stay on. Try the windows, central locking, wipers, horn and air conditioning. Listen to the engine crank: it should sound strong, not slow. Look under the dash for messy wiring or tape. If anything seems off, ask for a professional check before you buy.
Is it okay to use a portable jump starter instead of jumper leads?
Yes, a portable lithium jump starter is handy and doesn't need a second car. Follow the instructions, connect the clamps the right way round and keep it charged, as many go flat after months in a glovebox. If your car needs jump starts often, the battery or charging system has a problem that a jump starter won't fix.
Local tip for Bundaberg South
If your teenager is learning to drive, teach them where the fuse box is and how to read the fuse map on the lid. Keep a few spare fuses of the common ratings and a fuse puller in the glovebox. Knowing how to spot a blown fuse and swap it for one of the same rating can save a call-out for a simple fault.
