Common auto electrical jobs in Coral Cove
Coral Cove is a residential locality wrapped around an 18-hole golf course, with Barolin Rock, one of the area's best-known dive and snorkel spots, just offshore. The coast here is part of the Great Sandy Marine Park.
Wet dive gear in the car
Divers and snorkellers heading out to Barolin Rock often throw wet suits, fins and towels straight into the boot or back seat. Salt water drips into the carpet and can reach the wiring and plugs that run under it. Over time, that causes odd faults with seat belt sensors, boot lights or rear cameras. Use a waterproof tub or liner for wet gear, and dry the carpet quickly if it gets soaked.

Second cars and golf days
Many Coral Cove households have a second car that sits for days at a time while the other one does the driving. Batteries in cars that sit lose charge, especially if the car has an alarm, keyless entry or other systems that stay awake. A smart maintainer keeps the battery healthy without overcharging. If the car is slow to start after a week, have the battery tested before it lets you down.

After a summer storm
Coral Cove was hit by flooding and wind damage during ex-Cyclone Oswald in 2013, and summer storms still roll through. If your car has been parked in deep water or rain has come in through a sunroof or seal, check for wet carpet and damp smells. Water inside the cabin can reach modules and plugs under the seats. Our guide on what to do when a warning light comes on helps if lights appear afterwards.

Reversing cameras for narrow driveways
Some Coral Cove homes have driveways that run close to garden beds, golf paths or neighbours' cars. A reversing camera makes backing out easier, especially if you also tow a boat or trailer. Many systems can be added to older cars without changing the head unit, using a mirror display. Make sure the cable is routed and sealed properly through the tailgate, as that's where water often gets in.

Coral Cove auto electrical questions
Rain got into my car through the sunroof. What should I check?
Dry the carpets and seats as soon as possible, using towels and fans. Check the sunroof drains, as blocked drains are a common cause. Look under the seats and carpets for wet plugs or modules. If warning lights appear, or anything electrical stops working, have it checked before corrosion sets in. Damp carpet can also grow mould quickly in summer.
Is it safe to carry wet dive gear in my car?
Yes, but keep it contained. Salt water soaking into carpets can reach wiring and plugs underneath and cause corrosion over time. Use a plastic tub or waterproof boot liner, and rinse gear at the beach shower if you can. If water does get into the carpet, lift it, dry it and check for wet connectors.
Local tip for Coral Cove
Keep a waterproof boot liner or a big plastic tub in the car if you dive or swim at Barolin Rock. It costs very little and stops salt water soaking into the carpet and reaching the wiring underneath. After a dive, leave the boot open in the carport for an hour to let any damp dry out before you lock the car.
