Common auto electrical jobs in Wallaville

Wallaville once had a sugar mill whose crushing season doubled the town's population, and today about 360 people live here. The Burnett River forms most of the eastern boundary, and Currajong Creek runs through town on its way to the river.

When the creek and river come up

After heavy rain, the Burnett River and Currajong Creek can rise quickly, and low crossings and farm tracks around Wallaville go under. Driving into floodwater is never worth it. Even shallow water on a rural crossing can push into plugs, the starter motor and sensors under the car, and the faults often show days later. Warning lights, a dead reversing light or a slow crank after a wet drive are all clues. Our guide on what to do when a dashboard warning light comes on explains which lights are urgent.

Tinnies on the Burnett

With the Burnett River on Wallaville's doorstep, small boats and trailers are common. Brake lights are the trailer lights people forget to check, because you can't see them from the driver's seat. A blown brake globe on a highway trailer is a real risk when traffic behind is travelling fast. Back up to a wall or shed at night and watch the reflection, or get someone to stand behind. Our guide on replacing a brake light globe shows how.

Battery light on the highway

If the battery light comes on while you're driving between Wallaville and Childers or Gin Gin, the car is running on battery power alone. You may have only a short time before it stops. Turn off the air conditioning, radio and other loads, and head somewhere safe. The cause is often a failed alternator, a broken drive belt or a loose connection. A belt that breaks may also stop the water pump on some engines, so watch the temperature gauge. Our guide on testing a car battery helps narrow it down.

Short trips around a small town

Plenty of Wallaville cars do little more than run to the state school on Grey Street, the hall and a neighbour's place. Those short trips take more out of the battery at each start than the drive can replace. After a few months the battery sits half charged, and it starts to sulphate. A regular longer drive helps, and so does a smart charger once a month. If you're replacing it, our guide to car battery types explains which type suits your car.

Wallaville auto electrical questions

My car drove through water near Wallaville and now has a warning light. What should I do?

Get it checked soon rather than waiting for the light to clear. Water can sit inside plugs and slowly corrode the pins, and a small fault can grow into a module failure. Note when the light came on and whether the car drives differently. If water got into the cabin or engine intake, tell your insurer early, as many want to inspect first.

How can I check my trailer lights on my own?

At night, back the trailer up close to a wall, shed door or garage, then work the indicators, brake pedal and tail lights while watching the reflection in your mirrors. A brick on the brake pedal works if you're alone. A simple trailer plug tester also shows which circuits are live at the socket, so you can tell whether the fault is in the car or the trailer.
