Common auto electrical jobs in Turvey Park

Turvey Park is one of Wagga's established inner suburbs, with homes from the early 1900s to the 1960s. Schools, TAFE and Charles Sturt University's South Campus bring in students and staff, so older first cars sit alongside family wagons.

Students' older cars

Students heading to the TAFE or the university's South Campus often drive older, cheaper cars, and those cars tend to have tired batteries and alternators. A car that needs a jump start once might just have been left with the lights on. If it happens again, the alternator should be tested along with the battery. Our guide on how to know if your alternator needs replacing explains the warning signs.

Globes for the school run

Fog sits low around Wagga on winter mornings, and the school run along Fernleigh Road and Coleman Street often starts in poor light. A blown headlight or tail light makes a car much harder to see. Headlight globes usually fail one at a time, so if one goes, the other is not far behind. Many cars let you change them at home in a few minutes. Our guide on how to change a headlight globe covers the common designs.

Electric windows that stop halfway

On older family cars, electric windows are one of the most common faults. The window may go down and not come back up, move slowly, or work only from the driver's switch. The cause can be a worn switch, a broken wire in the door hinge, a tired motor or a failed regulator. It pays to check the simple things first. Our guide on electric windows that stop working shows how to narrow it down.

Towbars for family cars

With the showground on the suburb's doorstep, plenty of locals tow a trailer or float at some stage, whether for show week, sport or moving house. Fitting a towbar to a modern family car often needs a vehicle-specific wiring harness, because the lights are controlled by computers that do not like extra load. Our guide on whether you need a towbar wiring harness explains when a simple loom will do and when it will not.

Turvey Park auto electrical questions

My car clicks but won't start. Is it the battery or the starter?

Either can cause it. A weak battery often gives a rapid clicking and dim dash lights, while a faulty starter may give one loud click with the lights staying bright. Corroded battery terminals can mimic both. Testing the battery first is quick and cheap, and it rules out the most common cause before anyone looks at the starter motor.

Is it worth fixing the electrics on an older first car?

Often, yes. Many faults on older cars, such as a corroded earth, a failed relay, a worn window switch or a tired battery, are inexpensive to fix and can keep a sound car on the road for years. Ask for a diagnosis and a written quote first so you can compare the cost of the repair with what the car is worth.

Local tip for Turvey Park

Turvey Park's older homes often have narrow driveways or single carports, so second cars end up parked on the street under trees. Sap, leaves and bird droppings block the drain holes below the windscreen, and water can then find its way into wiring under the dash. Clear the scuttle area under the wipers a few times a year.
