What do auto electricians do?

Warning lights on your dash or flickering headlights may indicate an electrical issue, or perhaps your car just won’t start. Fortunately, many auto-electricians offer a mobile service to ensure you’re not left stranded on the side of the road if something unexpected happens. 

Here are some common issues that your auto electrician can help with:

Engine electrics and brakes

It’s important to act on any warning lights on your dash, especially your anti-lock braking system (ABS) to fix any issues before they become unsafe. Firstly, your auto electrician will use a diagnostics machine to review the health of your battery, alternator, and starter motor. 

  • A flat battery can be the cause of many electrical issues but fortunately, they’re easily replaced. However, if your battery isn’t holding charge, your auto electrician will consider whether the alternator (which charges the battery when the car is running) is working.

The starter motor may be the problem if your car won’t start, and this can either be repaired or replaced. An auto electrician can complete checks on fuel pumps and your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system to repair or improve your car’s engine. 

Auto electricals

Having trouble with auto electrics such as central locking, cruise control, windscreen wipers, power windows and mirrors? Your local auto electrician will check for blown fuses or short circuits to isolate and fix the problem.

Lighting systems

Functioning lighting systems are required for safety and legal reasons, so it’s important to have any issues fixed quickly. Lighting issues are often associated with the battery and alternator. 

Car security systems

Keep your vehicle safe and secure with a car alarm and immobiliser installed by a qualified auto sparky. An alarm acts as a deterrent to car thieves and an immobiliser ensures the engine won’t start if entry is gained to the vehicle. Plus, installing a dash cam and reversing camera is another smart safety and security measure.

Emergency roadside assistance

If you find yourself stranded with a car that won’t start, a mobile auto electrician near you can help you get back on the road sooner. Their vehicle is fully-equipped with the necessary tools to diagnose the problem, so they can repair many issues on the spot. For any complex problems, you’ll need to arrange a tow truck to take your car to a safe location for further work.

Wire up a new reverse camera. the old camera unit is being replaced

$100

Malvern East VIC, Australia

28th Oct 2024

I have a holden rodeo. aftermarket screen in dash that has the camera function is part of the radio and clock etc unit. It had an existing reverse camera function in it with an old camera that had a scratch on the lense. I just bought a new unit from jaycar. its a: RESPONSE QC-3532 REVERSING CAMERA WITH MOUNTING BRACKET i have cut of the old unit. there are 5 wires. white - green - red - yellow - black the old unit was mounted above number plate. I am looking at getting the new camera wired up to replace old camera. PRICE RANGE POSTED IS FOR THE ABOVE WIRE UP. ---------------------- Second job i would be keen to get a quote for (separate and in addition to the job above) is a camera and unit that would replace my rearview mirror. i would like this mounted up on the rear tailgate window of my canopy (there is a spot to mount to under break light) see image where i point to rear glass. my old rearview mirror has fallen off so i will either need that remounted, or preferably i would like a unit that actually attaches direct to the front windscreen. if possible i would like the style that has the reflective surface so it can also act as a mirror and then also changes to the monitor style showing the view from rear mounted lense. a unit that has sd card recorder. but not fussed about hooking up to the cloud or anything. Please advise on a unit and installation on this. not looking for the highest quality, but dont want a rubbish one either. just a mid range solid unit. many thanks!

Awesome dude. Great work, he even fixed a ciggy lighter for me when he noticed it wasn’t working . Would highly teccomend.

Had the boat out on the water and after going over a bit of a bump the fish finder, radio and fuel gauge all suddenly stopped working.
