Motorbike electric problem

£500

Selly Park, West Midlands

19th Feb 2026

I have an issue with my motorbike keeway rkf 125 e5 2021, I installed a gps tracker and I forgot put the fuse on the tracker, my bike worked 8min from.home to work normally, then when I came back to home worked like 4min then the bike turned off so just I pressed start again and it turned on, worked like 3min and then it turned off again after that the bike doesn't start any more, Sometimes I hear small popping sounds from the exhaust. I checked the spark plugs and they're sparking and getting fuel, so I replaced them in case they were damaged. I also replaced the 15A and 20A fuses on the motorcycle, but it still won't start. I'm not an expert mechanic, but I have very basic knowledge, so I suspect it might be the CKP sensor, but I don't know how to check it. I hope you can help me diagnose the problem and give me a price estimate for all the work.

Top Auto Electricians related questions

The price of hiring an auto electrician in Birmingham really depends on the kind of work your car needs, the model you drive, and whether any parts need replacing.

As a guide, smaller jobs like minor wiring repairs may start from around £70, while add-ons like dash cam installations often fall between £60 and £100. Battery replacements are commonly around £80 to £120, depending on the vehicle and battery type. More involved repairs, such as alternator replacement, can start from around £250.

Same-day or next-day appointments may be possible depending on Tasker availability and the type of repair required. You can discuss urgency and timing directly when reviewing offers, which is especially helpful in busy areas like Edgbaston and Moseley.

According to Airtasker data across the UK, February, March, and June tend to show the highest activity for auto electrician tasks. This aligns with seasonal vehicle maintenance patterns, such as checking batteries, alternators, and electronics after winter or before summer trips.

For Birmingham specifically, early spring and mid-summer remain ideal times to book, as Taskers are generally more available and drivers are actively scheduling essential electrical repairs and installations.

Central and well-connected areas such as Edgbaston, Digbeth, Moseley, and Harborne often see active task postings. Availability can vary, so posting your task allows local auto electricians to respond directly.

What’s included in auto electrician services

Keeping your car’s electrical systems in top condition is essential for safety and reliability. If your vehicle is showing warning signs or struggling to start, a qualified auto electrician can investigate the cause and recommend appropriate repairs. When you book an auto electrician in Birmingham, services may include:

Diagnosing electrical faults

Modern cars rely on complex wiring and onboard computers, making it tricky to identify faults. Auto electricians often perform detailed diagnostic scans and systematic checks to pinpoint issues with batteries, alternators, starter motors, sensors, or ECUs.

In areas like Edgbaston and the city centre, where newer and hybrid vehicles are common, accurate diagnostics help avoid replacing the wrong part and reduce repeat repairs.

Fixing lighting and wiring problems

Flickering headlights, blown fuses, or malfunctioning interior lights can be both inconvenient and unsafe. In Digbeth, narrow streets and on-street parking are common, so properly working headlights and indicators are crucial during early morning or evening drives.

Auto electrician work can include repairing damaged wiring, replacing blown fuses, and resolving recurring electrical shorts to keep your vehicle roadworthy.

Installing vehicle electronics and accessories

From dash cams and parking sensors to upgraded infotainment systems, auto electricians can carefully install electronics while preserving your vehicle’s existing wiring and systems.

This is particularly helpful for drivers in Birmingham city centre or Moseley, where tight streets and limited parking can make manoeuvring harder, and added tech like sensors or cameras can prevent minor accidents or parking mishaps.

Why choose auto electrician Taskers in Birmingham?

Car electrical problems can be unpredictable, whether you’re dealing with dashboard warning lights, faulty wiring, or a battery that won’t hold its charge. Choosing a local auto electrician in Birmingham means working with someone who understands the area and can tailor their service to your vehicle and location.

Most auto electricians in Birmingham have local expertise

Taskers in Birmingham are familiar with UK safety standards and vehicle regulations. Certain installations, such as dash cams, reversing sensors, or battery-related repairs, may require compliance with safety rules. Even if you’re unsure about the requirements, a local Tasker can guide you and perform the work correctly.

Most auto electricians in Birmingham can address unique local challenges

Taskers are familiar with the quirks of different Birmingham suburbs. Digbeth’s narrow streets and limited parking can make on-site repairs more challenging, while Harborne experiences heavier suburban traffic. Local Taskers often plan efficiently to support a fast and safe service, whether at home, work, or roadside.

Most auto electricians in Birmingham offer fast turnaround times

Residents in Edgbaston may book same-day battery or lighting repairs, while commuters in Moseley frequently arrange wiring or accessory installations to fit around work. Local Taskers aim to complete tasks promptly without compromising quality.

Most auto electricians in Birmingham can provide transparent, local pricing

Auto electrician pricing in Birmingham can vary depending on the job, your vehicle, and whether parts need replacing. It can also vary by neighbourhood and access. For example, work in busier areas like Digbeth or the city centre may be different from booking in more residential areas like Harborne, Moseley, or Sutton Coldfield.

Once you post your task, local Taskers can send you multiple quotes, making it easier to compare prices and choose an option that fits your budget. With upfront quotes, you can select the right professional and reduce the risk of unexpected costs.

What other related services can I book in Birmingham?

Electrical issues can sometimes point to wider problems with your vehicle’s technology or safety systems. If the fault isn’t immediately clear or the car won’t start, car diagnostics services can help pinpoint the issue. You may also want to book a mobile mechanic to check the brakes, suspension, or engine at the same time, which can save extra trips to the garage.

After electrical work, your car could use a fresh clean. Car cleaners can vacuum, wash, and polish your vehicle so it looks as good as it runs, especially if the job left dust or grease behind. If your key fob is still unreliable, you could book car key repair or replacement services to restore normal access and locking.
