Beacons and compliance lighting

Starter and alternator faults

A clicking noise and no crank, or a battery light on the dash, usually point to the starter motor or alternator. Both can often be tested on the vehicle before deciding whether to repair or replace.

Air con on yard and fleet vehicles

Yard vehicles and trucks working on hot tarmac see high cabin temperatures. Air con systems need regular checks, and any work on the gas side must be done by someone licensed to handle refrigerant.

Archerfield auto electrical questions

Can an alternator be repaired instead of replaced?

Often, yes. Worn brushes, a faulty regulator or tired bearings can be replaced, which may cost less than a new unit. On some late-model vehicles, a replacement is the better option.

What does a clicking noise when I turn the key mean?

It usually means the starter motor isn’t getting enough power, either from a flat battery or a poor connection, or the starter solenoid is failing. A quick battery and voltage-drop test narrows it down.
