Common auto electrical jobs in Runcorn
Runcorn is about 18 km from the city centre, with Beenleigh Road and Warrigal Road as its main links and much of the suburb bordered by Bulimba Creek. Runcorn station on the Beenleigh line has served the area since 1885.
Click, but no start
If you turn the key at Runcorn station after work and hear a single click, it could be the battery, the terminals or the starter motor. A battery that's low usually gives a rapid clicking or a slow crank. A single loud click with bright dash lights points more towards the starter or its wiring. Our guide on whether it's the starter motor or the battery helps you tell them apart.

Indicators flashing fast
When an indicator suddenly flashes twice as fast as normal, the car is telling you a globe has blown on that side. Check the front, rear and side repeater globes. If they're all working, a corroded globe holder or poor earth may be the cause. Fitting LED indicator globes can also cause fast flashing unless the right load resistors are fitted. Our guide on why indicators flash fast explains the fixes.

Blown fuses
When something electrical stops working, such as a power socket, wipers or the radio, a blown fuse is the first thing to check. The fuse box location and layout are in the owner's manual. Always replace a fuse with one of the same rating. If the new fuse blows again straight away, there's a short circuit that needs finding. Our guide on how to check and replace a fuse walks you through it.

Blower fan that won't work
If you can hear the air conditioning compressor working but no air comes out of the vents, the blower fan is the likely problem. The cause could be a blown fuse, a failed resistor, a faulty switch or a worn-out motor. A blower motor that has started squealing or rattling is often close to failing. These are electrical repairs. Refrigerant work is separate and needs a licensed technician.

Runcorn auto electrical questions
Why do my indicators flash fast after fitting LED globes?
LED globes draw much less current than standard globes, so the car's flasher thinks a globe has blown. The fix is either a load resistor wired across each LED globe, or an LED-compatible flasher relay if your car uses a separate one. Load resistors get hot, so mount them away from plastic and wiring.
Is it safe to put a higher-rated fuse in if the old one keeps blowing?
No. The fuse rating protects the wiring. A higher-rated fuse lets more current through than the wiring can handle, which can melt the insulation and start a fire. If a fuse keeps blowing, there's a fault such as a short circuit or a failing motor, and it needs to be found and fixed.
Local tip for Runcorn
Keep a small kit of spare blade fuses and a fuse puller in the glovebox. Most Runcorn drivers will never need it, but if the wipers stop in a storm on Beenleigh Road, a 50-cent fuse can get you home. Check the owner's manual now so you know where your fuse boxes are.
