Common auto electrical jobs in Carina
Carina is about 7 km east of the city centre, bordered by Carindale, Carina Heights, Cannon Hill and Camp Hill. Trams once ran along Old Cleveland Road to Carina, and today the suburb's main roads are some of the busiest in the area.
Dashcams on Old Cleveland Road
Old Cleveland Road has bicycle lanes in places and is popular with groups of cyclists early on weekend mornings. Sharing the road with cyclists, buses and heavy traffic makes a dashcam worthwhile. Footage can settle disputes quickly. Choose a camera with a wide field of view, and fit a rear camera too. Run the cables neatly behind trim so nothing hangs across the windscreen.

Brake lights and indicators
In stop-start traffic on Creek Road and Stanley Road, working brake lights and indicators are essential. A blown brake light is easy to miss from the driver's seat. Check them regularly by reversing up to a wall or asking someone to look. Our guide on how to replace a brake light globe shows how, and most are a five-minute job.

Short trips in an established suburb
Carina's shops, schools and bus routes are close together, so many cars here only make short trips. A battery in a car that rarely drives far won't get a full charge, and older batteries struggle most in summer heat. If your car sits for days at a time, a smart charger keeps the battery healthy. Our guide on how to charge a car battery explains the options.

A burning smell from the dash
A burning plastic smell or a wisp of smoke from under the dash usually means a wire or connector is overheating. Common causes are poorly fitted accessories, a failing blower resistor or a short circuit. Pull over, switch the engine off and disconnect the battery if you can do it safely. Our guide on burning smell or smoke from car wiring explains what to do next.

Carina auto electrical questions
How can I check my own brake lights?
Reverse up close to a wall, garage door or shop window at night, press the brake pedal and look in your mirror for the red glow. During the day, ask someone to stand behind the car. Check both sides and the high-mounted third brake light. If one is out, it's usually just a globe.
Is a burning smell from the car always electrical?
No. It can be oil on the exhaust, a slipping clutch or brakes working hard. But a sharp burning plastic smell, especially from inside the cabin, often points to an electrical fault. Treat it seriously: stop, switch off, and don't keep driving until the cause has been found.
Local tip for Carina
If you've added accessories to your car over the years, such as a dashcam, extra USB sockets or a stereo, check how they were wired. Look for wires twisted together, missing fuses or cables pinched under trim. Poor accessory wiring is a common cause of burning smells and flat batteries, and it's easy to fix before it causes trouble.
