Common auto electrical jobs in Wellington Point

Wellington Point is a coastal suburb about 25 km east of the Brisbane CBD, with Moreton Bay on its northern side. It has about 12,700 residents, a station on the Cleveland line, boat ramps on Main Road and Bligh Street, and Wellington Point Reserve at the tip of the headland. At low tide, people walk the sandbar out to King Island.

Ramps on Main Road and Bligh Street

With two boat ramps in the suburb, Wellington Point has plenty of boat trailers parked in driveways. Every trip down the ramp puts trailer lights and plugs into salt water. Sealed LED lights, a waterproof loom and a fresh-water rinse afterwards add years to their life. Our guide to 7-pin and 12-pin trailer plugs helps if you're replacing a corroded plug.

Living by the bay

Cars parked near the water in Wellington Point slowly collect salt, and it works into battery terminals and connectors. Corrosion causes slow cranking, dim lights and odd electrical faults that come and go. A gentle clean of the terminals and a protective spray every few months helps. If your car shows strange faults after wet weather, look for corroded connectors first.

Globes inside and out

A dead interior light or a blown number plate globe is a small fault but an annoying one, and some are a defect if police notice them. Most interior and exterior globes can be replaced at home with simple tools. Our guide on how to replace an interior light globe walks through it. LED replacements last longer and draw less power.

Fuses and accessories

When a phone charger socket, radio or accessory suddenly stops working, a blown fuse is often the cause. Finding the right fuse and replacing it with the correct rating is an easy job. If it blows again straight away, there's a fault in the circuit that needs fixing. Our guide on how to check and replace a fuse explains how to find it.

Wellington Point auto electrical questions

My car's charger socket stopped working. What should I check?

Check the fuse for that socket first; your owner's manual shows which one it is. Coins, debris or a faulty charger plugged into the socket often blow the fuse. Replace it with one of the same rating. If the new fuse blows straight away, there may be a short in the socket or wiring, which needs to be traced before fitting another fuse.

Should I switch my trailer lights to LED?

For boat trailers, yes in most cases. Sealed LED lights handle being dunked in salt water far better than globe-type lights, and they draw less current. On some cars, LED trailer lights can cause fast indicator flashing because the car thinks a globe is blown, which can be fixed with a load resistor or a compatible flasher.

Local tip for Wellington Point

After a day at the ramp or parked down by Wellington Point Reserve, give the car and trailer a quick fresh-water rinse at home, paying attention to the wheel arches, the trailer plug and the underside of the bonnet. Salt left to dry overnight is what starts the corrosion that turns into flickering lights and slow starts a few months later.
