Common auto electrical jobs in Alexandra Hills
Alexandra Hills grew from the 1970s onwards, with schools opening through the 1970s, 80s and 90s, and a TAFE campus in the suburb. Around 16,500 people live here, between Capalaba and Cleveland. The Scribbly Gums Conservation Area and creek corridors run through it, and Redland Hospital is nearby.
First cars and older family sedans
With a high school and a TAFE campus in the suburb, plenty of Alexandra Hills drivers are on their first car, often an older sedan or hatch. Older cars bring older electrics: tired batteries, worn alternator brushes and corroded earths. Before spending money, a few simple tests can show what's really wrong. Our guide on how to use a multimeter on a car is a good start for new drivers.

Windows and locks on older cars
Electric windows that stick and door locks that only work sometimes are classic faults on older family cars. The wiring that runs through the door hinge flexes every time the door opens, and after years it can crack. Window regulators wear out too. Our guide on electric windows that stop working helps you work out whether it's the switch, motor, regulator or wiring.

Globes and roadworthy checks
A blown brake light or indicator globe is an easy fix, and an important one if you're selling an older car and need a safety certificate. Most tail light globes can be changed from inside the boot with no tools. Our guide on how to replace a brake light globe walks through it. Check every light with someone watching from behind.

Bushland neighbours and chewed wiring
Homes backing onto the Scribbly Gums Conservation Area and the creek corridors are close to wildlife, and rats sometimes move into engine bays. They chew wiring insulation, which can cause warning lights, no-starts and short circuits. If you find nesting material or droppings under the bonnet, have the wiring checked. Our guide on rodent damage to car wiring explains the warning signs.

Alexandra Hills auto electrical questions
What should I check before buying an older first car?
Check that every light works, including brake lights, indicators and the number plate light. Make sure the windows, locks and air conditioning work, and that the car starts easily from cold. Look for battery warning lights while driving. A basic battery and charging test is worth paying for, as electrical faults can cost more to fix than the car is worth.
Why does my window only go down and not up?
Often the switch is worn, or the window motor is struggling against a stiff or damaged regulator. Lifting the glass needs more effort than lowering it, so a weak motor or tight runner shows up on the way up first. Clean and lubricate the window runners, then test the switch and motor. A broken wire in the door hinge can cause it too.
Local tip for Alexandra Hills
If you're a P-plater in Alexandra Hills, buy a cheap multimeter and learn to check your battery voltage. A reading of about 12.6V with the engine off and around 13.8V to 14.5V with it running tells you the battery and alternator are doing their job. Knowing those two numbers can save you from a breakdown on the way to school or work.
