Common auto electrical jobs in Hemmant

Hemmant mixes trade businesses on Lytton Road with quiet streets, semi-rural blocks and easy access to the bay. That gives it a broad mix of auto electrical work. Here are the jobs that keep local auto electricians busy.

Trade and port vehicles

Utes, vans and trucks working the port and the Trade Coast make up a big share of Hemmant’s work. Expect charging faults, work lights, beacons and trailer wiring. Read more about ute and fleet fit-outs.

Boats and the bay

With the bay a few minutes away, boat trailers are common. Old globe-type trailer lights need constant attention, and fully sealed, submersible LED lamps such as the Hella submersible LED rear combination lamp end most of it. Our Moreton Bay boat trailer guide covers the rest.

Semi-rural blocks, 4WDs and trailers

Acreage-style blocks mean 4WDs, tow vehicles, horse floats and farm trailers. Brake controllers, trailer sockets and dual batteries are common jobs. The pin chart is in our trailer plug wiring guide.

Car air conditioning

Bayside salt air and Brisbane summers are hard on air con. Have the system leak-tested first, or the new gas may not last. Check your auto electrician holds an ARC licence before any refrigerant work.

Corrosion near the water

Salty air from the bay and the river corrodes battery terminals, earths and connectors. If your car has faults that come and go, corrosion is a likely cause.

Batteries and starting

Heat, short local trips and accessories like fridges and radios all shorten battery life. A battery and charging test takes minutes and avoids a no-start.

Dual batteries for fishing and camping

A second battery for a fridge, sounder or lights is a popular upgrade for locals who fish the bay or camp on the islands. Our dual battery guide explains the options.

Hemmant auto electrical questions

Do I need a brake controller for my trailer?

If the trailer has electric brakes, yes. Queensland rules set braking requirements by trailer weight, so check your trailer’s rating. An auto electrician can fit and set up a controller to suit.

Why do my boat trailer lights keep failing?

Water gets into old globe-type lights and their plugs every time the trailer goes in. Sealed, submersible LED lamps and a good earth fix most problems.
