Common auto electrical jobs in Ashgrove
Ashgrove is an established suburb in Brisbane's inner west, known for its Ashgrovian houses, a style of Queenslander with a pyramid roof and verandahs. Waterworks Road is the main route through, Enoggera Creek and Ithaca Creek have bike paths, and several large schools are in the suburb.
School runs and short trips
Ashgrove has several big schools, and many families do the same short drive twice a day. Short trips with the air conditioning, lights and screens on don't give the alternator time to recharge the battery. Over a term, the battery slowly runs down until the car struggles to start. Our guide on how to charge a car battery shows how to top it up at home.

Bike carriers and lights
With bike paths along Enoggera and Ithaca creeks, plenty of Ashgrove cars carry a bike rack on the towbar. If the rack covers the number plate or tail lights, it must have its own lights and plate, wired to the towbar socket. Faulty socket wiring, corroded pins or a missing earth are the usual reasons the rack's lights don't work. Our guide on whether you need a towbar wiring harness explains the options.

Electric windows and doors
Family cars get a lot of door opening and closing, and the wiring that runs through the door hinges eventually cracks. Windows that stop working, central locking that fails on one door or a speaker that cuts out can all come from a broken wire in the door loom. Repairing the break properly with crimped joins and heat shrink fixes it for good.

Interior and courtesy lights
Kids leaving the interior light on is one of the most common reasons for a flat battery on a school morning. Old incandescent interior globes also get hot and can melt their covers. Swapping them for LEDs draws less power and runs cooler. Our guide on replacing an interior light globe shows how, and it's a simple job on most cars.

Ashgrove auto electrical questions
Does my bike rack need its own number plate?
In Queensland, if a bike rack hides your number plate, you need to display a plate on the rack. Your lights must also be visible, so most racks that block the tail lights need a light board wired to the towbar socket. Check the Queensland Government's rules for bike racks before you fit one, as the requirements are specific.
Why is my battery flat after school holidays?
When a car sits for a couple of weeks, the alarm, computers and any accessories slowly drain the battery. If the battery is a few years old, it may not have enough reserve to survive the break. A battery maintainer or a weekly drive during the holidays keeps it ready for the first school run of term.
Local tip for Ashgrove
If you run the school drop-off from Ashgrove, give the car a longer drive at least once a week, such as a run out along Waterworks Road towards The Gap and back. It helps the battery recover from all those short trips. Check the interior lights are off before you lock up at night, especially after the kids have been in the back.
