Common auto electrical jobs in Howard
Howard is a highway town with farms and a river all around, and the auto electrical work reflects that.
Caravans and highway travellers
The Bruce Highway runs along the edge of town, and caravans, campers and trucks pass every day. Common jobs include a van battery that isn't charging while driving, a dead fridge and trailer lights that have failed. Many modern tow vehicles need a DC-DC charger to charge a van's battery properly.

Boat trailers on the Burrum River
Howard has a council boat ramp on the Burrum River, and plenty of locals tow boats to the river or out to Burrum Heads. Every launch puts the trailer lights under water. Sealed LED lights and a good plug last far longer than standard globes.

Farm and bush block vehicles
Around Howard there are farms and bush blocks, so utes and tractors spend a lot of time on dirt tracks. Dust and vibration loosen connectors and earths, and good work lights make early starts safer. Wire extra lights and accessories to a fused circuit so they don't drain the battery.
