Common auto electrical jobs in Talegalla Weir

Talegalla Weir is a rural locality of about 127 people east of Tiaro, named after the weir on Tinana Creek. Many homes sit on bush blocks with dams and sheds, so vehicles do a fair bit more than the town run.

Fire pumps and slip-on units

On a timbered block, a slip-on fire unit or a pump on a trailer can be part of your bushfire plan. Many have electric start or 12V pumps, and they need a battery that's actually charged when the day comes. Wire them with heavy cable, a fuse near the battery and an Anderson plug so you can connect quickly. Test-run the setup at the start of each fire season. Our guide on choosing the right cable size helps get it right.

Reversing cameras for long driveways

Long bush driveways mean plenty of reversing, often with a trailer, past trees, gates and water tanks. A reversing camera makes that safer and easier. For a trailer, a wireless camera mounted on the rear can show what's behind it. For the vehicle itself, a wired camera gives a more reliable picture. Run cables carefully through grommets to keep dust and water out, and fuse the power supply.

Inverters for when the power goes out

When storms bring the power down on rural blocks, an inverter in the ute can keep a phone, laptop or small appliance running for a while. Size the inverter for the loads you actually plan to run, mount it close to the battery with short, heavy cable and a fuse, and run the engine to keep the battery up. Inverters are for portable devices only, never for connecting to house wiring. Our guide on choosing and installing an inverter explains more.

After you hit a kangaroo

Bush roads at dawn and dusk mean wildlife, and even a small hit can do electrical damage that isn't obvious at first. Headlights and indicators can crack or lose their earth, radiator fans can be pushed out of place, and parking sensors or plugs behind the bumper can be torn loose. Check all your lights and warning lamps after any strike, and look under the front for hanging wires before you drive on.

Talegalla Weir auto electrical questions

Can I run my house from an inverter in my car during a blackout?

No. Connecting an inverter to house wiring is dangerous and illegal unless a licensed electrician has installed the correct changeover equipment. A vehicle inverter is only for plugging in portable appliances directly. Keep the loads small, run the engine so the battery doesn't go flat, and keep the vehicle outside in a well-ventilated spot.

Is a wireless reversing camera good enough for a trailer?

For many people it is. Wireless cameras are easy to move between trailers and avoid running a cable through the plug. The trade-off is that the picture can drop out or lag, especially over long distances or with interference. If you tow the same trailer often, a wired camera through a dedicated plug gives a more reliable view.
