The South Kalgoorlie area takes in South Kalgoorlie, Somerville and Broadwood, between the town centre and the airport. It mixes family homes, two high schools, the racecourse, horse stables and an industrial strip, so the work ranges from school run cars and horse floats to airport and fleet vehicles.

Suburbs in South Kalgoorlie
South Kalgoorlie is mostly residential, with the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Racecourse, Kalgoorlie-Boulder Community High School and John Paul College. Somerville, known locally as O'Connor, is where the Great Eastern Highway runs into town past homes, schools, shops, light industry and horse stables. Broadwood has a small residential area, an industrial area next to West Kalgoorlie, large areas of bushland and the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport. That spread means some streets are all school runs and others are airport traffic, trucks and horse floats.

Common auto electrical jobs in South Kalgoorlie
Horses, schools and the airport each bring their own kind of work to this part of Kalgoorlie. These are the jobs that come up most.
Horse floats and stock trailers
With the racecourse in South Kalgoorlie and horse stables in Somerville, horse floats are a familiar sight. A float with failed brake or indicator lights is a real risk with a live animal on board, and electric brakes need a working controller and breakaway battery. Dust and urine are both hard on float wiring. Check the plug, the earth and every light before each trip. Our guide on why trailer lights stop working covers the common faults.

Cars left at the airport
Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport in Broadwood has flights to Perth and Melbourne, and many people leave a car there while they are away for work or holidays. A week or two in the heat, with a dashcam, alarm or tracker drawing power, can be enough to flatten an older battery. Have the battery tested before a long trip, and switch parking mode off on the dashcam if it has no low-voltage cut-off.

Air conditioning on the school run
Two high schools in South Kalgoorlie, plus primary schools across the area, mean plenty of short school runs in the heat. The air conditioning works hardest at low speed with a hot cabin, which is where cooling fans, blower resistors and relays fail. A system that cools on the highway but not around town usually has a fan fault. Fans and relays are electrical jobs, and any refrigerant work needs a licensed technician.
