Common auto electrical jobs in South Kalgoorlie
South Kalgoorlie stretches from Boundary Street on the edge of the town centre to the racecourse and schools further south. That brings a mix of horse people, school families and teenage drivers.
Floats for race day
The Kalgoorlie-Boulder Racecourse is in South Kalgoorlie, and the Sport of Kings subdivision on Maxwell Street was built in the mid-1990s on spare racecourse land. Horse people live close by, and their floats need reliable lights and brakes. A float that sits for weeks between outings often has a corroded plug or a flat breakaway battery. Our guide on how to install an electric brake controller explains how the tow vehicle side should be set up.

First cars for students
With Kalgoorlie-Boulder Community High School and John Paul College in the suburb, plenty of teenagers are driving their first car to school. First cars are usually older and have the faults that come with age: tired batteries, worn alternators, failed globes and dodgy aftermarket wiring. A quick electrical check when buying a used car can save money. Our guide on how to test a car battery is a good place to start.

Aftermarket audio wiring
Young drivers in South Kalgoorlie often add amplifiers, subwoofers and new head units. Poorly installed audio is one of the most common causes of flat batteries and even wiring fires. An amplifier needs a fused power cable sized for its current, a solid earth and a remote turn-on wire so it switches off with the car. Power cable should never run unprotected through the firewall or under seats where it can chafe.

Brake light and indicator globes
A blown brake light or indicator globe is an easy fix, but it can earn a fine or cause a rear-end crash. Older cars around South Kalgoorlie often have globes that have been rattling in their sockets for years. If an indicator flashes fast, a globe on that side has usually failed. Our guide on how to replace a brake light globe shows how on most cars.

South Kalgoorlie auto electrical questions
What should I check on a used first car before buying it?
Check that the car starts easily from cold, that every light works and that the battery light goes out once the engine runs. Look for messy aftermarket wiring under the dash or in the boot, and for warning lights that stay on. An auto electrician can do a battery and charging test for peace of mind before you hand over the money.
Does my horse float need electric brakes?
In Australia, trailers over 750 kg loaded need brakes, and heavier trailers have further rules, including breakaway systems above 2,000 kg. Most loaded two-horse floats are well over 750 kg, so brakes are normally required. Check your float's rated mass and the WA rules, and make sure the tow vehicle has a suitable brake controller fitted.
Local tip for South Kalgoorlie
If your float or trailer lives in a paddock or under a tree in South Kalgoorlie, cover the plug or keep it in a holder on the drawbar. Dust and rain combine to form a paste inside open plugs that corrodes the pins. A cheap plug cover and a squirt of contact cleaner before each trip prevent most lighting faults.
