Common auto electrical jobs in Victory Heights
Victory Heights was opened in 1947 on land once used to house servicemen from the RAAF base, and it is split into two residential areas by the bushland along Gribble Creek. Its settled, mixed population gives it a steady, everyday mix of work.
Cars that are not driven much
Retirees in Victory Heights often drive only a few times a week, and short trips to the shops in Boulder or Kalgoorlie do not give a battery much charge. Over a hot summer, a lightly used car can drift into a flat battery without warning. A smart battery maintainer plugged in once a week keeps it healthy. Our guide on why a car battery keeps going flat covers other causes to rule out.

Air conditioning that blows warm
In a Kalgoorlie summer, a car air conditioner that blows warm is more than a nuisance, especially for older drivers. Many faults are electrical: a failed condenser fan, a clutch that will not engage, a blown fuse or a faulty pressure switch. These can be tested and repaired by an auto electrician, while any refrigerant work must be done by a licensed technician. See common car air conditioning problems for the usual signs.

Windows and central locking
Older family cars in Victory Heights often develop window and locking faults as they age. A window that goes down but will not come back up is a worry if rain or dust is on the way. The fault is usually the switch, the motor or a broken wire in the door hinge. Door lock actuators also wear out one by one. Our guide on electric windows that stop working helps narrow it down.

Caravan checks before a trip
Retirement often means caravan travel, and Victory Heights has its share of vans ready for trips across the Nullarbor or up the west coast. Before a big trip, check the lights, electric brakes, breakaway system, house battery and charging from the tow vehicle. Most problems found in the driveway are easy to fix. Problems found 500 km east of Norseman are much harder.

Victory Heights auto electrical questions
I only drive once or twice a week. Do I need a battery maintainer?
It is a good idea, especially in summer. Short, infrequent trips do not replace the charge used to start the car, and modern cars draw a small current even when switched off. A smart maintainer plugged in overnight once a week keeps the battery healthy. It is a simple, low-cost way to avoid a flat battery when you need the car.
My air conditioning only blows cold on the highway. What's wrong?
That usually points to the condenser fan. At highway speed, air flows through the condenser on its own, but in town the fan has to do the work. If the fan, its relay or its fuse has failed, the air goes warm at low speed. An auto electrician can test the fan circuit, and a licensed technician can check the refrigerant if needed.
Local tip for Victory Heights
Victory Heights backs onto the bushland along Gribble Creek, and cars parked near it can attract rodents looking for shelter and nesting material. If a car is left unused for a few weeks, open the bonnet now and then and check for droppings, nests or chewed insulation. Catching it early saves a bigger wiring repair later.
