What do auto electricians do?

Warning lights on your dash or flickering headlights may indicate an electrical issue, or perhaps your car just won’t start. Fortunately, many auto-electricians offer a mobile service to ensure you’re not left stranded on the side of the road if something unexpected happens. 

Here are some common issues that your auto electrician can help with:

Engine electrics and brakes

It’s important to act on any warning lights on your dash, especially your anti-lock braking system (ABS) to fix any issues before they become unsafe. Firstly, your auto electrician will use a diagnostics machine to review the health of your battery, alternator, and starter motor. 

  • A flat battery can be the cause of many electrical issues but fortunately, they’re easily replaced. However, if your battery isn’t holding charge, your auto electrician will consider whether the alternator (which charges the battery when the car is running) is working.

The starter motor may be the problem if your car won’t start, and this can either be repaired or replaced. An auto electrician can complete checks on fuel pumps and your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system to repair or improve your car’s engine. 

Auto electricals

Having trouble with auto electrics such as central locking, cruise control, windscreen wipers, power windows and mirrors? Your local auto electrician will check for blown fuses or short circuits to isolate and fix the problem.

Lighting systems

Functioning lighting systems are required for safety and legal reasons, so it’s important to have any issues fixed quickly. Lighting issues are often associated with the battery and alternator. 

Car security systems

Keep your vehicle safe and secure with a car alarm and immobiliser installed by a qualified auto sparky. An alarm acts as a deterrent to car thieves and an immobiliser ensures the engine won’t start if entry is gained to the vehicle. Plus, installing a dash cam and reversing camera is another smart safety and security measure.

Emergency roadside assistance

If you find yourself stranded with a car that won’t start, a mobile auto electrician near you can help you get back on the road sooner. Their vehicle is fully-equipped with the necessary tools to diagnose the problem, so they can repair many issues on the spot. For any complex problems, you’ll need to arrange a tow truck to take your car to a safe location for further work.

Auto Electrical - Fix electrical issues (2010 Mitsubishi Triton)

$300

Pacific Pines QLD 4211, Australia

6th Apr 2025

I require a mobile mechanic to come to Pacific Pines to sought out a few electrical items for me. 1. Troubleshoot and solve issue where steering wheel controls (left side) not communicating with new Pioneer head unit. Head unit has been professionally installed with correct looms and connected to steering wheel, however, steering wheel controls are not functioning. 2. I have new steering wheel buttons that I would like to replace old ones (both audio and cruise control - left and right side). May even solved problem 1? I also have a clock spring to go in just in case that may also be part if the issue - however, there are no error lights showing. 3. I have fitted reverse lights - would like them to be connected and working. I have a switch for the dash to connect to. There is previous wiring to the lights, but might be damaged? 3. If we have time - assess both driver and passenger windows only go half way down, but when wet, they go all the way down. Could be worn motors or something inside the door? Please let me know availability and rough estimate.
