Bashi’s Auto Electrical are proud to be a part of both our industry and the community we are lucky enough to work in. Here you can find articles pertaining to both and we will be keeping it updated and new developments occur.
Planning a 4WD solar setup? Panel size, battery capacity, charging equipment and daily power use all affect the system you need.
Do you need electric brakes to tow a caravan? Brake requirements depend on trailer weight, braking type and the setup fitted to the tow vehicle.
Brake lights that stay on after releasing the pedal can drain the battery and may point to a switch, wiring or pedal contact problem.
If your trailer lights flicker on the road, the cause may be a loose connection, poor earth, damaged wiring or a faulty trailer plug.
Headlights dimmer than usual? The cause may be weak charging voltage, poor earths, damaged wiring or a problem with the battery or bulbs.
Windscreen washer pump not working? A blown fuse, faulty motor, damaged wiring or blocked fluid line could be preventing your washers from operating.
Reverse camera cutting in and out? Loose connections, damaged wiring, poor earths or an intermittent power supply may be causing the problem.
Corroded or damaged car wiring can cause intermittent faults, blown fuses, starting problems and unreliable electrical systems.
Car misfiring or running rough? Worn spark plugs, failing ignition coils or another ignition fault may be causing the problem.
If your car smells like burning plastic, the cause may be damaged wiring, a loose terminal, an overloaded circuit or a failing component.
A USB port that keeps blowing a fuse may have a damaged socket, wiring fault or circuit overload. Bashi’s Auto Electrical can diagnose the cause.
Trailer power cutting in and out while driving may come from plugs, wiring, earths or the tow vehicle. Bashi’s diagnoses trailer electrical faults.
In some situations, on-site auto electrical servicing makes more sense than moving the vehicle before the fault is checked.
When a car keeps blowing the same fuse, the cause is usually more than the fuse itself and needs proper diagnosis.
If your power windows only work sometimes, the issue may sit with the switch, wiring, motor, or regulator.
A properly sized 4WD power setup is built around real accessory use, battery support, and charging recovery.
Intermittent power problems in a 4WD setup can point to wiring faults, voltage drop, weak connections, or charging issues.
If your excavator will not start on site, the issue may sit with the battery, charging system, wiring, or another electrical fault.
Choosing alternator repair or replacement depends on the fault, the charging system, and the condition of the unit.
If your car central locking is not working, the fault may sit with the actuator, wiring, or control side of the system.
A car USB port not working can point to a blown fuse, wiring fault, worn socket, or another electrical issue.
An Anderson plug not working properly can point to wiring faults, poor connections, or charging setup issues.
If the same fuse keeps blowing in your car, the issue may sit with the wiring, circuit, or a faulty component.
Charging problems in a 4WD after accessory upgrades can point to wiring, battery, or charging setup issues.
Not every 4WD needs a dual battery system, but the right setup can make camping, touring, and accessory use more reliable.
If your battery light is flickering while driving, the cause may sit with the alternator, battery, belt, or wiring.
If your car keeps needing jump starts, the cause may be more than a flat battery. Repeated jump starts often point to deeper faults.
Car won’t start in your driveway? Many no-start issues are electrical and can be diagnosed without towing the vehicle.
If your car air conditioning turns warm at traffic lights but cools while driving, an electrical control fault may be affecting cooling.
ABS and stability control warning lights can be triggered by electrical faults like voltage instability, wiring issues, or sensor signal problems.
Electrical symptoms like slow starting, warning lights, and flickering headlights often signal deeper faults that need attention.
Extreme heat increases electrical resistance in cars, leading to voltage instability, battery stress, and intermittent faults during heatwaves.
Water exposure can cause hidden electrical faults in vehicles. Moisture leads to voltage drop, corrosion, and warning lights over time.
Buying a used car? Hidden electrical problems like voltage drop, wiring faults, and battery issues often appear after purchase.
Battery terminal corrosion can cause voltage loss, warning lights, and starting issues. Testing and inspection identify faults before failure.
Electric brakes cutting in and out often trace back to controller faults, plug wear, poor earths, or wiring issues that interrupt brake output.
Reverse camera glitches are often caused by voltage loss, bad earths, or signal interference rather than a faulty camera unit.
Parking sensors beeping constantly after new accessories were fitted? Electrical faults, poor grounds, or signal noise may be affecting the system.
Weak or delayed throttle response? Electrical testing pinpoints voltage drops, sensor issues, and wiring faults that affect acceleration.
Stop-start not working? Low battery charge, weak grounds, alternator variation, or sensor faults commonly disable the system.
Trailer fuses blowing when you plug in the van? Corroded 7-pin plugs, wrong pin maps, weak earths, and shorted looms are common causes.
Car overheating in traffic? Electrical cooling faults like fan relay or sensor failure may be to blame. Find out what causes it.
If your car battery keeps going flat after short trips, low alternator charge or hidden parasitic draw could be to blame.
Car air conditioning not working? Electrical faults such as fuses, relays, or wiring problems may be the real cause behind AC failure.
No warning lights but still having issues? Many car electrical faults go unnoticed. Expert testing reveals the hidden problems.
If your battery keeps going flat, accessories may be the cause. Dash cams, chargers, and stereos can drain power without you knowing.
Brake lights not working? It’s not always a bulb. From switches to wiring faults, see what causes failures and how experts fix them.
Car battery draining overnight? From faulty relays to wiring faults, we explain the causes and how professional testing solves the issue.
Airbag warning light on? Find out why it stays lit and how expert auto electricians restore your vehicle’s safety system.
Struggling with a car USB port not charging or connecting? We explain common causes, repair options, and how to keep your devices powered and synced.
If your 12V socket or cigarette lighter isn’t working, it may be a blown fuse, faulty relay, or wiring issue. Find out what causes these faults.
Not sure if your car has a battery or alternator problem? Compare the common signs, jump-start behaviour and charging system faults.
Battery fully charged but car won’t start? Issues like wiring faults, bad relays, or voltage drop could be to blame. Here’s what to check first.
Car using too much fuel? Electrical faults like bad sensors or misfiring coils could be the cause. Here’s what to check and when to get help.
Car heater or AC not working? Faulty resistors, actuators, or switches can cause airflow or temperature control problems in modern vehicles.
Headlight not working again? A fuse that keeps blowing often means there’s a short, a bad bulb, or water inside the light housing.
Cold mornings and no heat? Electrical faults like blown fuses or failed switches could be why your car heater isn’t working when you need it most.
Power steering problems can affect control and safety. Learn about the causes, repair options, and when to call for help with your vehicle’s steering.
Fault code extraction helps detect auto electrical issues early. Ideal for fleet vehicles and cars needing reliable diagnostic checks.
