New-to-you car? There’s one area that’s easy to overlook: what’s been added to it over the years.
Aftermarket electrical accessories aren't necessarily a problem when they’ve been installed properly. But with an older or second-hand vehicle, you often don’t know who installed them or what changes have been made.
Have a look for additions such as:
🎵 Aftermarket stereos
📹 Dashcams
💡 Light bars and additional lighting
🚙 Trailer plugs and wiring
🔒 Alarms and immobilisers
🔌 USB outlets, chargers and other accessories
Untidy wiring, loose connections, incorrect fusing or old accessories can potentially create electrical headaches later.
If you've bought a vehicle with a few electrical “extras” and you're not sure what you're looking at, All Auto Electrical can check how everything has been wired. 📞 0508 227 772 | www.allauto.net.nz
