Common auto electrical jobs in Quorn
Quorn was surveyed in 1878 as a railway town, and today it is the terminus of the Pichi Richi Railway. Its location where Flinders Ranges Way meets the Horrocks Highway makes it a natural stop for travellers heading north.
Caravan checks on the way north
Quorn is a common overnight stop before heading up to Hawker and Wilpena Pound. Travellers often find a light out, a plug damaged or the van battery not charging after the first leg. Check that the trailer plug pins are clean and the cable isn't dragging. If the van battery isn't charging, test for voltage at the van with the engine running. Our guide on wiring a 7-pin trailer plug can help.

Older and heritage vehicles
A historic town like Quorn attracts older vehicles, from classic cars to well-kept farm utes. Older wiring often suffers from brittle insulation, corroded connectors and earth straps that have seen better days. Simple upgrades like a relay for the headlights, fresh earth straps and a fuse box check make older cars safer and more reliable without changing their character. Many older cars also benefit from an extra earth strap between the engine and the body.

Driving lights for country roads
The roads out of Quorn, through Pichi Richi Pass toward Port Augusta and north to Hawker, are unlit and wildlife is common, particularly around dawn and dusk. LED driving lights help a lot. Wire them through a relay, take power from the battery through a fuse, and aim them carefully. Check your headlights are working well first. Our guide on changing a headlight globe shows how.

Battery testing before touring
Long distances between towns mean a flat battery can turn into a long wait. If your battery is more than a few years old or has been slow to start, have it tested before heading further north. Carry jumper leads or a jump starter. Our guide on jump-starting a car safely explains the right way to do it. If you're running a fridge, make sure it's on a separate battery so it can't flatten the one you need to start the car.

Quorn auto electrical questions
How far is Quorn from Port Augusta and which road do I take?
Quorn is about 39 km north-east of Port Augusta. Flinders Ranges Way leaves the Augusta Highway at Stirling North and runs through to Quorn, where it becomes Railway Terrace. The Horrocks Highway also links Quorn south to Wilmington and Melrose.
Should I worry about a battery warning light on the way to Quorn?
Yes. A battery light while driving usually means the alternator isn't charging, and the car is running only on the battery. You may have a limited time before the car stops. Turn off unnecessary loads like aircon and the radio, and get it checked as soon as possible. Our guide on the battery warning light explains what's happening.
Local tip for Quorn
If you're heading north from Quorn toward Hawker and the ranges, fill up and check your vehicle here. Look at the battery terminals, test the van lights and make sure the fridge is running from the auxiliary battery, not the starting battery. A ten-minute check in town saves a lot of trouble on a remote road.
