Expert Auto Electrician Needed
Hi All
I'm looking for a reference to an expert Auto Electrician that can sort out an electrical issue on my 2.4 1997 DC 4x4? I'm in Pretoria area.
I'm very fussy and perfectionistic... looking for somebody that takes pride in his work and can do a good job.
Thanks

Re: Expert Auto Electrician Needed
The SFA is not too advanced in this department which is why they're so sought after. If you can't get advice here to sort it out yourself you won't get it anywhere.

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

Hoekom wat is die probleem? Dan werk hy dan werk hy nie, dan werk hy .......Thabogrobler wrote:Also need a reliable, decend priced Auto'leccie to sort out my Isooz indicator issue.
Does the Isooz have an indicator problem or between the number plates problem?

Altwee die voorste flikker werk nie, globes vervang, fuses gecheck, als lyk ok. Bietjie gekyk na die drade, maar dit maak my deurmekaar.
Ook interresant op die lorrie, as jy die rem trap, kom die parkeer ligte aan? Go figure!

Thabo, open the lenses and remove the bulbs. Spray liberally with contact cleaner. Replace bulbs and lenses, and enjoy your indicators! :)

Contact cleaner? At an electric retailer, eg Keens?

Re: Expert Auto Electrician Needed
Keens should have something, or any other electrical store. The best stuff leaves no residue and is really potent. I think if one sniffs enough of that stuff, you will go on a high and probably want to buy a Prado or something, so be careful.
Servisol comes to minds, but Keens sells other stuff as well, I think it might be a product made by CRC.

OK, my Hilux is nie regtig meer 2.4 nie... het 'n 3.4 Land Cruiser Prado petrol motor met automatiese ratkas in - watte plesier. Ek het die bakkie so 2 maande terug in die Kaap gaan haal. Julle het hom seker gesien, hy was geadverteer op gumtree - rooie.
Anyway, die probleem is as volg:
Die bakkie het spots op wat werk saam met die brights skakelaar op die hoofligte. Dws, sit die ligte op brights, dan gaan die spots aan. Naby die battery is 'n inline fuse wat werk op die hoofligte (spots ingesluit). As ek die spots ontkoppel en die hoofligte op brights sit, dans is als ok. Sodra ek die spots ook opkoppel, dan begin die inline fuse oorverhit. Die hele fuse holder begin te smelt na so 30-60min. Ek het gister 'n nuwe fuse holder opgesit - gewonner of dit nie sou help nie, maar tevergeefs.
Wat is die probleem? Is die drade te dun? As ek die draad met 'n feuler gauge meet is dit so +-1.5mm dik. Ek sal seker eventually die bedrading moet oopmaak en kyk wat daar aangaan... Self doen is die beste, maar my tyd is net so beperk...

Re: Expert Auto Electrician Needed
Wat sesize fuse het jy daar in die fuse holder ?
Die fuse is veronderstel om die bedrading te beskerm. As die fuse holder smelt, se dit vir my jou fuse is te groot en die draad word warm. Kan ook wees dat jou draad erens stukkend is en aan die chassis raak en omdat die fuse te groot is, blaas hy nie maar die drade en holder word warm.
Ek sal die bedrading oordoen as volg.
1 - Installer 'n 12v relay in engine bay met 'n fuse wat gerate is klein bietjie laer as die rating op die kontakte van die relay. Sit die relay so na as moontlik aan die spotlights ( jy wil he jou drade na die spots moet so kort as moontlik wees om verliese in voltdrop te oorkom. Sit die fuse so na as moontlik aan battery.
2- Gebruik 2.5mm sq draad om na spots te wire vanaf relay kontakte.
3-Vind die draad wat na jou brights globes toe gaan voor in engine bay en konnekteer hom so dat hy ook die relay se coil intrek. Jou spots sal nou ook aankom as jy jou brights aansit.
4-As jy wil kan jy 'n skakelaar op die dask mount en hom ook in serie met die draad na die relay se coil vat dan kan jy jou spots aan en afsit as jou brights ook aan is.
Hoop dit help

Re: Expert Auto Electrician Needed
Man ja ligte trek lekker stoom as jou fuse holder een van daai wit toeclip tipe is soos agter kar radios wat die glas fuses of bullit fuses vat kan dit gebeur. 'n decent blade fuse holder wat so 30A rating het is wat hier nodig is, as hy smelt het jy 'n current leak of snaakse bedrading.

Re: Expert Auto Electrician Needed
Dankie vir al die advies. Sodra ek tyd het sal ek die bedrading maar begin oopkrap en kyk wat daar aangaan. Het vir tyd en wyl die spots onkoppel.
Ander vragie. Waar is die beste plek body parts vir die Hilux te kry? Goed soos flikker ligte, gril voor, venders, deure, bonnet? Kry mens hierdie tipe items nog nuut te koop?
