A practical guide to common accessory and audio problems, recommended inspection timing and simple checks you can make safely.
| Service item | What we inspect | When to check | Safe check before booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01Wiring & connections | Inspect wiring condition, grounding points and fuse protection. | After installation or during routine servicing. | Look for visible loose cables, unusual heat or burning smells. Do not remove panels. |
| 02Audio system | Test the head unit, speakers, amplifier and sound quality. | Annually or whenever the sound changes. | Try another audio source and note which speaker crackles, cuts out or sounds distorted. |
| 03Electrical accessories | Check dash cams, reversing cameras and other powered accessories. | Every 6–12 months or when faults appear. | Restart the accessory and check whether its screen or indicator light responds. |
| 04Battery drain | Identify accessories drawing power while the vehicle is switched off. | Whenever the battery repeatedly goes flat. | Unplug removable accessories overnight and note whether the battery problem continues. |
| 05Mountings & cables | Inspect accessible cables, fittings and accessory mounting points. | During routine servicing or after accessories become loose. | While parked, check whether visible mounts move or cables appear pinched. |
| 06Electrical diagnosis | Trace interference, recurring faults and electrical warning signs. | As soon as unusual electrical behaviour starts. | Record when the fault happens, which accessories were operating and any dashboard warnings. |
Only perform visual checks while your vehicle is parked and switched off. Stop using equipment that smells burnt, becomes hot or repeatedly blows a fuse.
