How to Find Rescue When Your Car Breaks Down?

[DeJade]

Methods to Contact Rescue Services: 1. Seek help from passing vehicles: Use another vehicle to jump-start your car, but pay attention to the correct wiring method—connect positive to positive and negative to negative. 2. Contact your car insurance provider for rescue services: Alternatively, 4S shops also offer rescue services. 3. Dial 122: You can also call the national unified car road rescue number or the traffic police service number 122 to wait for rescue. Analysis of Car Battery Failure: 1. Insufficient battery electrolyte: During use, the car battery's electrolyte naturally evaporates and depletes. The electrolyte level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. Insufficient electrolyte naturally leads to inadequate battery charge. 2. Corrosion of battery terminals: Poor contact due to corrosion on car battery terminals can cause the battery to lose power. After removing these white crystals, apply conductive paste to the terminals, which not only enhances conductivity but also protects the terminals. 3. Blown fuse causing battery discharge: A blown generator fuse can prevent the car battery from charging, indicated by the generator fault light turning on. The solution is to locate the blown fuse and replace it with one of the appropriate current rating. 4. Battery reaching end of life: Most private cars use maintenance-free batteries. Clean the battery's inspection window and observe the color inside—green indicates normal battery status; black indicates low voltage and insufficient charge, which can be resolved by charging; white indicates the battery has reached the end of its life, and the only solution is to replace it. 5. Long-term parking leading to battery discharge: Even when the car is idle, the battery discharges due to its inherent characteristics. Additionally, alarm systems consume more power when triggered. High-end cars equipped with intelligent remote anti-theft systems using GPS technology connected to the battery are more prone to complete battery depletion. 6. Engine damage: A loose or broken generator belt can prevent the generator from functioning. The generator also contains a rectifier, where a sudden high current can burn out the diodes. Worn-out carbon brushes and slip rings can lead to poor contact. Issues with the stator coil, such as short circuits or breaks, can also stop the generator from working. Furthermore, broken generator wiring or loose connections can cause the car battery to discharge without charging.
