When there is poor power contact, you can reconnect it. If the headlight has reached the end of its lifespan, timely replacement is sufficient. Below is a detailed analysis of specific situations: 1. Poor power contact: If the headlight suddenly stops working, you can walk to the front of the car and tap the cover of the non-working light. If the headlight momentarily turns on, it is certain that the socket contact is poor. In this case, simply unplug the headlight's power socket and plug it back in to resolve the issue. 2. Lifespan issue: If the bulb has reached the end of its lifespan, such as a failure in the low-beam bulb, you should not continue driving forcibly. Although you can drive using the high beam, it will cause significant inconvenience to oncoming vehicles. In this situation, you can apply adhesive tape to the upper part of the headlight cover, covering about one-third of it. Then, replace the headlight as soon as possible.

Should you shift to P or N when stopping at a red light with an automatic transmission?

When waiting at a red light with an automatic transmission, it is recommended to shift to N (Neutral) gear. If the wait is longer, you can also engage the handbrake. There is no problem with shifting to N gear for a short time while waiting at a red light, but leaving it in N gear for an extended period can damage the car, especially the transmission. Reasons not to shift to P (Park) gear while waiting at a red light: 1. Shifting to P gear without engaging the handbrake can cause damage to certain components; 2. The process of starting from P gear is cumbersome; 3. Frequently shifting to P gear can cause the automatic transmission gears to grind, damaging the transmission bearings. The correct procedure when waiting at a red light is: press the brake and shift to N gear, then when the light turns green, shift to D (Drive) gear to start driving.

What Causes Engine Vibration While Driving?

Reasons for feeling engine vibration while driving are as follows: 1. Engine mount aging or loosening: Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the frame. If they age or loosen, engine vibration becomes noticeably abnormal. 2. Engine misfire: This mainly refers to one or more cylinders not functioning properly, typically manifested as intermittent exhaust flow, severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and noticeable engine vibration, sometimes accompanied by a sputtering sound. 3. Carbon buildup: Excessive carbon deposits inside the engine can reduce ignition energy and intake efficiency, ultimately causing symptoms like engine vibration and weak acceleration. 4. Fuel system malfunction: Using incompatible fuel grades can decrease the car's power output and performance; or a clogged fuel tank vent, fuel tank switch, fuel filter, or fuel line between the tank and carburetor can restrict fuel supply, leading to a lean mixture and engine vibration. 5. Intake system malfunction: Long-term use without cleaning can clog the air filter, reducing air intake and causing an overly rich combustible mixture, which decreases engine power. 6. Cold start: During a cold start, the engine's lubrication is poor, the oil is less fluid and more viscous, leading to mechanical wear noises. The coolant temperature is low, the mixture is rich, and incomplete combustion can cause engine vibration.
