Fork looseness or severe wear and even deformation. The screws securing the fork are loose, resulting in incomplete gear engagement. Wear on the positioning groove and positioning pin. The surface becomes irregularly stepped, sometimes jamming during gear changes, preventing the positioning pin from sliding out of the groove. Deformation of the shift shaft, making it difficult for the sliding gear to move. In this case, the shift shaft should be repaired or replaced. Incomplete clutch disengagement, or even slipping, causing the gears inside the transmission to continue rotating during gear changes, making shifting difficult. In this case, the clutch should be adjusted.

Can the Vehicle Still Operate Normally When the Positive and Negative Terminal Lights Are On?

When the positive and negative terminal lights of the vehicle are illuminated, it indicates a malfunction in the car's charging system, and the vehicle should not be driven. The possible causes of this issue are as follows: 1. Generator Belt: If the generator belt is aged, carbonized on the surface, or has insufficient tension, it may slip and produce abnormal noises, causing the generator to lose rotation and trigger the warning light. 2. Damaged Generator Bearing: A damaged generator bearing can lead to idling, and the rotor and stator of the generator may come into contact, causing friction and overheating. In such cases, the bearing needs to be replaced. 3. Battery Connection Wires: If the battery connection wires are loose or corroded, they should be reconnected securely if the issue is poor contact. However, if the wires are corroded, they must be replaced.

What Causes a Car Alarm to Sound for No Reason?

There are several reasons why a car alarm might sound for no apparent reason: 1. Controller malfunction: This could be due to a fault in the alarm itself or a triggered sensor. The solution is to repair or replace the faulty component. 2. Trigger sensitivity too high: If the alarm sounds intermittently, it can disrupt rest. The solution is to adjust the sensitivity of the alarm on the anti-theft control box. Typically, the anti-theft control box is installed under the dashboard. After opening it, you can see a spiral knob that can be turned to adjust the sensitivity. Lower the sensitivity to a level where kicking the tire does not trigger the alarm. Normally, the silent mode of the anti-theft system can still provide security without sound. If the control circuit detects an abnormal start of the car, it will automatically cut off power and sound the alarm, activating the audible anti-theft mode. If the anti-theft system detects continuous vibrations and keeps sounding, it can disturb others and drain the car's battery. 3. Poor closure: The solution is to ensure that the door edge switch, hood switch, or trunk is properly closed.
