You can file an insurance claim if your car has many dents from hail. Here is an introduction to insurance compensation: 1. Only purchased comprehensive insurance: If the owner only purchased comprehensive insurance, they can only receive 85% compensation. This means if the owner only has comprehensive insurance without any supplementary coverage, the insurance company will cover 85% of the compensation, and the remaining amount must be borne by the owner. 2. Purchased comprehensive insurance and no-deductible coverage: If the owner has both comprehensive insurance and no-deductible coverage, they can receive full compensation. However, if the owner only has compulsory traffic insurance, they cannot claim compensation for hail damage. 3. Compensation details: If the entire car is damaged, as long as comprehensive insurance and no-deductible coverage are purchased, the corresponding compensation can be obtained. If only the glass (excluding the sunroof) is damaged, the owner must purchase separate glass breakage insurance to receive compensation. In such cases, glass insurance must be purchased separately, as it is an independent coverage and will not compensate for glass damage otherwise.

What is the reason for the rear seat not locking back after being folded down?

Reasons why the rear seat cannot be locked back after being folded down are as follows: Improper operation: To fold down the rear seat, there is a lever on the seat. If the lever is pulled too hard or not handled carefully, the seat belt may get caught behind. You need to fold down the rear seat again and then flatten the trunk mat. Seat belt issue: Check if there is any foreign object stuck between the seat belt and the trim panel, or gently pull the seat belt and slowly release it to see if it can retract. If it still doesn't work, you may need to remove the seat belt and gently pull it to see if it can retract. Latch damage: If none of the above issues are present, the problem may be due to a damaged latch preventing the seat from locking back. Replacing the latch with a new one should resolve the issue.

What are the common issues when the rearview mirror heating fails?

Generally, the failure of rearview mirror heating is caused by either a damaged mirror or a blown fuse. The function of rearview mirror heating: The rearview mirror heating function allows the car to remove rainwater or fog from the mirror surface by heating during harsh weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog, ensuring clear visibility on the mirror surface. The principle of rearview mirror heating: It involves installing an electric heating pad or heating film inside the mirrors on both sides. There is usually a rearview mirror heating button on the car's center console. Once the button is pressed, the mirrors heat up quickly, and the effect can be seen soon. The temperature typically ranges between 30 to 60 degrees Celsius.

Does a Roaring Engine During Startup Damage the Car?

Car roaring during startup damages the car. Reasons for car roaring: During the first few seconds after startup, the engine's instantaneous speed exceeds 1000 RPM, and the upper part of the cylinders is in a state of direct metal-to-metal friction without lubrication, which can significantly impact the car. Consequences of roaring during startup: Operating the engine without sufficient lubrication increases component wear. Especially when the car has been parked overnight, and the engine is started cold in the morning—idle speed hasn't yet dropped to normal levels. In this cold state, the engine oil is still in the oil pan and takes several minutes to circulate and properly lubricate the engine.

Where is the Body Control Module Located?

Body control module is generally installed in the glove box, and the module has two connectors. Function of the automobile engine control module: The automobile engine control module is the core of the engine control components. According to the input information from various sensors, it controls the engine fuel injection and ignition timing, and provides the best control instructions for other output devices. ECM detection: The ECM detects its own faults, various sensors and actuators, serial data lines, and the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) circuit. When a fault is detected, the ECM records the corresponding fault code and takes relevant measures. Engine control calibration program cannot be replaced: The engine control calibration program is stored in an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), which is a permanent memory soldered onto the ECM and cannot be replaced separately.

What is the reason for the continuous noise from the rearview mirror motor?

The reasons for the continuous noise from the rearview mirror motor are as follows: Foreign object at the rearview mirror lens: If the car's rearview mirror is of the electric folding type, check if there is any foreign object between the mirror lens and the base. Remove the foreign object if present. Missing waveform or reversed wiring: Turn on the power supply of the motor's electronic control system and connect an oscilloscope to check if the waveform is missing any peaks. Missing phases can cause vibration and noise. Also, check if the compensation coil and armature leads are connected correctly. Magnetic circuit too strong: A magnetic circuit that is too strong can cause electromagnetic noise. Run the motor at its rated speed to see if the noise occurs only within a certain range. Then, cut off the power supply (both the armature and the excitation simultaneously) and observe if the noise persists during deceleration. If the noise disappears, it can be confirmed that the issue is due to electromagnetic noise.
