Reasons why the Wuling Hongguang Mini won't start or ignite
2 Answers
The reasons why the Wuling Hongguang Mini won't start or ignite are as follows: 1. Circuit or electronic failure: The occurrence is very sudden, with no prior signs. Circuit failures include blown fuses, open high-voltage coils, open low-voltage circuits, detached central ignition wires, leaking distributor rotors, and damaged spark plugs; electronic failures mainly refer to the central computer control board losing functionality. 2. Fuel system failure: Stalling caused by fuel system failures often comes with symptoms like weak engine power and a spongy accelerator pedal. Possible fuel system failure points include malfunctioning fuel pumps, blocked fuel lines, clogged fuel filters, failed carburetors, damaged injectors, etc. Sometimes, the fuel tank may be empty without the owner realizing it. 3. Mechanical failure: Common mechanical failures include broken timing belts (or chains), cylinder leaks with no pressure, etc.
Last time my Wuling Hongguang Mini EV wouldn't start, and after struggling for a while I found out the 12V auxiliary battery was completely dead. It powers the vehicle's electronic systems - leaving the car parked too long or frequently making short trips can drain it. A weak coin battery in the key fob can also cause recognition failure, making the start button completely unresponsive when pressed. Another issue could be a blown fuse located in the fuse box under the steering wheel - replacing it yourself is quite simple. Always check the charging status; if the main battery drops below 15%, the system will directly prohibit startup and show a warning light, but if the dashboard doesn't light up at all it's definitely an auxiliary battery issue. I recommend keeping portable jumper cables or regularly testing the voltage as prevention. Wet circuits during rainy days can cause poor contact, so frequent inspection of connection points can avoid this situation.
