There are several reasons why a car door may not open: 1. The remote key is out of battery: If the door won't open when using the remote key, it's likely that the remote key's battery is dead, the car battery is dead, or there is strong signal interference nearby. Generally, remote keys have a hidden mechanical key inside. 2. After obtaining the mechanical key, if you can't find the keyhole on the door, it's because the keyhole is hidden. Manufacturers often hide the keyhole for aesthetic reasons. 3. In this case, you need to look carefully. Usually, there is a decorative piece at the end of the door handle that is about the same size as the key. You can pry it open to access the keyhole.

How to Identify the Quality of an Automotive Ignition Coil?

Replace the suspected faulty ignition coil with a known good one; if the issue disappears, it indicates the ignition coil is faulty. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the primary and secondary windings. If the measured resistance is infinite, it indicates a short circuit in the winding. If the resistance is too high or too low, it suggests poor contact or inter-turn short circuits in the winding.
