There are many reasons for abnormal noises after a car wades through water, mainly including water ingress in the brake pads, foreign objects trapped between the brake pads and calipers, water ingestion in the exhaust pipe, and foreign objects lodged in the chassis. 1. Water ingress in the brake pads: If the car wades through shallow water and water splashes onto the brake pads, it is normal to hear a squealing noise when braking. In this case, simply drive normally until the water on the brake pads dries up. 2. Foreign objects on the brake pads: If the car wades through deep water, foreign objects such as plastic bags, paper, and mud in the water may get trapped on the brake pads, causing abnormal noises when braking. In this situation, the brake pads need to be cleaned.

What Causes a Car's Electronic Lock to Not Respond When Pressed?

Car electronic locks not responding when pressed can be due to reasons such as a dead battery or signal interference. Check if the battery is functioning properly: If you notice that the remote key does not respond when unlocking or locking the car, promptly check if the battery is working. If you also observe that the small light on the key does not flash, it is highly likely that the battery inside the key is dead and needs replacement. Although the remote key may be out of power, the mechanical key hidden within the remote can still unlock or lock the car. If you have time, replacing the remote key battery at a 4S shop takes only about ten minutes. Eliminate surrounding signal interference: Due to strong radio interference, the signal from the remote key may not be successfully received by the vehicle, preventing unlocking or locking. In such cases, move the car to a more distant location and then try the key's functionality again.
