What are the reasons for the failure to start the parking generator?
2 Answers
The reasons for the failure to start the parking generator are as follows: 1. Ignition plug damage: Use a multimeter to check the resistance value between the two leads of the ignition plug. The resistance value should be between 0.6-1.2 ohms. If it is not within this range, the ignition plug needs to be replaced. 2. Heater overheating: If the heater is overheating while the radiator and defroster are not heating, possible causes include blockages in the circulation pipeline; bent rubber hoses; water pump failure; gas in the circulation water circuit; inlet and outlet valves not being opened; the engine thermostat opening too early, etc. Identify the cause and carry out the corresponding repairs.
The issue of the parking generator failing to start is something I've encountered frequently during my years of working with cars. The main causes include a dead battery, possibly due to an aging battery, leaving lights on and draining it, or cold winter temperatures reducing performance. Other reasons can be a stuck starter motor or burnt relay contacts, preventing smooth current flow. Electrical issues like blown fuses or loose cable connections are also common culprits. I once dealt with a car that wouldn't start due to corroded battery terminals causing poor contact—a simple cleaning fixed it. Before driving, it's advisable to check the voltmeter reading; ideally, it should be above 12.6V, and anything below 11V is risky. Preventive measures can save a lot of trouble, such as quarterly battery health checks and keeping a jump starter handy for emergencies. Preheating the system for a few minutes in cold weather helps stabilize it. Remember, small oversights can lead to big problems.
