Relay failure, thermostat switch failure, or insufficient water temperature can all cause the first two fans of Refine not to work. Relay failure: If the water temperature meets the requirements but the car radiator fan still does not work, then it is an issue with the fan relay. If the relay fails, the car radiator fan will not operate. Thermostat switch failure: It is necessary to check the thermostat switch, as this component can sometimes develop faults that affect the operation of the car radiator fan. Therefore, it should be inspected carefully. Insufficient water temperature: The fan will only start rotating normally when the water temperature inside the car reaches the required level. If the temperature is too low, the radiator fan will not rotate. Therefore, when the car radiator fan fails to work, the first step is to check whether the water temperature has reached the required level. Solutions for the first two fans of Refine not working: Replace the damaged relay, replace the damaged thermostat switch, check whether the water temperature meets the requirements, and if the water temperature cannot rise, the car engine needs to be inspected.

Yesterday, I encountered the same issue with my neighbor Lao Wang's Refine—the first two fans just wouldn't spin. I figured the most common culprit is a blown fuse. So, I popped open the fuse box on the left side of the engine bay, located the one marked with a fan symbol, and pulled it out to check if the metal wire was broken. If it looked intact, the next step was to inspect the relay—that little black cube—giving it a couple of light taps sometimes works as a temporary fix. If that didn’t help, then the thermostat switch might be on strike, failing to send a signal even when the coolant hits 90°C, leaving the fans idle. Loose wiring connections are also a frequent offender, especially after rainy days when oxidation sets in. If all else fails, it’s best to head to the repair shop for a diagnostic scan—don’t wait until the engine overheats to regret it.

How Many Kilometers Should a Car Run in a Year?

It is appropriate for a car to run 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers a year. After exceeding this range, it is necessary to increase the maintenance efforts for the car. Maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The purpose of maintenance is to keep the car clean and tidy, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service cycle. The effects of not performing maintenance on the car include: 1. A dirty air filter will hinder fresh air from entering the cylinder, leading to a too rich mixture, incomplete combustion, reduced power, and excessive exhaust emissions; 2. A clogged oil filter will obstruct the flow of lubricating oil, causing poor engine lubrication, increased wear, and even bearing burning.

What causes large areas of paint peeling on the car hood?

Paint fading: Oil fumes and pollutants in the atmosphere are the main causes of car paint fading and discoloration. Fading is different from oxidation, as it results in uneven color differences on the car paint when it occurs. Paint oxidation: Prolonged exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can cause excessive dispersion of the oil content in the car paint. Both the brightness and depth of the paint are significantly reduced, causing the paint to gradually turn white and form an oxidation layer, thereby shortening the lifespan of the car paint. Solutions are as follows: 1. Waxing: If the car paint's loss of gloss and fading is relatively mild, you can apply wax to the car. 2. Repainting: If the car paint's loss of gloss and fading is severe, then the car should be repainted to improve overall aesthetics and enhance its protective capabilities. 3. Polishing: Paint oxidation can be treated through grinding and polishing.

When the engine yellow light is on, it indicates a system fault, and there are many possible causes for the light. The potential reasons and solutions for not being able to shift into reverse gear are as follows: 1. Name-brand computer issue: If the name-brand computer has a problem, you should visit a repair shop and have a technician replace it. 2. Clutch issue: Check whether the clutch is faulty when the engine yellow light is on and reverse gear cannot be engaged. 3. Check the fault code: Visit a professional 4S shop or repair shop to use a decoder to detect the fault code. Only then can targeted repairs be made to quickly resolve the issue. Some engine yellow lights do not affect vehicle operation, so there is no need to worry, and the vehicle can continue to be used. 4. Restart: If the fault light is on and you cannot shift gears to move, try turning off the engine and restarting it to see if you can shift gears again.
