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.

It's quite common for the dual front fans of the Refine to stop working. I've researched this issue several times. There are essentially a few core problems: the motor bearings seizing up (you can hear a buzzing sound but the blades don't move); a blown fuse in the circuit (the simplest fix, located in the fuse box under the driver's seat); relay contact erosion (you'll hear a clicking sound but the fan won't work); thermostat signal failure (the most troublesome, requires a multimeter to measure voltage); and damaged fan resistor modules (this requires professional equipment to test). For DIY solutions, I recommend trying to replace the fuse first—it's just a few bucks. If that doesn't work, then take it to a repair shop. Remember to regularly clean the radiator of willow catkins to prevent overheating.

Why is there no sound when playing music via Bluetooth connection between the car and phone?

Reasons for no sound when playing music via Bluetooth connection between the car and phone: 1. The call volume on the phone is not turned on; 2. The volume on the car navigation system is not enabled; 3. The car Bluetooth and phone are not properly paired. The Bluetooth technology in car Bluetooth systems is derived from mobile phone Bluetooth technology, sharing the same transmission system, and is a wireless hands-free system designed for in-car use based on wireless Bluetooth technology. How to use car Bluetooth: 1. Turn on both the phone and car Bluetooth, search for the car Bluetooth BYDAOUT (this is generally the default name), then connect and set it to auto-connect for automatic connection when entering the car; 2. Set and enable phone music in the multimedia system, then return; 3. Select phone music from the multimedia home interface and click play.

What are the body dimensions of the latest Ford Focus?

The latest Ford Focus measures 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, according to official data. The length of the latest Ford Focus refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the car. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane, touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane. The naturally aspirated engine of the latest Ford Focus delivers a maximum power of 90kW and a maximum torque of 153Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6500 rpm and its maximum torque at 4500 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with a manual transmission (MT). National regulations stipulate certain requirements for vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle excludes side mirrors. The width limitation is designed to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.

What is the Difference Between Turbocharging and Supercharging?

Turbocharging is driven by exhaust gases and is more affordable, while supercharging is driven by the engine and is more expensive. The specific differences between the two are as follows: 1. Different Working Principles: Forced induction involves providing high-pressure air at the engine's intake side, allowing air to actively enter the cylinders. This enables more air-fuel mixture to enter the cylinders, thereby increasing engine power. 1. Turbocharging utilizes the energy from engine exhaust to pressurize the air. The turbocharger is installed on the exhaust manifold, where the exhaust gases drive the turbine. The turbine, in turn, drives the coaxial compressor impeller, which pressurizes the air and delivers it to the engine's intake, achieving forced induction. Turbochargers rely on exhaust gases for operation. At low engine speeds, the exhaust gas volume is insufficient to drive the turbocharger to achieve adequate boost pressure. Therefore, turbocharged engines only exhibit boost effects after reaching a certain RPM. Additionally, there is a delay from pressing the throttle to the increase in exhaust gas volume, resulting in turbo lag in turbocharged engines. 2. Supercharging is driven directly by the engine via a belt connection, powering an internal screw-type air compressor to provide intake boost. Since the supercharger is directly connected to the engine, there is virtually no lag, and boost is available as soon as the engine starts. This results in very smooth power delivery, making supercharging ideal for luxury vehicles seeking superior driving quality. 2. Price Differences: 1. Turbochargers are more affordable, but they operate at high temperatures, requiring better engine cooling systems. 2. Superchargers are more expensive. Additionally, as the supercharger's speed increases, its rotational inertia grows, consuming more engine power. Consequently, supercharged engines may see limited maximum power at high RPMs due to the significant power consumption by the supercharger. In summary: Supercharging is more like the icing on the cake, suitable for applications where high driving quality is desired. Turbocharging, on the other hand, is more like a shot of adrenaline, delivering the desired power at the lowest possible cost.

How to Repair a Non-Functional Car Cigarette Lighter?

To repair a non-functional car cigarette lighter, the owner can first try connecting a cigarette lighter of the same model. If it works normally, the issue lies with the cigarette lighter itself, and it can be directly replaced. If it still doesn't work, the problem is likely with the cigarette lighter's fuse. Steps to replace the cigarette lighter: 1. Locate the car's electrical fuse box. The position of the fuse box varies depending on the car's brand and model—some are in the storage compartment, while others are under the dashboard. 2. Open the fuse box cover and refer to the fuse location diagram on the inside of the cover to find the cigarette lighter fuse. 3. Use the included fuse puller to remove the blown fuse and replace it with a new or spare fuse.

How to Determine the Right Side of the Car Doesn't Scrape People?

Methods to determine that the right side of the car doesn't scrape people include being skilled at using rearview mirrors and adjusting their positions properly. The specific methods are introduced as follows: Utilize Rearview Mirrors Effectively: Observing the sides, rear, and underneath the car through rearview mirrors is a good method. It's important to develop the habit of frequently checking the mirrors. Adjusting the mirrors correctly is also crucial, especially since the driver is farther from the right rearview mirror. The angle should be adjusted according to each person's seating position, which needs to be confirmed and set properly before starting to drive. Choose the Road and Lane in Advance: Try to avoid areas with heavy pedestrian traffic, such as markets, schools, large supermarket entrances, or narrow roads in old urban areas, to prevent scrapes. When driving on roads with three or more lanes, try to stay in the middle lane. The right lane often has electric bikes, bicycles, and tricycles cutting in, which tend to ride irregularly and are very unsafe. Determine the Position of the Right Front Corner: For pedestrians, when they are 20 centimeters away from the right front corner, the lowest visible point is at the waist. For other vehicles, when the distance is 20 centimeters from an obstacle vehicle, the lowest visible point is at 80 centimeters. For sedans, 80 centimeters is roughly below the door handle, while for SUVs, it's around the lower edge of the headlight. Therefore, when approaching an obstacle vehicle, ensure you can see below the door handle or the lower edge of the headlight to avoid contact.
