What are the reasons for the horn not working in the Emgrand eC715?

Reasons for the Emgrand eC715 horn not working are as follows: Poor sealing: The interior of the horn is sealed, but if the sealing is poor, water vapor can easily enter during car washing, causing the contacts to become damp and preventing normal operation. Poor contact at the electromagnetic coil terminal: Some horns have aluminum metal connections for the enameled wire terminals of the internal electromagnetic coil. If the insulation paint on the ends of the enameled wire is not completely removed, or if the rivet crimping is not secure, it can easily lead to poor contact, resulting in the horn not working. This type of fault can only be resolved by replacement, not repair. Prolonged pressing of the horn causing contact erosion: Prolonged pressing of the horn can easily cause the contacts to erode, creating impedance. As a result, the current passing through the electromagnetic coil weakens, unable to attract the armature to drive the diaphragm for normal vibration, leading to the horn not working. However, when the horn is pressed continuously, the instantaneous strong current can still pass through the impedance and function normally, so the horn may work intermittently.

I've encountered a similar issue with the Geely Emgrand eC715 horn not working, which mainly stems from five common causes. The most frequent is poor contact in the horn button, as prolonged steering wheel use can lead to wear and unreliable connections. Secondly, blown fuses are common, especially during rainy weather or circuit overloads. Horn unit damage is also prevalent, particularly among drivers who frequently press the horn forcefully. Wiring issues shouldn't be overlooked—loose connectors or rodent-chewed wires can cause circuit breaks. Lastly, a depleted 12V auxiliary battery can be the culprit; EV horns operate independently from the high-voltage battery system, making them the first component to fail when power is low. I recommend first checking the fuse box, typically located behind the left-side panel below the steering wheel.

What kind of engine oil is best for the first maintenance of a new car?

It is recommended to use the original engine oil for the first maintenance of a new car. Here is some relevant knowledge about car maintenance: 1. First maintenance knowledge: As long as the new car is taken to the 4S shop for the first maintenance within the specified period, even if the subsequent maintenance is not done at the 4S shop, the three guarantees can still be enjoyed. However, if the user purchases a new car and does not go to the designated 4S shop or the manufacturer's designated authorized repair shop for the first maintenance within the specified mileage, if there is a problem with the car, even during the warranty period, the user will have to pay a certain amount of repair costs. 2. Engine oil selection: Whether you choose the engine oil yourself or use the free engine oil provided by the 4S shop, you should first confirm the engine type and model. If you are not satisfied with the free engine oil provided by the 4S shop, you can completely purchase brand engine oil yourself or add some money to purchase the original synthetic engine oil from the 4S shop.

What are the requirements for spark plug gap standards?

The standard requirement for spark plug gap is between 0.8-0.9mm. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its condition based on the following appearance colors. A normal spark plug will have its insulator skirt and electrodes appearing gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug will have a reddish-brown insulator skirt, an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm, and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug has oil stains or deposits but is not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, with signs such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates that the wrong heat range was selected or the air-fuel mixture is too rich, with oil creeping up.

Does a new car need an annual inspection after one year?

Whether a new car that has just reached one year needs an annual inspection depends on the vehicle model and its specific nature. Below is relevant information about the annual inspection: 1. Conditions: Vehicles whose condition does not match the records on the driving license or registration file, or whose license plates or driving licenses are damaged, incomplete, illegible, or self-made. 2. Notes: The exterior of the vehicle cannot be modified. The color of window sunshade or anti-explosion film cannot be too dark (items inside the vehicle should be clearly visible from one meter away; mainly applies to vans and trucks, but not to small cars with fewer than 5 seats). Vans and trucks must have enlarged rear license plates, and the number of spring leaf plates cannot be increased or decreased. The number of seats in a van cannot be altered, and a fire extinguisher must be present. The cargo compartment of a box truck cannot be modified (no side doors, no roof openings, and no tailgates can be added). The size of the tires cannot be altered, and the tread patterns on tires of the same axle must be consistent. Vehicles with unresolved traffic violations or those impounded by the court cannot undergo an annual inspection.

Where to Check the Manufacturing Date of a New Car?

Generally, cars come with a manufacturer's nameplate, which is usually located on the firewall, the radiator support, or near the front windshield. This is where you can find the manufacturing information of the new car. Below are some precautions for using a new car: 1. Cold Engine Warm-up: Proper warm-up helps form an "oil film" between engine components, reducing wear. 2. Timely Gear Shifting: During the break-in period of a manual transmission car, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect behaviors like high gear at low RPM or low gear at high RPM. Also, avoid using a single gear for extended periods. 3. Timely Maintenance: Simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual. After reaching a certain mileage or time, promptly inspect and maintain the vehicle, including changing the engine oil and oil filter, and thoroughly checking the chassis system. 4. Avoid Emergency Braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the shock load on the vehicle's chassis and engine.

What are the requirements for obtaining a driver's license?

As long as you are between 18 and 70 years old, with sound limbs and good physical and mental health, you can apply for a small car driver's license, commonly known as the C1 license. To be more specific, the physical conditions for applying for a driver's license include corresponding regulations on age, height, vision, color discrimination ability, hearing, upper limbs, lower limbs, torso, and neck. The following is an introduction to the C1 license: 1. The C1 driver's license is the most commonly used license: The C1 driver's license is the most commonly used and most common driver's license in China. 2. Vehicles that cannot be driven with a C1 license: A C1 license does not permit driving urban buses, medium or large passenger vehicles, large trucks, or two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycles. 3. Vehicles that can be driven with a C1 license: A C1 license allows driving C2, C3, and C4 model vehicles.

How Many Grades Does Castrol Engine Oil Have?

Castrol engine oil has 3 grades. Castrol's products are divided into three series: Edge, Magnetec, and GTX. Magnetec Engine Oil: During the period from vehicle start-up to warm-up, as the oil has not yet fully covered the surface of the components, wear is particularly severe. The UMA magnetic molecules in Magnetec engine oil can adhere to the engine surface like a magnet when the car starts, significantly reducing engine wear during start-up. GTX Engine Oil: It contains active molecules that maintain excellent fluidity in low-temperature environments, improving lubrication efficiency. GTX engine oil also has strong anti-rust and anti-wear functions. Edge Engine Oil: This engine oil is inseparable from the racetrack. It is a fully synthetic racing engine oil that helps the engine deliver powerful performance.
