The key can be turned, but the dashboard does not light up, and the steering column lock cannot be unlocked. Below are the specific details: 1. Internal CPU damage: Prolonged use and issues with the CPU's manufacturing materials can sometimes cause it to malfunction. The CPU can be replaced. 2. Internal relay: Frequent operation of the relay can cause oxidation of the contacts, leading to poor contact. The relay should be replaced with a new one. 3. Recommended solution: For a more reliable fix, replace both the CPU and the relay to avoid future issues. Additionally, components like the micro switch and motor, as well as small resistors near the CPU pins, may change value due to excessive temperature when using a heat gun or soldering iron during disassembly or soldering.

What does the auto light on the car mean?

The auto light on the car refers to the automatic headlights, which will automatically turn on or off based on the light sensing system. It can realize automatic activation or deactivation, as well as automatic switching between high and low beams. When the headlight is adjusted to this position, it will not turn on during the day, but will automatically activate at night, such as when driving through tunnels, on cloudy days, or in any dimly lit areas. The working principle of the auto light is as follows: electronic components like photoresistors act as sensors to send electronic signals to the control unit, informing it whether to turn the headlights on or off. The control unit then manages the headlight switch and the change between high and low beams.

What Causes the Front Wheels of a Corolla to Make a Clunking Noise When Going Over Bumps?

Corolla front wheels making a clunking noise when going over bumps may be due to damaged shock absorber plane bearings or aging buffer rubber on the front wheel shock absorbers. Additional details are as follows: 1. Replacing the Rubber: The connection points between the shock absorbers and the car body are cushioned with rubber. Over time, rubber components can harden and age; when this hardened rubber is compressed, it produces a clunking sound. In such cases, simply replacing the aged rubber on the shock absorbers can resolve the issue. 2. Replacing the Shock Absorbers: Apart from the aforementioned aging buffer rubber, damaged shock absorbers can also cause abnormal noises when the car drives over uneven roads. Although shock absorbers have a relatively long lifespan, they are still considered a wear-and-tear component on a vehicle. If the driving environment is harsh or the car is frequently driven aggressively, damage or oil leakage may occur. If the shock absorbers are damaged or leaking, they should be replaced. It is best to use original manufacturer parts for replacement, as their quality is more reliable.
