What causes the car to not start with flashing lights?
2 Answers
Car dashboard indicator lights flashing and the vehicle failing to start is caused by a malfunction in the car's engine system. The solution is: If the car's engine system is malfunctioning, promptly visit a 4S shop or repair shop to inspect and repair the transmission system, which will resolve the issues of the indicator lights flashing and the car not starting. Relevant information about the car dashboard is as follows: 1. Introduction: The dashboard (instrument-panel) is a rigid flat plate or structural component used for installing instruments and related devices. It can be categorized by type into screen-type dashboards, frame-type dashboards, channel-type dashboards, and cabinet-type dashboards. 2. Function: The dashboard can be equipped with external lighting and may also include a control console. It comes in various forms and specifications, allowing for the installation of various instruments as needed, and can also combine various dashboards into a single unit as required.
I recently encountered this issue of the car not starting and the lights flickering on my own vehicle. It felt like the battery was aging and couldn't provide enough power. During startup, the power consumption is high, and the voltage drops too quickly, causing the lights to flicker intermittently. When checking, first see if the battery terminals are loose or have oxide buildup. Use a wrench to tighten them and clean the contact surfaces with a brush. If tightening doesn't help, it might mean the battery itself has reached the end of its life and needs replacement, or a fuse has blown and needs to be changed. Another possible reason is a faulty alternator not charging the battery in time, affecting stability. I remember one time driving in high summer temperatures when the battery overheated and the lights flickered. After towing it to the shop, they found the battery had been in use for four years and needed replacement. It's advisable to check the battery charge monthly, using a multimeter to measure the voltage. If it's below 12 volts, it's a sign of impending trouble. Keeping a portable jump starter in the car for emergencies is very helpful—avoid multiple hard starts to prevent system damage. Car maintenance requires attention; prevention is better than cure.
