Passat's power folding mirror malfunction can stem from both mechanical and electronic control system issues. Common causes include damage to the electric mirror motor, blown fuse in the control switch, or wiring faults. Prolonged bending during mirror folding may lead to wire breakage, loose connectors, or poor contact, resulting in failure. Relevant information about car mirrors is as follows: 1. Location: Car side mirrors are mounted on both left and right sides of the vehicle's front, along with an interior rearview mirror at the front of the cabin. 2. Function: These mirrors provide visibility of areas behind, beside, and below the vehicle, serving as "second eyes" that significantly expand the driver's field of view by indirectly displaying these critical zones.

Why is the dashboard light of the Santana not working?

The dashboard light of the Santana is not working due to damaged power supply wiring or a blown power supply fuse. Damaged power supply wiring: If the wiring supplying power to the dashboard is damaged, resulting in an open circuit or short circuit, it can cause the car dashboard light to stop working. Blown power supply fuse: A fuse, also known as a circuit breaker, is an electrical component installed in a circuit to ensure safe operation. When there is a fault or abnormality in the circuit, the fuse will automatically blow and cut off the current when the current rises abnormally to a certain level. If the power supply fuse for the car dashboard is blown, it naturally results in no power supply, and the dashboard light will not illuminate.

What Documents Are Needed for License Plate Replacement?

Replacing a license plate requires the following documents: 1. Identification: Vehicle registration certificate and personal ID card. 2.

For official vehicles, the form must be stamped with the company seal before submission. The vehicle management office will then issue a police receipt and a temporary license plate. The temporary plate should be prominently displayed on the front windshield of the vehicle for police inspection. Using a temporary plate does not affect the annual inspection. If only one license plate is lost, the remaining old plate must be surrendered when applying for the replacement.
