The following are the reasons why the windshield wiper sprays water but does not move: 1. Check the wiring and motor: Inspect whether the wiring is loose or if the motor is damaged. Turn off the engine, open the hood, and activate the spray switch. If you hear the motor working, it indicates the motor is fine; otherwise, the issue could be loose wiring or a damaged motor. 2. Check the fuse and spray nozzles: Inspect the fuse in the wiring. Check if the spray nozzles are clogged. You can use a thin metal wire to unclog them, but be careful not to break it inside. 3. Pay attention to cleaning: Check if there are any substances or residues on the wiper blades—clean them and then test again. Also, look for tree sap, insect residue, etc., on the windshield; clean it thoroughly and try again.

What to Do When the Car Doesn't Respond to the Key Fob and Won't Start?

If the car doesn't respond to the key fob and won't start, you can use the mechanical key on the remote fob to start the car. This issue may occur due to a dead battery in the key fob, signal interference near airports or radio transmission towers, or if the car is out of fuel or has a dead battery. Additionally, the car may not respond if the anti-theft system is activated and cannot be unlocked. The basic principle of a car remote key: the key fob emits a weak radio wave, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU) then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) performs the action of starting, stopping, or locking the car.

What causes the smell of gasoline inside the car?

The reasons for smelling gasoline inside the car are as follows: 1. The fuel tank cap is not tightly sealed, or the carbon canister pipes are aged and cracked. In this case, focus on checking the sealing ring of the fuel tank. If you can fix it yourself, perform a simple repair; if not, replace the entire component. 2. Overfilling the fuel tank. If the tank is overfilled, gasoline may flow into the carbon canister through the pipes. The carbon canister, originally designed to collect gasoline vapors, will release excess gasoline vapors through the vent when invaded by liquid gasoline. When the air conditioning is in external circulation mode, the gasoline smell can enter the car. 3. Gasoline leakage. If this occurs, immediately send the car to a 4S shop for inspection. Gasoline leakage may be due to issues with the fuel pump's outlet or return pipes.

How to Adjust Misaligned Headlights?

Adjusting the headlights can be done as follows: 1. Use a marker or chalk to mark the center of the headlight beam's range on the wall, and also make a mark on the wall corresponding to the center of the vehicle's emblem (the exact front center of the car). 2. Measure the distance from each headlight mark to the center mark; these distances should be equal. 3. If the headlights are offset outward or inward, refer to the vehicle's user manual and use a screwdriver for fine adjustments to ensure the headlights are symmetrically aligned. 4. Adjust the height of the beams: the right headlight should be completely level, while the left headlight should be adjusted approximately 10cm higher.

Why is the fuel consumption of the Sylphy getting higher and higher?

The reasons for the increasing fuel consumption of the Sylphy are as follows: 1. Insufficient tire pressure and tire wear: Insufficient or low tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the ground, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. Severe tire wear often causes slipping, which also increases fuel consumption. 2. Pay attention to fuel quality: Regularly clean carbon deposits. 3. Other faults: If the average fuel consumption increases, consider whether there are faults in the car, such as excessive carbon deposits in the engine, damaged oxygen sensors, long overdue replacement of the 'three filters', issues with certain engine control units, or insufficient tire pressure. These factors can all lead to a sudden increase in fuel consumption.

Is the Mercedes-Benz Emerald Green Black Without Sunlight?

Mercedes-Benz emerald green is not black but dark green without sunlight. In terms of workmanship: For domestic vehicles, the treatment of corners and sheet metal is very rough. In the driver's seat area, around the pedals for the accelerator and brake, and under the steering wheel, many plastic edges and material installations have burrs. The trunk and storage spaces have no protection at all. Domestic Mercedes-Benz models exhibit cost-cutting practices, which are rare in imported versions. In terms of precision: For domestic Mercedes-Benz models, the chassis and some plastic assembly parts lack screws in many places where they should be installed. In terms of configuration: Domestic configurations are more expensive than imported ones.
