What Causes the Wiper Motor to Make Noise?

There are primarily three reasons for the phenomenon where the wiper does not move but makes a buzzing sound: 1. The first reason is that the vehicle's windshield is not clean enough; secondly, the wiper blades have reached the end of their lifespan and can no longer be used; finally, the spring strength of the wiper gradually weakens as the vehicle ages. By troubleshooting the wiper based on these three reasons, the issue can generally be resolved; 2. If the driver notices the wiper scraping against the windshield or jumping during rainy weather, it is essential to find a sheltered spot to park the vehicle immediately. Avoid driving onto elevated roads or highways while enduring the annoyance. After parking, the first thing to check is not the wiper but the windshield; 3. So, how can the issue of a 'dirty film' on the windshield be resolved? It's actually not very difficult, but drivers need to adopt a habit of 'regular maintenance.' Regardless of how often the car is washed, to prevent the formation of a 'dirty film' on the windshield, it is best to clean the windshield with water once a week. In areas with severe air pollution, drivers can add an appropriate amount of alkaline cleaner to the water.

How to Fix No Airflow from the Passenger Side Air Conditioner?

No airflow from the passenger side air conditioner is usually caused by issues with the cabin air filter or the blower motor. Below are detailed descriptions of the problems: Cabin Air Filter Clogged: If the cabin air filter is clogged, the airflow will be restricted, resulting in no air coming out of the air conditioner. Therefore, if you notice that your car's air conditioner is not blowing air or the airflow has weakened, the first step is to check if the cabin air filter is dirty. Typically, after cleaning or replacing the filter, the airflow will return to normal. During inspection, you can remove the filter to see if the airflow increases. If it does, the filter is clogged; if there's no change, the issue lies elsewhere. Blower Motor Malfunction: The blower motor is a crucial component of the air conditioning system, responsible for circulating air inside the vehicle. When using the air conditioner at higher fan speeds, you may often hear a humming sound coming from under the passenger seat. This is the sound of the blower motor working—the higher the airflow demand, the faster the motor operates to draw in air. If the blower motor is damaged, it may fail to draw sufficient air or stop working altogether, preventing airflow from the air conditioner. To diagnose, set the fan speed to maximum and listen for the blower motor's sound. If it doesn't spin or spins too slowly, it indicates a malfunction, and the owner should visit a 4S shop or repair facility for servicing.

What Causes a Car to Stall During Normal Driving?

Here are the specific reasons why a car may stall during normal driving: 1. During normal engine operation, the fuel pump draws fuel from the tank, which passes through the filter into the distribution lines and is then sprayed by the injectors to form an air-fuel mixture. In this process, the fuel pump and injectors are prone to failure, followed by filter and fuel line blockages. Focus on inspecting these two areas. If necessary, clean the fuel lines. To reduce the occurrence of such issues, always refuel at reputable gas stations with the correct grade of gasoline and ensure timely refueling, avoiding letting the fuel level drop below the red line. 2. Throttle body blockage. Generally, mechanics will consider cleaning the throttle body. However, if frequent cleaning of the throttle body does not fully resolve the stalling issue, it is usually a sign of a fault. Also, check the vacuum pump to ensure normal air intake. 3. Abnormal spark plug ignition. Replace spark plugs according to their service life. In a gasoline engine, the combustible mixture is ignited by the spark plug near the top dead center of compression. Therefore, when a spark plug fails, it naturally causes the vehicle to stall. Typically, replacing the spark plug completely resolves the issue, but temporary fixes like cleaning the electrodes or adjusting the central electrode length can be used in emergencies. Additionally, insufficient battery voltage, leakage, faulty ignition coils, or wiring issues can lead to poor ignition or stalling. 4. Sensor failure causing ECU protective fuel cut-off. Check whether all sensors and actuators are functioning properly. Key sensors include the throttle position sensor, oxygen sensor, crankshaft position sensor, etc.

Is It Safe If a Piece of Tire Rubber Is Torn Off?

Tire damage where a piece of rubber is torn off can be concerning. If the damage is on the sidewall of the tire, it is recommended to replace the tire, as the sidewall is the weakest part of the tire. If the fabric layers are exposed, it becomes particularly dangerous and significantly increases the risk of a blowout. For safety reasons, it is generally advisable to replace the tire with a new one. However, if the depth and width of the damage are less than 3 millimeters, the tire can still be used as a spare. More details are as follows: 1. Tire Damage: Any damage to a tire should be taken seriously, as tires bear the entire weight of the vehicle, and a blowout poses a significant risk. If a small piece of rubber is torn off from the tread pattern, it may not be a major issue for daily driving, but it is not recommended for highway use. If the sidewall is damaged, replacement is advised because the rubber on the sidewall is already thin, and further thinning due to damage increases the likelihood of a blowout. 2. Tread Wear Indicators: If the tire has worn down to the tread wear indicators—small raised bars located at the bottom of the tread grooves, which are 1.6 mm high (the legal minimum groove depth)—the tire should be replaced immediately, as continued driving is no longer safe. Using worn tires on wet roads can lead to hydroplaning, increasing the risk of losing control. This is because excessively worn treads cannot effectively channel water away from under the tire, leading to potential loss of vehicle control.
