No response when inserting the key to start the car may be caused by a depleted car battery or issues with the car's ignition system. Here is the relevant information: 1. First, check the car battery. It is likely that the car battery has been completely discharged. In this case, you need to find an external power source to jump-start the car. If the car can be started through jump-starting, it indicates that the battery is depleted. After charging the battery, check its lifespan. 2. You should also inspect the car's ignition system to see if there is power in the live wire entering the ignition switch. If there is power, it means the ignition switch is functioning normally; if there is no power, it indicates a faulty ignition switch. 3. The car's steering wheel might have been accidentally locked, which can also prevent the car from starting. In this situation, place one hand on the steering wheel and turn the car key back and forth with the other hand. The car should start quickly. This is not a malfunction but simply a locked steering wheel.

Why does the rear wiper of Audi Q2L keep wiping?

The wiper keeps wiping and cannot stop, which should be a fault in the wiper motor's circuit. How the wiper works: When the driver operates the wiper handle, the demand signal is transmitted to the BCM (Body Control Module). The BCM then sends a start signal to the wiper motor, which controls the wiper arm to perform the corresponding action. This is the working principle of the wiper. Solution for the wiper continuously wiping: You can check it yourself. After disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery, the wiper will stop moving. Without operating the wiper handle, drive the car to a repair shop or 4S store and let the technician check the circuit issue.
