Car ground short circuit refers to a short circuit caused by damaged insulation protection of the wiring grounding. The following are specific introductions about car ground short circuits: 1. Impact: A ground short circuit may cause the fuse to blow or the fusible link to burn out. 2. Troubleshooting: If the short circuit occurs after the load is applied, the circuit control device is likely to fail. You can use a test light for troubleshooting. Connect the test light at the fuse location, then disconnect and reconnect circuit components one by one. If the test light does not illuminate, it indicates a circuit problem, and the car cannot proceed due to the loss of lighting indicators.

What to Do If You Don't Have Your Driver's License with You?

If you don't have your driver's license with you, you should show your ID card to the traffic police and ask them to verify whether you have a driver's license by calling the central office. Forgetting to bring your driver's license does not equate to driving without a license. When driving, it's essential to carry both your driver's license and vehicle registration certificate. The driver's license is a necessity for legally driving on the road, while the vehicle registration certificate serves as the car's ID. To obtain a driver's license, you must meet the minimum age requirement and pass the driving test, which consists of four parts: Part 1 is a written test, Part 2 is field driving, Part 3 is road driving, and Part 4 is a theoretical test on safe and civilized driving knowledge.

Do brake pads need to be replaced all four together?

Brake pads do not need to be replaced all four together, but they should not be replaced individually either. It is best to replace them in pairs. If all the pads are completely worn out, you may consider replacing all four. Normally, the front two are replaced together, and the rear two are replaced together, or you can replace both front and rear pairs at the same time. Car brake pads are typically replaced every 5,000 kilometers. Every 5,000 kilometers, the brake pads should be inspected, not only for remaining thickness but also to check if the wear on both sides is even. Any abnormalities should be addressed immediately. Precautions for brake pad replacement: 1. Always use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brake pads to ensure the best braking performance and minimal wear between the pads and rotors; 2. When replacing the pads, use the proper tools to retract the brake caliper piston. Avoid using pry bars or other tools to force it back, as this can bend the caliper guide pins and cause the brake pads to seize.
