Why does the Buick GL8 air conditioning fan stop and start repeatedly?

Buick GL8 air conditioning fan stops and starts repeatedly because the fan and the compressor share the same circuit. Here are the details about Buick GL8: 1. Detailed reason: Since the fan and the compressor share the same circuit, the compressor is an electromagnetic clutch, and the pulley keeps rotating. However, if the fan stops and the compressor core does not rotate, it needs careful inspection. If it feels hot, it indicates poor circuit contact. 2. Model information: Buick GL8 is an MPV model under General Motors' Buick brand, with its biggest highlight being compliance with the China VI emission standards. MPV stands for Multi-Purpose Vehicle, evolved from station wagons, combining the spacious passenger space of a station wagon with the comfort of a sedan, usually featuring a two-box structure.

How to Remove the Brake Light?

The method to remove the brake light is: 1. Use a cross-head screwdriver or socket to remove the bolts; 2. Pull the lamp assembly out from the rear pillar; 3. Turn the socket counterclockwise and remove it. The brake light is installed at the rear of the vehicle, with a red main body color to enhance the penetration of the light source, so that vehicles behind can detect the vehicle ahead under low visibility conditions, serving the purpose of preventing rear-end collisions. The principle of the car's brake light switch is that when the foot brake pedal is pressed down, it pushes the brake light switch contact point downward, connecting the brake light circuit and turning on the brake light. When the brake pedal is released, the switch contact of the brake light is disconnected, and the brake light turns off.
