The brake switch is located above the brake pedal, with two plastic clips supporting it. Use a self-tapping screw and a metric hex key to remove it. After removing the protective cover, the light switch can be seen above the brake pedal. Pinch the clips on both sides with your hand to easily pull it out. This switch features a rotating clip design. It is not recommended for individuals to perform this operation to avoid unnecessary damage.

Last time I replaced this myself in the garage, it was quite simple. First, locate the switch assembly behind the brake pedal, which is clipped onto the pedal bracket. Remember to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid accidents. Then, use a small wrench or pliers to gently twist and remove the fixing screw, allowing you to take out the entire switch. Note that the top rubber pad at the bottom of the switch is the culprit when it ages and cracks, causing the brake lights to malfunction. Align the new rubber pad into its slot and press it in until you hear a click, indicating it's securely in place. Finally, reinstall the switch and test the sensitivity of the brake lights. The whole process takes about half an hour, but the key is not to apply too much force as the parts can easily deform. It's recommended to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts for better durability.

What Causes the Strange Noise When Steering and Accelerating?

Strange noises when steering and braking may be caused by friction between plastic components, steering wheel noise, or aging of the tie rod end ball joint. Friction between plastic components: Since the steering wheel is usually made of plastic components, the plastic may harden in cold temperatures, naturally leading to friction noises. Noise coming from the steering wheel: If the noise originates from inside the steering wheel, the issue is most likely due to the clock spring (spiral cable). Remove the steering wheel, apply some grease to the clock spring, and check if the noise persists. If it does, replace the clock spring as it may be damaged. Be gentle when removing the steering wheel, or disconnect the airbag fuse to prevent accidental deployment. Aging tie rod end ball joint: If the tie rod end ball joint is aging, it can cause steering wheel vibration and noise. In such cases, the tie rod end ball joint should be replaced, followed by a four-wheel alignment.

What is the boiling point of brake fluid?

The boiling point of brake fluid is below 180°C. Here is some knowledge about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, has a density of approximately 0.91kg×10³. It serves multiple functions in an engine, including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the base oil's performance, providing additional characteristics. Additives are a crucial part of the lubricant. 2. Requirements: As a type of machinery, an engine has common requirements for lubricants similar to other mechanical systems, such as appropriate viscosity, certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature properties. However, engines are also unique machinery, and their requirements for lubricants have special aspects.

Does Water Damage Insurance Cover Transmission Water Ingress?

Water damage insurance does cover transmission water ingress. Below is relevant information about vehicle insurance: 1. Introduction: Vehicle insurance, also known as motor vehicle insurance, commonly referred to as auto insurance. 2. Classification: Commercial insurance is an open policy insurance, divided into basic insurance and additional insurance, with additional insurance being non-independent. Basic insurance includes third-party liability insurance and vehicle damage insurance (comprehensive coverage); Additional insurance includes full vehicle theft insurance (theft coverage), onboard liability insurance, no-fault liability insurance, cargo falling liability insurance, standalone glass breakage insurance, vehicle downtime loss insurance, spontaneous combustion loss insurance, newly installed equipment loss insurance, and special waiver of deductible insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance (i.e., compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance) also falls under the broad category of third-party liability insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory, and motor vehicles must purchase it to be legally driven, undergo annual inspections, and be registered. When third-party losses require claims, compulsory traffic insurance must be paid out first before other insurance types.

How much engine oil should be added to the CF650?

When replacing the oil filter, add 2.2 liters of engine oil to the CF650; without replacing the oil filter, add 2.0 liters of engine oil. Appropriate time for changing engine oil in the CF650: For a new car under normal driving conditions, if synthetic oil is used, the engine oil can generally be changed every 10,000 kilometers. Under severe driving conditions, it is recommended to shorten the oil change interval to effectively protect the engine. Points to note when selecting engine oil for the CF650: It is advisable to choose multi-grade oil as much as possible. Multi-grade oil is economical, long-lasting, and efficient, providing better protection for the engine. If the engine is in good condition and the seasonal temperature is low, it is best to use engine oil with lower viscosity.

Does the new engine have cylinder liners?

Not all engines are equipped with cylinder liners. Introduction to Cylinder Liners: A cylinder liner is a cylindrical component installed within the cylinder block bore of the engine, secured in place by the cylinder head. The piston reciprocates inside its inner bore, while the exterior is cooled by circulating water. Functions of Cylinder Liners: Together with the cylinder head and piston, they form the working space of the cylinder; In trunk-piston diesel engines, the cylinder liner bears the side thrust from the piston, serving as the guide for the piston's reciprocating motion; They transfer heat from the piston assembly and themselves to the cooling water to maintain an appropriate operating temperature; In two-stroke diesel engines, the cylinder liner is equipped with ports that are opened and closed by the piston to achieve gas distribution.

What is the Principle of Engine Speed Limiting?

The principle of engine speed limiting is that when the ignition device loses the ignition signal, it loses its ignition function, causing the engine to shut off. Once the engine shuts off, the rotational speed decreases. Specific reasons for the engine speed limiting principle: When the driver's speed continuously increases to the set speed limit and also reaches the set buffer time without deceleration, the system enforces the speed limit. The throttle automatically adjusts and cannot supply more fuel. Once the speed drops below the set limit, the speed limit is lifted, and the fuel system returns to normal. The car engine speed limiter system includes: Throttle pedal, electronic control unit, motor, throttle mechanism. The driver presses the throttle pedal according to the power required for driving, and the throttle pedal position sensor converts the collected throttle pedal position signal into an electrical signal.
