What is the problem when two wipers collide with each other?

Two wipers colliding with each other may be due to the replacement wiper blades being too long and not matching the size. Simply replace them with the correct size next time. Different vehicle models may have wiper blades of varying sizes. Wipers are devices used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Here are some daily usage precautions for wipers: 1. Pay attention to moisture when using wipers daily: Ensure that the rubber wiper blades maintain sufficient moisture. Only with adequate moisture can they have excellent flexibility to maintain close contact with the windshield. Insufficient water on the windshield before daily use can lead to dry wiping, producing the opposite effect. 2. Wait for more raindrops to accumulate on the windshield before turning on the wipers: If raindrops accumulate slowly and do not affect visibility, it's best to wait until more raindrops accumulate on the windshield before turning on the wipers. When using wipers in light rain, it's advisable to spray windshield washer fluid before wiping to ensure there is enough water on the windshield to moisten the wipers.

Last time I noticed the wipers hitting each other, which was quite annoying, especially in the rain when visibility was poor, posing a significant safety risk. Possible causes include misaligned or bent wiper arms. When I checked myself, I found loose installation or rusted linkage causing unsynchronized movement. I had to stop and manually adjust them; if that didn't work, I'd need a professional to realign them. When parking, avoid letting the wipers freeze or get pressed by hard objects. Regularly cleaning the windshield can reduce friction wear. Ignoring it for too long may worsen motor wear, increasing repair costs. In short, don't keep driving if this happens—ensure safety and address it promptly.

I've done quite a bit of DIY car repairs and encountered wiper clashes several times, usually caused by improperly installed wiper arms or deformed linkage components leading to chaotic movement. I remember one summer when high temperatures caused metal expansion, shifting screws and making the wipers fight each other, obscuring the windshield. The solution is simple and cost-effective: just tighten the mounting screws with tools or replace the wiper arm. It's also important to check the synchronization of the wiper motor, as older cars are prone to this issue. By the way, regularly lubricating the sliding tracks can prevent rust and extend their lifespan. Safety is crucial; spending five minutes checking before driving can prevent major troubles.

After years of driving, the main causes of wiper blade interference are often incorrect angles or aging/deformed components. Try manually adjusting the installation position or replacing the wiper arm. Don't overlook linkage mechanism issues, which can cause unsynchronized movement and affect visibility. Address these problems promptly to prevent worsening.

What to Do When the Remote Control Fails?

The solutions for a malfunctioning remote control are as follows: First, remove the battery cover of the remote control and check if the battery is low or dead. Replace it with a new battery if necessary. If the remote control still doesn't work after replacing the battery, remove the back cover of the remote control, use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the contacts on the circuit board, and then reassemble the remote control. The reasons for remote control failure are as follows: 1. Poor contact between the resistor ball on the remote key and the two sensing contacts on the ignition switch. 2. The remote control has been subjected to strong impact or dropped on a hard surface, causing the resistor inside the remote control to break or become demagnetized. 3. The remote control chip is damp or dirty, causing a short circuit or open circuit. 4. The resistance value of the remote control itself has changed, resulting in remote control failure.

Is it necessary to fasten the seat belt for Subject 2?

It is necessary to fasten the seat belt for Subject 2. Below are the precautions for getting into the car for Subject 2: 1. Getting into the car: When there is no time limit for starting, close the car door first after getting in, and check if the car is turned off, which is crucial. 2. Adjusting the seat: Press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot and hold it, grip the steering wheel with your right hand, and adjust the seat with your left hand until your left foot is slightly bent and can exert force. Also, check the seat's stability by moving it back and forth. Adjust the backrest to a 90-degree angle with your body and ensure its stability by testing it back and forth. Then, place your hand on your head to measure if the height is the same as during regular practice. If it's too low, adjust it with a seat cushion. 4. Adjusting the left and right rearview mirrors: Adjust them to the appropriate positions. Key points for adjusting the left rearview mirror: Place the horizontal line at the center of the mirror, then adjust the car's edge to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image. Key points for adjusting the right rearview mirror: Place the horizontal line at 2/3 of the mirror, then adjust the car's edge to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image. 5. Fastening the seat belt: After fastening the seat belt, test the clutch again by pressing it all the way down with your left foot. Ensure your left foot is slightly bent and can exert force; otherwise, readjust. Then, test the brake pedal and the accelerator to confirm everything is fine before starting the test.

Should You Release the Handbrake or Shift into Gear First When Starting the Car?

When starting the car, you should shift into gear first, then release the handbrake. On uneven roads, there may also be issues with the throttle or clutch. Shifting into gear before releasing the handbrake can prevent the car from rolling forward or backward, thus avoiding dangerous situations. The correct steps for starting the car are as follows: 1. Adjust the seat properly after getting in the car. An improper sitting posture may cause abnormalities while driving. 2. Start the engine, then observe whether there are any abnormalities in the indicator lights on the dashboard. 3. Press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot. If the clutch pedal is not fully depressed, it can easily damage the transmission gears. 4. Shift into first gear, then release the parking brake lever, i.e., the handbrake. 5. Release the clutch. 6. Gently press the accelerator.
