Too much impurities and dust attached to the condenser, resulting in poor cooling effect. More information about the sudden failure of the air conditioning to cool while driving is as follows: 1. Evaporator icing: When the car is driving at high speed, the water temperature of the engine cooling circulation system is relatively low, and the cooling effect of the air conditioning condenser is enhanced, causing the temperature of the air conditioning evaporator to be even lower. This may lead to icing on the surface of the evaporator, blocking the air intake of the air conditioning and causing it to stop cooling, with reduced air volume. 2. Alternate use of internal and external circulation: When using the air conditioning during high-speed driving, it is advisable to alternate between internal and external circulation. On one hand, this can maintain fresh air inside the car, and on the other hand, it can prevent the air conditioning evaporator from icing and affecting cooling.

What is the reason for the car battery light flashing on and off?

When the car battery indicator light flickers on and off while driving, it may indicate a malfunction. Possible causes: The intermittent illumination of the charging indicator light reflects unstable charging current from the alternator. The potential faulty components mainly include the alternator, voltage regulator, and power supply circuits. If the horn behaves abnormally when the engine speed is high, it suggests that the alternator's output voltage decreases at higher speeds. This could be due to weak alternator brush springs, where increased vibration at higher speeds leads to poor contact and voltage drop. Fault analysis: Excessive wear of the brushes may result in insufficient spring tension, causing poor contact and vibration between the brushes and slip rings, which can lead to slip ring burning. As the slip ring surface becomes rough, the poor contact condition worsens at higher alternator speeds compared to lower speeds. Consequently, the alternator may fail to generate electricity or produce lower voltage at high speeds.

Why can't the car key turn and the engine won't start?

The reason why the car key can't turn and the engine won't start after inserting the key is that the steering wheel lock is jamming the key. Unlocking method: When the steering wheel is locked and the car key can't turn, hold the steering wheel with your left hand and gently shake it while simultaneously turning the key left and right with your right hand to unlock it. Steering wheel lock mechanism: After the car is turned off, if you rotate the steering wheel from its centered position to one side (usually to the left) by a certain angle, the steering wheel will make a "click" sound and lock into place. In this locked state, the steering wheel won't move and the key can't turn. To unlock, hold the steering wheel with your left hand, gently shake it while simultaneously wiggling the key with your right hand.

What are the consequences of disconnecting the positive terminal of a car battery?

The consequence of disconnecting the positive terminal of a car battery is that the battery will stop supplying power, some functions of the car may fail, and factory settings might be restored. Battery discharge: If the battery is discharged, the car will be difficult to start, and a charger can be used to recharge it. During long-term parking of the car, it is necessary to start the vehicle regularly, preferably once a week, allowing the car to idle for a period of time so that the internal alternator can charge the battery. Driving techniques: Due to driving techniques, some car owners may stall the car frequently, leading to repeated starts. The ignition time should not exceed 3 seconds. If the engine fails to start once, avoid repeated ignition attempts. Instead, wait for a 15-second interval before trying again. Otherwise, frequent supply of high current from the battery to the starter will cause its own wear and tear.

Can All Four Subjects of the D License Be Taken in One Day?

Obtaining a motorcycle license (D license) differs from ABC-class driver's licenses, as all subjects can be completed on the same day. The examination fees are not fixed, ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand yuan depending on the location. Below are the precautions for the computer-based test: 1. Verify Information: Before the exam, the system administrator has already entered the candidate's information into the corresponding computer. Upon entering the examination room, candidates only need to sit at the designated workstation as instructed by the invigilator. There is no need to input personal information again; simply verify and confirm, then press the 'Start Exam' button to begin. 2. Click Gently: During the exam, press the keys with moderate force and click gently. Applying too much force or holding the key down for too long may result in continuous answers. If this occurs, press the 'Previous Question' button to return to the original question interface and answer again.

Can Pickup Trucks Drive on Elevated Roads?

Pickup trucks are not allowed on elevated roads. Reasons: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Regulations," trucks are prohibited from driving on elevated roads, and pickup trucks are classified as trucks, hence they are not permitted on elevated roads. A pickup truck is a light-duty cargo vehicle featuring an open cargo box behind the cab, with the side panels of the cargo box integrated into the cab. It resembles a sedan in the front and serves as a dual-purpose passenger-cargo vehicle with a cargo box at the rear. The following vehicles are prohibited from entering elevated roads: Non-motorized vehicles, motorcycles, fuel-powered assist vehicles, electric (two-wheel, three-wheel, four-wheel) vehicles that do not meet national standards, low-speed cargo trucks, three-wheeled motor vehicles, tractors, medium-duty (and above) cargo trucks.

How Many Kilowatt-Hours of Electricity Does a Car Battery Have?

Car battery capacity is generally 80 kilowatt-hours. In-car electricity usage: Maintaining the vehicle battery, such as not listening to the radio loudly, charging mobile phones, or using air pumps when the engine is off, as prolonged use can easily drain the battery. Frequent battery drainage significantly reduces its lifespan. Long-distance highway driving: Regular highway driving has many benefits, not only clearing vehicle carbon deposits but also fully charging the battery. Generally, driving on the highway for more than an hour can fully charge the battery, keeping it in optimal condition. Avoid prolonged inactivity: If the car is not used for an extended period, the battery cable should be disconnected, or the vehicle should be started and driven for several dozen kilometers every two weeks to ensure the battery remains functional. High-power electrical connections: Many car appliances nowadays, such as car refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and air pumps, have high instantaneous power consumption. Do not power them directly from the car battery.
