If only the green light on the gear lever is not working, it can be confirmed that the LED light control module is faulty. The following are specific solutions: 1. Check the faulty part: If it is within the warranty period, do not attempt to repair it yourself or go to a repair shop. Instead, go directly to a 4S store and let the maintenance technician check the faulty part. 2. Check the wiring: This fault is generally caused by a wiring issue with the gear indicator's light-emitting diode or poor contact between the shift module's wires and connectors. Check the wiring or replace the damaged light-emitting diode. 3. Check the power supply fuse: Check the power supply fuse. The diode is powered by a 7.5A fuse. Check if the fuse is burnt out. If it is damaged, replace it directly.

I often drive automatic transmission cars and have encountered situations where the gear indicator light doesn't illuminate but shifting works normally. There could be several possible reasons, such as a burnt-out bulb or LED light - those small indicator bulbs are prone to aging and dim over time. Additionally, a fuse might have blown, especially during high summer temperatures when they're more likely to melt. Check your manual to locate the fuse position for the gear indicator light. Poor wiring connections could also be a factor - loose plugs or dust accumulation in the sockets, which can be fixed with cleaning. While it doesn't affect driving, not being able to see the gear position at night may lead to mistakes like parking in D gear, increasing rear-end collision risks. I recommend first checking the fuses and bulbs yourself, and if that doesn't work, visit a professional shop. Also, consider regular maintenance of your vehicle's lighting system to extend its lifespan.

What to Do When the Car Remote is Locked Inside the Car?

Solutions for when the car remote is locked inside the car are as follows: 1. If the car key is locked inside the car, you can use a spare key. 2. If there is no spare key, you can only call a professional locksmith or the after-sales service of a 4S store to unlock the car. 3. If you are in a remote location where the above two options are difficult to implement, you may resort to a more drastic measure, such as breaking a window to open the door. Below is a brief introduction on how to avoid locking the car key inside the car: (1) Before leaving the car, always check if the car key is in your hand. (2) For owners of cars that use a physical key to start, remember to remove the key and take it with you after turning off the engine. (3) For owners of cars with a push-button start, it is best to keep the key in a clothing pocket or a personal bag at all times, using the keyless entry function to open and close the car door, and avoid casually holding the key in your hand to prevent leaving it behind.

What to Do When the Brake Pedal Can't Be Depressed and the Car Won't Start?

The solutions for when the brake pedal can't be depressed and the car won't start are as follows: 1. It may be due to a leak in the vehicle's brake booster pump or a component failure. Without the booster's assistance, the driver will find it very hard and strenuous to press the brake pedal. If pressing the brake pedal multiple times doesn't restore normal function, the driver should seek out a nearby repair shop to fix the issue before continuing to drive. 2. Because the car's braking system is a hydraulic system. To ensure the brake pads press firmly against the brake disc, a significant amount of force is required. This force is very tiring to apply solely by human effort (foot), so the car's braking system includes a "vacuum booster" system. Simply put, it uses the engine's force (the vacuum suction from the intake system when the engine is running) to assist the movement of the brake pedal.

What size tires can be fitted on 15-inch rims?

15-inch rims can accommodate tires of various sizes depending on the width of the rim in inches. Typically, a 15-inch rim has a width of 6 inches, making it suitable for 185mm wide tires. Alternatively, 195mm wide tires can also be used, which can further enhance braking performance and steering capabilities. Tires are a crucial component of a vehicle, being the only part that makes direct contact with the road, directly impacting the vehicle's driving stability and safety. As rubber products, tires require regular replacement. Together with the vehicle's suspension system, tires help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring a comfortable ride and smooth driving experience.

What does it mean when the car's engine light comes on?

Reasons for the car's engine light coming on: 1. Poor quality gasoline not only leads to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, producing excessive carbon deposits, but also poses risks of clogging the fuel system and corroding components, directly affecting the normal concentration of the air-fuel mixture, resulting in the engine light illuminating accompanied by shaking; 2. Carbon buildup on spark plugs causes poor engine performance, manifesting as difficulty starting, unstable idle, poor acceleration, backfiring during rapid acceleration, and excessive exhaust emissions; 3. Engine misfire leads to increased fuel consumption, black smoke emission, lack of power during acceleration, severe shaking, increased engine noise, and a higher likelihood of stalling, causing the engine light to come on.

Can the car door be opened when the car battery is dead?

Yes, the car door can be opened when the car battery is dead. The car door can be opened and closed through the electric control lock. The power source of the electric control lock is the battery. When the battery is dead, the electric control lock loses power, but you can manually open a manual control lock next to the locked door handle, and then pull the lever to open the door from the inside. The battery is an indispensable part of the car, which can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. The structure of the car lead-acid battery mainly consists of positive (negative) plates, separators, electrolyte, case, connecting strips, and terminals. If the battery is not used for a long time, it will slowly discharge by itself until it is scrapped. Therefore, the car should be started at regular intervals to charge the battery.

What are the reasons why a motor vehicle won't start?

Reasons why a motor vehicle won't start: 1. The engine doesn't turn over, which may be caused by insufficient power due to battery leakage, requiring inspection of the electrical system; 2. Blocked oil and gas pipelines, such as a malfunctioning carburetor or fuel pump, or clogged fuel lines and exhaust pipes, can prevent the engine from starting; 3. The spark plug doesn't fire, possibly due to a damaged spark plug or a short circuit in the high-voltage wire; 4. Internal engine failure, such as cylinder damage or poor valve sealing, can also cause starting failure; 5. The engine is frozen, especially in winter, when many vehicles are prone to freezing and failing to start.
