Car sun visor cannot reset because the internal spring is damaged, replacing the spring can solve the problem. The sun visor is installed on the front windshield of the car, designed to avoid dazzling sunlight. It can be moved back and forth to adjust the intensity of sunlight on the eyes, preventing traffic accidents. The sun visor prevents strong light from entering the car, especially in summer, it helps reduce the heat inside the car. By blocking sunlight, the sun visor also prevents damage to leather seats and the dashboard from UV rays. Additionally, the car sun visor can block people's view, increasing privacy and improving the safety of items inside the car.

After driving for so many years, I often encounter the issue of the sun visor getting stuck and not retracting properly. The main reasons include the small internal springs aging and losing effectiveness, weakening or breaking over time. Another cause is the accumulation of dust and grease in the clips or joints, making them less flexible. Sometimes, small items like slips of paper or hair can get stuck in the reset mechanism. I've also noticed that temperature changes play a role—thermal expansion in summer makes the gaps smaller, increasing the likelihood of jamming. Additionally, frequent adjustments can wear down the plastic parts, causing looseness and instability, which also prevents proper resetting. It's advisable to regularly clean the edges and joints of the sun visor and apply some lubricant. If that doesn't work, avoid forcing it to prevent further damage. It's best to visit a professional shop for replacement or repair to prevent the sun visor from wobbling and obstructing your view while driving.

As a regular car owner, I find it quite annoying when the sun visor won't retract properly—it affects driving visibility and is distracting. Common issues include the reset slot or hook being clogged with debris like dust or small fallen objects; weakened springs lacking the force to return to position; or plastic components becoming deformed and misaligned after prolonged use. I've tried cleaning the joints with a small brush and applying WD-40 for relief. If it still won't reset, driving with glaring sunlight poses significant safety risks. I recommend having a technician check it during routine maintenance rather than delaying until an accident occurs. This simple maintenance can extend its lifespan, saving both time and money.

The failure of the sun visor to return to its original position is usually attributed to mechanical jamming or failure, with spring fatigue and breakage being the primary issues. Wear and rust of the clips or foreign objects blocking the reset path are also common. During routine maintenance, check if the joint moves smoothly, remove dust, and apply light oil. If ineffective, replacing the component is a simple and low-cost solution that does not affect driving. Keeping it clean to prevent problems is key.

Can Windshield Washer Fluid Replace Antifreeze?

Windshield washer fluid cannot replace antifreeze. Windshield washer fluid mainly has cleaning, decontamination, anti-fog, and anti-freeze functions, especially useful in cold weather to ensure the front windshield remains clean and provides clear visibility for safe driving. Antifreeze primarily serves cooling and anti-corrosion purposes, ensuring it doesn't freeze in low temperatures and maintains the cooling system's normal operation to cool the engine during operation. Summer-specific windshield washer fluid contains insect-removing agents to quickly eliminate insect residues on the windshield. There is also a winter-specific anti-freeze windshield washer fluid that prevents freezing and damage to car equipment even when temperatures drop below -2 degrees Celsius. Another type is an ultra anti-freeze formula that remains unfrozen at temperatures as low as -4 degrees Celsius.

Why Does the Battery Get Hot?

A hot battery may be caused by excessive current during operation, which can lead to a sharp drop in voltage and also cause the battery to heat up. The battery is a crucial component in a car. When the engine is not running, the battery supplies power to all the vehicle's electronic devices and is also responsible for starting the engine. During engine startup, the starter motor, fuel supply system, and ignition system all require power, all of which rely on the battery. After the engine starts, the alternator takes over to power the vehicle's electronic devices and also charges the battery. The battery is a wearable part that needs regular replacement. Typically, a car battery lasts 3 to 4 years, but many batteries fail before reaching this lifespan due to improper usage habits of the owner.

How Do Hybrid Vehicles Work?

Hybrid vehicles are equipped with two power sources simultaneously, combining a traditional gasoline or diesel engine with a battery and electric motor. By utilizing an electric motor in hybrid vehicles, the powertrain can be flexibly regulated according to the actual operating conditions of the vehicle, keeping the engine operating within the optimal range of comprehensive performance, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Hybrid models rely on the rotation of the electric motor for initial acceleration, eliminating the vibrations associated with internal combustion engine operation, resulting in smoother driving. Even when the engine engages, hybrid models remain smoother than conventional versions because the electric motor can use its stepping characteristics to generate current, compensating for the vibrations produced by the traditional internal combustion engine during operation. Additionally, during driving, the noise transmitted from the engine compartment is almost imperceptible in hybrid models.
