Generator is not generating electricity the simplest check method is to verify whether the AVR wiring is correct and secure. Below are specific issues that may arise when a generator malfunctions: 1. Dimming of vehicle lights or dashboard lights: The alternator is part of the vehicle's electrical system. Its primary function is to supply power to operate the starter, ignition, and all electronic accessories in the car. If the generator is damaged, the vehicle lights or dashboard lights may begin to dim. Once the dashboard lights or headlights become dim, this is a clear sign of potential alternator failure. 2. Damage to the battery or accumulator: A car battery, which the generator supplements, can only be charged up to the point where it can accept a charge.

Why Are the Brake Lights Still On When the Car Is Off?

If the brake lights remain on when the car is turned off, it is most likely due to a faulty brake switch. Here is some knowledge about brake lights: 1. Principle of brake lights: In simple car models, power flows through a fuse to the brake switch. When the brake pedal is pressed, the switch connects, sending electricity to the two brake lights and one high-mounted brake light, completing the circuit through the negative wire connected to the car body. 2. Function of brake lights: Brake lights are bright and highly visible, primarily used to alert following vehicles that the car is slowing down or stopping. Incorrect use or malfunction of brake lights can easily lead to rear-end collisions.

How Often Should Car Tires Be Inflated Normally?

Car tires generally need to be inflated every six months. Below are the maintenance methods for tires and how to check tire pressure: Maintenance methods for car tires: Ensure proper inflation pressure. In winter, appropriately increase the tire inflation pressure to reduce tire wear and consumption; control driving speed. When it's cold, if you start the car after parking, because the tires are relatively stiff, you must drive at a lower speed after starting; strengthen protection and cleaning; pay attention to wear indicators. If the tires show significant wear, replace them promptly. Methods to check tire pressure: Vehicle user manual; the door edge at the position of the co-pilot's B-pillar; the gasoline cap; call the 4S store to inquire with the staff.
