If the brake light switch is damaged and the car lacks power when accelerating, it needs to be replaced promptly. Here are methods to determine whether the brake disc needs replacement: 1. Listen for sounds: If there are abnormal noises when lightly pressing the brake, the brake pads must be replaced immediately. This is because the limit indicators on both sides of the brake pads have already directly rubbed against the brake disc, indicating that the brake pads have exceeded their limit. 2. Check the warning light: Typically, whether the brake disc warning light on the dashboard is illuminated serves as a basis for deciding whether to replace the brake disc. Normally, this indicator light is off. When the brake disc malfunctions or is excessively worn, the light will turn on and will turn off after repairs. 3. Check the thickness: Most brake disc products have wear indicators, with three small pits distributed on the disc surface. Use a vernier caliper to measure the depth of these pits, which is 1.5mm. When the total wear depth on both sides of the brake disc reaches 3mm, it is recommended to replace the brake disc promptly.

What are the symptoms of a faulty fan clutch?

The symptoms of a faulty fan clutch include high engine temperature and poor cooling performance. The working principle of a fan clutch is that when the engine temperature is low, the clutch automatically disengages, causing the fan to stop spinning. When the engine temperature rises above a certain threshold, the clutch automatically engages, and the fan starts spinning to regulate the temperature. If the fan clutch fails when the engine temperature increases, the radiator cannot effectively dissipate heat, leading to a rise in engine temperature. Methods to determine if the fan clutch is damaged: After turning off the engine, manually rotate the fan. If it does not turn smoothly, this is normal, indicating that the fan clutch is functioning properly. Alternatively, if the fan rotates very easily when the engine is cold, it also means the fan clutch is in good condition.
