If the brake lights remain on after the car is turned off, it is highly likely that there is a fault with the brake light switch. Replacing the brake light switch generally involves the following steps: 1. Remove the cover panel. The brake light switch is usually located above the brake pedal, so the first step is to remove the cover panel, which is the base plate above the brake, clutch, and accelerator pedals. 2. Rotate the switch counterclockwise. After removing the cover panel, you can see the brake light switch above the brake pedal. The switch is a twist-lock type and can be pulled out by rotating it counterclockwise. 3. Install the new brake light switch. Similarly, insert the new switch into the twist-lock hole and rotate it clockwise to secure it. 4. Reinstall the cover panel, following the reverse order of removal. 5. After replacement, test the brake system to ensure the brake lights function properly.

Will 75% Alcohol Self-Ignite in a Car?

Whether 75% alcohol will self-ignite in a car mainly depends on whether the temperature inside the car exceeds 20 degrees. If it exceeds the ignition point of 75% alcohol, self-ignition may occur. Therefore, it is generally recommended not to leave alcohol in the car during summer. Below are precautions for placing items in a car: Minimize power banks: Accidents caused by power bank explosions leading to fires are surely something everyone has heard of. Since power banks are typically structured with 18650 batteries or other types of lithium-ion batteries, these batteries pose a risk of explosion under high temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid placing food: During hot summers, try not to leave food in the car for too long. As is well known, all food is difficult to store and keep fresh in high-temperature environments. The interior of a car in summer is like a 'big steamer,' making food prone to spoilage, which can easily lead to illness if consumed.

What is the Difference Between Metallic Paint and Regular Paint for Cars?

Metallic Paint and Regular Paint for Cars: The differences between metallic paint and regular paint include the addition of metal in metallic paint, the harder finish of metallic paint, and the price difference between the two. Details are as follows: Metallic Paint Contains Metal: The biggest difference between metallic paint and regular paint is the addition of metal powder in metallic paint. This not only gives the painted surface a sparkling appearance but also causes the car's color and even its contours to change when viewed from different angles due to light refraction. Metallic Paint Has a Harder Finish: Because metallic paint contains metal particles, its hardness is increased, making it less prone to scratches. In contrast, regular paint does not contain metal powder, making it more susceptible to scratches from road debris during high-speed driving. When cleaning a car with regular paint, it is essential to avoid using dry or wet cloths for wiping; instead, rinse with plenty of water to prevent scratches from dust or cloth. The harder finish of metallic paint also enhances the car's sense of depth, giving it a more three-dimensional appearance. Price Difference Between the Two: The manufacturing cost of metallic paint is higher than that of regular paint. The addition of metal powder improves the paint's effect, which naturally results in a higher price.
