I've been driving a Geely Borui for several years. The body control module is usually hidden under the carpet cover beneath the driver's seat. Lift that black plastic cover and you'll see a square box controlling lights, windows, anti-theft systems, etc. This concealed placement protects electronic components from vibration damage, but DIY disassembly may damage wiring - leading to AC failure or stuck door locks. Keep the area dry (avoid placing wet items) to prevent short circuits. If issues arise, don't risk DIY repairs; visit a 4S shop immediately for professional scanner diagnostics. Safety first. Note: BCM locations vary slightly across model years - post-2017 versions may relocate behind the glove compartment. Always check your owner's manual rather than guessing.

I've been working in auto repair for almost a decade. The body control module (BCM) of the Borui is usually located behind the right trim panel under the dashboard in the cabin. After finding the small box, unplug the connector before inspection. The location was chosen for convenient wiring and module control, but it's also prone to dust accumulation, which can cause poor contact and malfunctions, such as bulbs not lighting or wipers failing. During maintenance, always disconnect the negative battery terminal first to prevent electric shock. Use a multimeter to check the voltage, with a normal reading around 12V. If the BCM fails, the fuse usually blows first—check the corresponding number in the fuse box and don't replace it with the wrong type. If all else fails, have a professional shop diagnose it to avoid wasting money on unnecessary parts replacement.

I commute with my Borui, and last time the BCM had an issue causing the lights to flicker. At the shop, I found it located on the side of the driver's footwell, wrapped in a layer of foam. This component manages all the vehicle's electrical systems, positioned near the main control for quick response to commands. However, don't attempt to disassemble it yourself—the wiring harness is intricate, and you might accidentally break a wire. Just keep the interior clean to avoid water seepage that could cause rust. For simple maintenance like checking fuses, refer to the markings in the engine bay fuse box, and always turn off the power before starting.

Should the Left or Right Turn Signal Be Used When Reversing?

Reversing requires the use of the right turn signal. The act of a motor vehicle moving backward is defined as reversing. For large buses: Tests include pole parking, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, navigating curves, making right-angle turns, passing through a narrow gate, traversing continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making U-turns on narrow roads, as well as simulations for highways, continuous sharp turns on mountainous roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. For small cars: Tests include reverse parking, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, navigating curves, and making right-angle turns for small automatic transmission vehicles, small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for disabled individuals, and low-speed cargo vehicles. For three-wheeled vehicles: Tests include pole parking, stopping and starting on a slope, and crossing a single-plank bridge for ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles.

Is It Normal for the Hood to Get Hot After Parking?

This is a normal phenomenon. When the engine is running, the external temperature can reach over 90°C, and the exhaust pipe temperature can exceed 500°C. Additionally, the insulation layer and underbody panels on the hood can block heat dissipation, which is why the car hood remains hot long after the engine is turned off. Additional Information: Do Not Drive When the Engine Is Overheated: Under normal circumstances, if the engine overheats, the coolant temperature warning light on the vehicle's dashboard will illuminate. If the driver notices this, they should stop driving immediately. Engine Cooling: Some vehicles have an automatic cooling function. After parking, if the engine temperature is too high, the fan will automatically turn on to continue cooling the engine. Once the engine temperature drops to a reasonable level, the fan will stop automatically.

What are the main differences between the Vellfire and the Alphard?

The main differences between the Alphard and the Vellfire lie in their exterior design, configurations, and powertrain. The differences in exterior design include: Front grille: The Vellfire's front grille has a more sporty appearance, with a larger size and a layered layout, featuring separate upper and lower sections. The Alphard's front grille adopts a large tusk design style, with a more exaggerated shape, and the chrome trim on both sides extends to the headlights. The differences in configurations are minimal, such as: The Alphard has two additional features compared to the Vellfire—electric tailgate position memory and delayed headlight shut-off. The Vellfire, on the other hand, offers two more functions than the Alphard—keyless entry for the entire vehicle and rear multimedia controls. The differences in powertrain: Both models are equipped with a 2.5L hybrid version, while the Alphard also has a 3.5L naturally aspirated engine variant.

How many points are there on a driver's license in one year?

The total points on a driver's license in one year are 12. You can check the reasons for point deductions and the deducted points through five methods: traffic branch terminal inquiries, service website inquiries, phone inquiries, SMS inquiries, and tool inquiries for motor vehicle violation queries. According to Article 65 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139)', the cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is first issued. Based on the severity of road traffic violations, the points for a single violation are divided into five categories: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point. Article 66 states that penalties and point deductions for motor vehicle drivers' road traffic violations are executed simultaneously. If a motor vehicle driver commits more than one violation at a time, the points should be calculated separately and accumulated.
