The thermostat switch in a car is located in the central control area of the vehicle. In older cars, the thermostat switch was installed on the radiator, but now they are all computer-controlled. Thermostat Switch: The function of the thermostat switch is to control the fan. When the radiator temperature reaches a certain value, it sends a signal to the computer to activate the fan, which helps dissipate heat from the condenser. Principle of the Car Thermostat Switch: It uses a high-quality disc-shaped bimetal strip as the temperature sampling element. The water temperature switch is installed at a sensitive location on the radiator to dynamically monitor the temperature changes of the water inside the radiator. It activates the fan to cool the water in the radiator, providing safety protection for the car engine.

What Causes the Harsh Sound of Car Brakes?

The reasons for the harsh sound of car brakes: 1. Brake pad wear: When a car has been used for many years or has traveled a long distance, the brake pads may age and wear out, leading to abnormal noise. In this case, the brake pads should be replaced at a 4S shop. 2. Foreign objects in the brake pads: If the car has passed through muddy or bumpy roads, small stones or other impurities may get stuck in the brake pads, causing friction and abnormal noise. This situation only requires cleaning the brake pads. 3. New brake pad break-in: When new brake pads are installed, abnormal noise may occur. This usually resolves after driving for a while to break them in. If the noise persists after some time, it is advisable to visit a 4S shop or repair shop for professional inspection.
