Where is the Central Control Box of Wuling Hongguang Located?
3 Answers
The central locking system of the Wuling Hongguang is located below the steering wheel and can be seen by looking down. The full name of the central locking system is Central Control Door Lock, which is an automotive accessory. It allows remote opening and locking of doors without inserting the key into the lock. The system consists of a door lock switch, an actuator, and a controller. The main functions of the central locking system are as follows: Central Control: When the driver locks the door beside them, all other doors are simultaneously locked. The driver can open all doors via the door lock switch or open a specific door individually. Speed Control: When the vehicle reaches a certain speed, all doors automatically lock to prevent passengers from accidentally opening the doors by operating the door handles. Individual Control: In addition to the door beside the driver, other doors are equipped with separate spring lock switches, allowing independent control of the opening and locking of each door.
I remember when I first drove the Wuling Hongguang, I encountered some air conditioning issues and went to look for the central control box myself. It is usually hidden behind the instrument panel, specifically under the dashboard on the passenger side, and you need to remove the glove compartment panel to see it. After opening the panel, you'll find wiring and a fuse box inside, with the control box nearby, about the size of a fist. If you're doing it yourself, it's best to disconnect the battery's negative terminal first to prevent short circuits and damage to the wiring. I've found that many minor issues originate here, such as button malfunctions or aging wiring. A quick check during regular maintenance can help avoid major repairs. For more complex faults, it's better to go to a 4S shop, as DIY repairs can easily lead to mistakes. In short, the location isn't hard to find, but make sure the car is parked safely before you start working.
As someone who frequently works on car repairs, I've dealt with many Wuling Hongguang center console issues. The control box is mostly located on the left side of the dashboard near the driver's footwell. To remove it, you need to unscrew the lower panel screws or lift the interior cover from the passenger side. It's connected to the air conditioning fan module and audio controller, so regularly check the fuse condition. Common faults include water ingress in the module or poor contact. Wear gloves to protect your hands during operation and use a multimeter to check if the voltage is normal. It's recommended to clean dust buildup every six months to prolong component lifespan. If inexperienced, don't insist on saving money by DIY - seek professional help to avoid bigger problems. Most importantly, ensure safety by working only when the vehicle is parked.
