The cigarette lighter fuse in the Encore is located in the fuse box on the left side or lower left position of the instrument panel inside the vehicle. The cigarette lighter is a component found in all cars, designed to provide a flame source for smoking convenience. The power supply is generally 12V DC (may vary by model), with the central elastic head as the positive pole and the side clips (ears) as the negative pole. The Encore is a small SUV developed on GM's small crossover platform, featuring a coupe-style design rare among SUVs and excellent dynamic performance.

I've been driving the Encore for several years and have encountered the cigarette lighter fuse issue multiple times. It's usually located in the fuse box under the dashboard near the left side of the steering wheel. First, turn off the engine for safety, then open the small cover under the dashboard to locate the fuse marked 'cigarette lighter' or 'cig' - typically fuse number F20 or similar 20A fuse. Use tweezers to gently pull it out and check if it's blown. If blown, just buy a replacement of the same specification at a supermarket. Avoid using the cigarette lighter to charge high-power devices to prevent fuse burnout. Also, since the dashboard area is prone to moisture, it's best to regularly inspect and maintain the electrical circuits.

Cars equipped with rearview mirror heating function can use it to eliminate rain and fog on the mirrors. The purpose of adding rain deflectors to rearview mirrors is to prevent rainwater from staying on the mirrors during driving, which is like holding an umbrella for the mirrors. Rearview mirror heating is a built-in device in cars, the principle of which is to add electric heating wires to the mirrors. By heating these wires, the rainwater on the mirror surface can be eliminated. When using the rearview mirror heating function, make sure the car is in the started state. Prolonged use of the rearview mirror heating function may lead to insufficient battery power, and in severe cases, the car may fail to start normally.

Why doesn't the fuel pump make noise when the key is turned on?

The fuel pump is damaged. When the fuel pump fails to start and cannot establish oil pressure, the crankshaft sensor forcibly activates the pump during secondary ignition. Below is relevant information about fuel pumps: 1. Diaphragm-type fuel pump: The diaphragm-type fuel pump is a representative of mechanical fuel pumps, used in carburetor engines. It is generally driven by an eccentric wheel on the camshaft. The diaphragm-type fuel pump is characterized by its simple structure, but due to the influence of engine heat, special attention must be paid to ensuring its fuel delivery performance at high temperatures, as well as the durability of the rubber diaphragm against heat and fuel. 2. Electric fuel pump: Instead of being driven by the camshaft, it relies on electromagnetic force to repeatedly actuate the pump diaphragm. This type of electric pump allows for flexible installation positions and can prevent vapor lock. The main installation types of electric fuel pumps used in fuel-injected engines include being mounted in the fuel supply line or inside the fuel tank.

Is AMT an Automated Manual Transmission?

AMT refers to the Automated Manual Transmission, with its full name being Automated Mechanical Transmission. There are four common types of automotive automatic transmissions: Hydraulic Automatic Transmission (referred to as AT), Continuously Variable Transmission (referred to as CVT), Automated Mechanical Transmission (referred to as AMT), and Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). The following provides an introduction to the AMT transmission: 1. The Automated Mechanical Transmission (AMT) can determine the optimal gear based on parameters such as vehicle speed, throttle position, and driver commands. It automates the control of operations traditionally performed manually by the driver, including clutch engagement and disengagement, gear shifting via the gear lever, and synchronized adjustment of the engine throttle opening, ultimately achieving automated shifting. 2. The AMT retains the fundamental structure of the original mechanical transmission, offering advantages such as high transmission efficiency, compact design, low cost, ease of manufacturing, reliable operation, and convenient handling. Particularly, its fuel-saving characteristic makes it suitable for application in China's large and medium-sized buses and trucks.
