There are four main reasons why a car door won't close, as outlined below: 1. Remote locking device malfunction: You can try using the mechanical key to lock the door. 2. Strong electromagnetic interference affecting the remote key's locking function: Remote keys operate the car door locks via radio waves, and interference can prevent normal door locking. 3. Door lock damage: If the remote key fails to lock the door and the mechanical key also doesn't work, the door lock may be damaged and require replacement or repair. 4. Misalignment of door hinges or lock latches: In such cases, it's best to visit a specialized repair shop, as handling it personally can be quite troublesome.

Should Car Jumper Cables Be 3 Meters or 4 Meters?

Car jumper cables are generally about 3 meters long. They should not be too long, as excessive length increases resistance and consumes power; nor should they be too short, as insufficient length makes connection difficult. The specific method for using car jumper cables is as follows: Connect positive to positive: Clamp the red cable of the jumper wire onto the red positive terminal of the "rescued vehicle," then clamp the other end of the red cable onto the red positive terminal of the "rescuer vehicle." Connect negative to negative: Clamp the black cable onto the black negative terminal of the "rescued vehicle," then clamp the black cable onto the black negative terminal of the "rescuer vehicle." Remove in order: First start the engine of the "rescuer vehicle," then start the engine of the "rescued vehicle." If the rescued vehicle still fails to start, check for poor metal contact. After successfully starting the engine, the jumper cables must be removed in order; otherwise, a short circuit may occur.

What are the new regulations for vehicle annual inspections?

2021 vehicle annual inspection new regulations are as follows: Six items have been canceled: power performance testing, speedometer error testing, interior noise testing, electronic parking brake testing, headlight offset testing, and suspension testing. Expansion of the six-year exemption from inspection: The exemption is extended to 7-9 seat vehicles within six years; based on the existing exemption for non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles with fewer than 6 seats within 6 years, the exemption is further expanded to include non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years. Optimization of inspection cycles: Private cars only need to undergo two on-site inspections within 10 years; for non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but under 10 years, the inspection cycle is relaxed from once a year to once every two years, meaning private cars only need two on-site inspections within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. For vehicles over 15 years old, the rules remain unchanged, requiring inspections every six months.

How many kilometers should a car run daily to avoid damage?

In urban areas, it is recommended that a car should not exceed 450 kilometers per day; if driving on highways, it is best not to exceed 650 kilometers per day. Here are some precautions for car driving: Cold engine warm-up: Proper warm-up can help the engine oil form an "oil film" between engine components, thereby reducing wear and tear on engine parts. Timely gear shifting: When driving a manual transmission vehicle during the break-in period, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect behaviors such as high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM, and do not use a single gear for an extended period. Regular maintenance: Simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual, and after reaching a certain mileage or time, promptly conduct vehicle inspections and maintenance, including oil changes, oil filter replacements, and a comprehensive check of the chassis system. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the shock load on the vehicle's chassis and engine.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Charging an Electric Car Charger?

Electric car charger abnormal noise during charging is caused by the following reasons: Long-term use of the electric car charger: The battery charger is equipped with a fan for heat dissipation. Over time, dust accumulation on the fan or insufficient lubrication in the fan bearings can lead to loud noises. Adding lubricating oil to the fan bearings can resolve this issue. Filter capacitor failure: Failure of the front-end filter capacitor increases ripple, which is usually accompanied by a decrease in charging current. The electric vehicle charger also generates heat, and to prevent overheating damage, a fan is often installed inside for cooling. Similar to a computer cooling fan, the noise is minimal initially due to sufficient lubrication, but as usage time increases, dust accumulation reduces the lubrication effect, leading to increased noise.

What Causes Abnormal Noise When Accelerating?

Abnormal noise when accelerating can be caused by the following reasons: Fuel Pump Issues: Problems with the car's fuel pump can produce abnormal noises. Additionally, throttle valve issues may also cause noise when pressing the accelerator. Furthermore, insufficient lubrication of the accelerator pedal bearings can result in noise when the driver presses the pedal. However, if the noise is due to poor lubrication, simply applying grease to the bearings can resolve the issue. Driveshaft Problems: Excessive clearance in components like the driveshaft, poor lubrication, or improper assembly during repairs can cause friction noises when high torque is output. On the right side of the engine, the noise is usually from the generator belt. On the left side, it's typically a throttle valve issue. Abnormal noises can be categorized based on their impact on vehicle performance into minor, moderate, and severe noises.

What Causes the Car Key to Fail to Lock the Doors?

Reasons why a car key fails to lock the doors: key malfunction, magnetic field interference, and door jammers. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: Key malfunction: If using a remote key to lock the doors, the remote lock may malfunction or the antenna of the car's remote transmitter may have aged, causing the remote key to fail. In such cases, the spare mechanical key can be used for locking. Magnetic field interference: Strong magnetic field signals around the car can interfere with the smart key, which operates using low-intensity radio waves. If the key fails to work due to magnetic interference, drive the car a short distance and then use the key to lock the doors. Door jammers: If the car frequently fails to lock remotely in a certain location, be wary of door jammers. Criminals may use radio signal jammers that emit electromagnetic waves at the same frequency as the car's locking signal, thereby blocking the electronic code of the central locking system and temporarily disabling it. In such cases, visit a 4S shop for inspection and removal.
