Why Can't the Steering Wheel of BAIC New Energy Turn?

[ElizaAnn]

Generally, after a vehicle is turned off, the steering wheel will automatically lock, which is a simple anti-theft feature. This situation does not occur every time the vehicle is started. Usually, after starting the vehicle with the key, it will naturally unlock. However, sometimes when parking, the steering wheel is positioned at a certain angle, and this angle happens to allow only the key to be turned to start the vehicle but not to unlock the steering wheel, resulting in the steering wheel not turning. In this case, the owner should gently turn the key with the right hand and lightly rotate the steering wheel with the left hand, and the steering wheel will naturally unlock. Other reasons are as follows: Dirty Power Steering Fluid: The hydraulic pump in a mechanical hydraulic power steering system is directly driven by the engine belt. Component Failure: In a mechanical hydraulic power steering system, if a mechanical component fails, it can also cause the car's steering wheel to suddenly become very hard to turn.
