Why Does the Car Air Conditioner Turn On Automatically?

3 Answers

Car air conditioner turning on automatically is usually because the air conditioner button was not turned off when the car was last turned off, or the air conditioner was set to automatic mode. Solutions: Turn off the A/C switch before turning off the car. The ventilation can be delayed or left on, so the next startup will remember the last state. Turning off the A/C before parking can also reduce the occurrence of air conditioner odors. Precautions for using car air conditioners: Note that the car air conditioning system is basically idle during winter. Before the initial startup, check the belt tension. After prolonged use, the air conditioning system should undergo dust and bacteria removal. After turning on the air conditioner for a while, observe the engine coolant temperature. If the temperature is high, stop the air conditioner promptly.

I also encountered the issue of the air conditioning turning on automatically in my previous car, which was quite annoying. It might be a problem with the air conditioning control module, or a faulty sensor sending incorrect signals. Another possibility is an electrical short circuit or misconnected wiring. Additionally, it could be a settings issue—many modern cars have an auto mode, and if the temperature is set incorrectly, the AC may start on its own. I once tried disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to reset the system, and it worked. Don’t delay fixing it for too long to avoid excessive battery drain and overall vehicle performance issues. It’s best to schedule regular maintenance to check the electrical circuits.

My air conditioning keeps turning on by itself, especially when waiting at a red light, suddenly blowing cold air that gives me a start. The main reasons are either the control buttons are stuck or dust is jammed, causing accidental activation; or the temperature inside the car changes too quickly, leading the sensor to misjudge and start the automatic mode. It's recommended to first clean the control panel and check if the settings are adjusted to manual. If not resolved for a long time, the battery might be drained, increasing the risk of leakage when parked. I've tried pulling the fuse to temporarily turn it off, but it's more reliable to have it checked by a professional.

Is the vehicle file mailed to the DMV or the individual?

Vehicle files are mailed to the vehicle owner. Vehicle file transfer refers to the process of relocating a vehicle's registration records from the local DMV during a used car transaction. The records can be transferred to a designated new registration location and owner, and once specified, changes are difficult to make. Vehicle file transfer and title transfer are procedures specifically for used cars and are only required in used car transactions. More details about vehicle file transfer are as follows: 1. Required documents: For vehicle file transfer, you need the vehicle's license, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle registration supplementary form (obtained from the local DMV where the vehicle is registered, requiring ID and license to retrieve), vehicle purchase tax certificate, current year's compulsory insurance policy, IDs of both buyer and seller, and if the buyer is from another region, a residence permit is required, which must be valid for at least one year. 2. Process: The approval for vehicle file transfer usually takes 3 working days, so it cannot be completed on the same day. The vehicle file will be mailed only after approval, depending on the efficiency of the local DMV and relevant regulations. The DMV's EMS mailing of the file generally takes about a week.

Is an Automatic Transmission Easier to Test Than a Manual Transmission?

Automatic transmission's Subject 2 test is generally easier than that of manual transmission. Compared to manual transmission, the main difference is that automatic transmission does not require clutch control, making it simpler. Additionally, during hill starts, manual transmissions may experience stalling, timeouts, or rolling back, whereas automatic transmissions do not stall. The similarity is that both require the driver to assess the vehicle's driving conditions. Below are the differences between manual and automatic transmissions: 1. Different learning costs: Automatic transmission courses are generally more expensive than manual transmission courses. This is because the purchase cost, usage cost, and maintenance cost of automatic transmission vehicles are higher than those of manual transmission vehicles. 2. Different permitted vehicle types: A manual transmission (C1) license allows driving small and micro passenger cars, light and micro trucks, light and micro special-purpose vehicles, and all vehicle types permitted under the C-class license. An automatic transmission (C2) license only permits driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars and light and micro automatic transmission trucks. 3. Different test items: Starting from June 1, 2021, the Subject 2 test for small automatic transmission cars will eliminate the "hill start and stop" item, meaning that the Subject 2 test for automatic transmission cars will have fewer items than that for manual transmission cars.

Will the car lights stay on after the key is removed?

After removing the car key, the lights may remain on for about 30 seconds before automatically turning off. This is because the headlights have a delayed shutdown feature after the vehicle is turned off. Car headlights, commonly known as headlamps, come in two types: low beam and high beam. Their main function is to provide illumination for nighttime driving. Low beams are used for city roads with streetlights, while high beams are for roads without streetlights or highways in rural areas. There is also a function to switch between low and high beams, which is used for signaling or overtaking. How car headlights work: The sensor, composed of electronic components like photoresistors, sends electronic signals to the ECU to control the turning on or off of the headlights and the switching between low and high beams. When driving, if the environment suddenly becomes dark, the headlights will automatically turn on. They will automatically turn off when there is sufficient light. During nighttime encounters with other vehicles, the headlights will also automatically switch between low and high beams. The role of car headlights: Automatic headlights can turn on when the owner forgets to switch them on, eliminating the need to manually toggle the switch when illumination is required. They can also automatically turn off based on the intensity of ambient light.

Where Should Water Not Enter a Car

Three areas in a car that are most vulnerable to water ingress: Area 1: Sunroof The sunroof is located on the roof. When rainwater flows onto it, the water will run along the sunroof channel towards the drain holes, then be discharged through drainage tubes typically hidden inside the A and C pillars. If the sunroof drain holes become clogged, accumulated water may overflow into the car interior. Another potential issue is the sealing rubber gasket. Area 2: Door During rainy weather, window glass and sealing rubber strips usually do a good job of keeping rainwater out. Water that seeps through gaps will enter the door cavity and flow out through drainage holes at the bottom of the door. However, if the door develops the same problems as the sunroof—clogged drainage holes, aged or loose sealing strips, or damaged rubber gaskets at the bottom drainage holes—it will prevent water from draining properly, allowing it to flow into the car floor and become a persistent nuisance. Area 3: Chassis The car chassis generally has drainage holes to allow water to escape after driving through water. If these drainage holes are blocked by debris or if the rubber gaskets around them have aged and fallen off, water can easily seep in after driving through water. Therefore, after driving through water, it's advisable to promptly lift the floor mats to check for any accumulated water. If found, it should be dried immediately, and the car chassis should be dehumidified.

Is there a service that delivers gasoline if my car runs out of fuel?

There are services that deliver gasoline when your car runs out of fuel. You can call the local road administration hotline to request assistance from staff who can deliver fuel, although a certain fee will apply. After your vehicle runs out of fuel, you should first move it to a safe area, turn on the hazard lights, and place a triangular warning sign 50-100 meters behind the vehicle. Wait for assistance at the location after making the call. More information about gasoline is as follows: Physical and Chemical Properties: Gasoline is a colorless to pale yellow, easily flowing liquid at room temperature, which is difficult to dissolve in water and is highly flammable. Its distillation range is between 30°C and 220°C. It becomes explosive when the air contains 74 to 123 grams per cubic meter and encounters a flame. Preparation Method: Gasoline is produced through the fractional distillation of crude oil and the cracking of heavy distillates. During crude oil processing, various units such as distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, catalytic reforming, and alkylation produce gasoline components, but with different octane ratings. For example, straight-run gasoline has a low octane rating and cannot be used alone as an engine fuel. Additionally, the sulfur content varies among different components. Therefore, gasoline components with high sulfur content require desulfurization refining. Subsequently, these gasoline components are blended, and high-octane components are added if necessary, resulting in a gasoline product that meets national standards.
