The reasons why the Buick Excelle does not respond when starting are: 1. The battery is dead or faulty. Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage. In low temperatures, the battery's output power decreases due to increased electrolyte viscosity, reduced permeability, and increased resistance, making it difficult for the starter to crank the engine to the minimum starting speed, thus affecting engine ignition. 2. Spark plug damage. Check if the spark plug is aged or heavily carbon-fouled. 3. Poor contact in the high-voltage wire. Use a multimeter to test whether the resistance is normal. 4. No fuel. Press the fuel line while starting to feel if there is fuel pressure. 5. Ignition circuit failure. Use a multimeter to check for open circuits. 6. The vehicle is too old, and the fuel line is severely aged, causing insufficient fuel supply during startup and failure to ignite.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning?

Tire pressure warning reset methods are as follows: 1. After the tire pressure warning light comes on, first ensure the vehicle is parked safely by the roadside, and check the tire pressure monitoring function on the car's navigation screen for any abnormal wheel readings. 2. Upon confirming an issue with a wheel, inspect the current tire pressure condition. If the warning is due to overinflation, slightly release air to reach the safe tire pressure value. When a tire pressure symbol is displayed, press the confirm button to reset. 3. If the tire pressure is shown as too low, reset the system and drive the vehicle for a while. 4. After completing these steps, the tire pressure warning will be reset.

What Does a Back-House Vehicle Mean? Is It Legal?

Back-house vehicle refers to a car that cannot be transferred, and buying such a vehicle is illegal. According to the "Resident Identity Card Law of the People's Republic of China," renting, lending, or transferring a resident identity card is illegal. Therefore, profit-driven "back-house" practices are unlawful. Agreements for selling vehicles through such backdoor methods are also not protected by law. Below is an introduction to back-house vehicles: Definition: A back-house vehicle is one that cannot be transferred. It may be a completely normal car with all necessary documents, valid annual inspections, and insurance, but it simply cannot be transferred. Reasons: The license plate's registered location is too far away, making the transfer process too costly; the vehicle might be used as collateral for debt, possibly multiple times; the original owner has passed away, and the vehicle was not deregistered; in areas with purchase restrictions, the license plate and vehicle are transferred together; vehicles from outside the region cannot be registered locally due to migration restrictions; some scammers may sell commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use as back-house vehicles at low prices. Note: If the current owner flees after a traffic accident, the police will not pursue the current owner's responsibility but will instead attribute it to the original owner. The original owner may be liable for medical expenses, nursing costs, and other compensations; in severe cases, they may also face legal consequences.

Can a Flooded Car Battery Still Be Used?

In most cases, it can be used after the water has dried. Below is relevant information about car batteries: Introduction: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to lead-acid batteries, which are mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Working Principle: It uses lead plates filled with sponge-like lead as the negative electrode, lead plates filled with lead dioxide as the positive electrode, and 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy. When discharging, metallic lead serves as the negative electrode, undergoing oxidation to form lead sulfate, while lead dioxide serves as the positive electrode, undergoing reduction to also form lead sulfate. When charging with direct current, the two electrodes generate lead and lead dioxide, respectively. After the power source is removed, it returns to its pre-discharge state, forming a chemical battery.
