The reasons why the Mitsubishi Pajero's taillight is not working include bulb damage, poor contact at the terminals, or a broken power line. A taillight is a white light placed as close as possible to the rear of the vehicle, displaying a continuous light. Taillights feature high luminous intensity with a reasonable light distribution, fast light rise time, long lifespan, maintenance-free operation, and low energy consumption. The Mitsubishi Pajero is an imported ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) produced by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation of Japan. In terms of body dimensions, the Mitsubishi Pajero measures 4900mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1900mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm.

I've encountered many cases where the Mitsubishi Pajero's taillights don't work, and the most common issue is burnt-out bulbs since taillights are constantly illuminated and prone to aging. First, check if the bulb is blackened or cracked. Replacing the taillight bulb on a Pajero isn't difficult—try swapping in a new bulb yourself. If that doesn't fix it, inspect the fuse: locate the taillight fuse in the vehicle's fuse box and replace it if blown. Wiring problems could also be the culprit, such as loose or corroded connectors, especially since off-road vehicles like the Pajero often traverse muddy terrain and are susceptible to damage. A faulty switch or relay is trickier to handle. Most importantly, don't overlook safety—driving at night without taillights is hazardous, risking rear-end collisions. I recommend keeping portable tools handy for troubleshooting or heading straight to a shop for professional diagnosis with proper equipment. Regularly cleaning the bulb socket during maintenance can also prevent issues. While the Pajero is rugged, its electrical components need careful upkeep.

As a Pajero owner, I once panicked when the taillights wouldn't light up, only to find out the bulb had burned out at the end of its lifespan. The simple solution is: first check the bulb's condition, and if it's burned out, buy the same model and replace it. Blown fuses are also common—just go to the engine compartment's fuse box, find the taillight fuse, and replace it with a spare. Wiring issues like loose connectors causing poor contact are frequent, especially since the Pajero's trunk wiring harness often gets crushed by cargo. Voltage instability can also lead to short circuits, so handle it carefully to avoid worsening the problem. A quick tip: there are now taillight diagnostic apps that connect to your phone via an OBD tool, making self-testing fast and cost-effective. Taillight failures aren't just about looks—they pose a serious safety risk, so I always pull over immediately to fix them. Regular maintenance like cleaning the lens and checking the wiring harness, plus keeping things dry, helps extend their lifespan.

Where is the Wuling Journey's Cabin Air Filter Located?

The Wuling Journey's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the front passenger side. Below are details regarding the replacement cycle and precautions for the cabin air filter: Cabin Air Filter Replacement Cycle: First, the filter should be cleaned or replaced if necessary. The frequency of cleaning depends on road conditions (dusty roads, etc.). It is recommended to clean it earlier rather than later. The cabin air filter must be correctly installed in its designated position. Operating the air conditioning system without the filter in place may degrade its dustproof performance. It is advisable to replace the cabin air filter twice a year. Precautions for Replacing the Cabin Air Filter: The cabin air filter tends to accumulate a significant amount of dust. Use tools like a rubber air blower or high-pressure air gun to remove loose dust. Never wash it with water, as this can easily render it unusable. Over time, the activated carbon filtration function of the cabin air filter diminishes. Therefore, you can purchase a compatible replacement filter from the automotive parts market.

What does it mean when the PCS light is on in a car?

When the PCS light is on in the car, it indicates that the Pre-Collision Safety System has been turned off. Here is an introduction to the Pre-Collision Safety System: Principle of Pre-Collision: The Pre-Collision System (PCS) uses a millimeter-wave radar sensor installed at the front of the vehicle. This radar automatically detects obstacles ahead and calculates the likelihood of a collision. If the system determines that a collision is highly probable, it will sound an alarm to alert the driver to take evasive action. At this point, other active safety devices will also be integrated, with Brake Assist (BA) entering a preparatory state to assist the driver in applying the brakes. Function of the Pre-Collision Safety System: The Pre-Collision Safety System can also automatically adjust a series of safety systems, including the Pre-Collision Brake Assist System, Emergency Steering Assist System, and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management System, to avoid collisions as much as possible. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, it will pre-tighten the front seat belts and activate the brakes to minimize damage.

Where are Trumpchi engines produced?

Trumpchi engines are independently developed in China. Below is an introduction to Trumpchi engines and the Trumpchi GS5 engine: Introduction to Trumpchi engines: GAC Trumpchi engines are independently developed in China. The first batch of Trumpchi engines were imported from Italy, and later they were produced at the GAC engine factory. After domestic production, direct injection and twin spark plugs were removed, but the high-speed performance remains excellent. With features like variable intake valves, variable intake manifolds, and an excellent dual four-spring design, the engine achieves quick and agile response. The Trumpchi engine originates from the Alfa Romeo 2.0 twin-spark engine, and through continuous improvements and R&D, the GAC Trumpchi engine was developed. Trumpchi GS5 engine: The prototype of the Trumpchi GS5 engine is the Alfa Romeo 156 engine, a 1.8 TwinSpark engine. Later, Trumpchi upgraded and modified this engine, redesigning the cylinder head and ignition system while incorporating numerous new technologies. This also made the parameters of the 1.8 VTML engine more powerful than those of the prototype.

How to Choose Automotive Antifreeze?

Automotive antifreeze selection methods are: 1. Pay attention to the lower the freezing point the better. The basic indicators of antifreeze are freezing point and boiling point. Generally, the selected antifreeze's freezing point should be at least 10 degrees Celsius lower than the local minimum temperature to prepare for sudden weather changes; 2. Emphasize anti-corrosion function. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant. Antifreeze prevents coolant from freezing and expanding to crack radiators or damage engine cylinders when parking in cold seasons. Antifreeze should be used year-round, not just in winter. In regular vehicle maintenance, engine antifreeze should be replaced every year, with higher replacement frequency for special vehicles.
