If the short-circuit time is very short, there is no big problem. However, if it lasts for a long time, the wires may melt, internal high temperatures may cause melting, the plates may deform, the battery may swell and fail, and even cause a fire accident. The following is additional information: Solutions for a burned car battery: Remove the battery, charge it once with a charger, clean the corrosion at the connection points, and reinstall the battery. Use a multimeter to measure the contact resistance at the battery terminals. If it exceeds 100 milliohms, the contact resistance is too high, and you should replace or clean the terminals. If not, you can only replace the battery. Causes of a burned car battery: Circuit short-circuit: The car interior contains many complex electronic components and circuits. Once a short-circuit occurs, not only will the electronic components be damaged, but the battery may also burn out. Excessive charging voltage: Most battery failures are caused by prolonged excessive charging voltage. Electrolyte loss: The battery contains electrolyte. Once leakage occurs, it indicates the need for immediate replacement; otherwise, it will lead to other circuit failures. Long-term complete discharge of the battery: Frequent and prolonged complete discharges of the battery will accelerate its aging, thereby shortening its lifespan.

A safe distance should be maintained between motor vehicles, so the responsibility for the accident should be determined based on the specific circumstances. The following is an introduction to accidents caused by not using turn signals: 1. Article 76 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: For personal injury, death, or property loss caused by a traffic accident involving a motor vehicle, the insurance company shall compensate within the limit of the compulsory third-party liability insurance for motor vehicles, and the insufficient part shall be borne by the parties involved. 2.

Where to Go for Car Waxing?

You can go to a 4S shop, car wash shop, or repair shop for car waxing. Here are some precautions for car waxing: 1. During the waxing process, absolutely avoid scratching the car paint. It is best to remove watches, rings, and other accessories. 2. Ensure the working environment is clean and well-ventilated. 3. Waxing should be done in a shady and dust-free area to prevent high surface temperature, which reduces the adhesion of the wax and affects the waxing effect. Dust on the car body can easily cause scratches. 4. When waxing, the manual sponge or waxing machine sponge should move in straight lines back and forth, not in circular motions, to avoid uneven coating and strong circular diffusion. The waxing process should be completed continuously without interruptions.

What Causes Internal Engine Noise?

Reasons for internal engine noise: It could be due to loose screws on the engine underguard or loose plastic parts in the engine compartment, which can be fixed by tightening; or it might be caused by aging engine mounts, which support the engine and can only be replaced in such cases. Under normal conditions, when the engine is idling, only a uniform and slight exhaust sound should be audible. Engine noises can be categorized by location into main engine noise and accessory noise. If the noise disappears after loosening the fan belt, it indicates the noise is related to the water pump, generator, or their rotating components. If the noise stops after loosening the air compressor belt, then the noise is from the air compressor or its related components. If the noise persists after loosening all drive belts, the issue is likely with the main engine.

How to Start an Automatic Car with One-Button Start?

Automatic car one-button start method: Step on the brake, press the start button once to ignite and start the engine, then you can drive. One-button start, different from traditional mechanical key ignition and conventional starting procedures, allows you to start or stop the engine by simply pressing the one-button start key, eliminating the hassle of losing or searching for keys. Most one-button start systems require stepping on the foot brake during ignition. The working principle of the keyless start system: This system uses the most advanced radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, automatically locking and unlocking the doors through the chip in the smart card carried by the owner. This means when the driver approaches the vehicle within a certain distance, the door locks will automatically unlock and disable the anti-theft system. When the driver leaves the vehicle, the door locks will automatically lock and activate the anti-theft system.
