How to identify and eliminate a malfunction of light dimensions?

All light devices in the basic equipment of the car are designed to simplify the management, as well as to increase the safety of the driver and other road users on the route. Of particular importance are the light dimensions of the machine. It is they in the dark give an introduction to other car owners and pedestrians about the size of the car. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain these devices in a working and clean state. Traffic regulations stipulate this case. If these devices have any problems, then the car has no right to move. However, now we will consider in more detail some of the causes that led to a malfunction of light dimensions.

One of the first and most common failures is the breakage of any connecting wire in the system. This can be checked by connecting special signal or test lamps to the part of the wiring where the damage could have been suspected. Thus, the location of the fault is detected, and you can take the necessary measures to eliminate it, for example, install a new wire to replace the old one.

Widespread is also a malfunction of light dimensions associated with the burnout of filaments in lamps of lamps and headlights. In this case, everything is quite simple: you just need to remove the protective cap and change the element. Of course, many modern motorists prefer the traditional incandescent lamps more economical and efficient LED. They are combined for convenience in so-called "tapes", which effectively designate your car on the road. Diode dimensions are economical and have a sufficiently long service life. In addition, the lighting characteristics, which are inherent in this type of light devices, have higher indicators than similar and traditional incandescent lamps. Another undoubted advantage is their small size, as well as a relatively low cost. Buy new light bulbs in the dimensions of both the first and second type can be found in almost any auto parts store. In the same place you can always consult and choose the most suitable variant of car designation on the road.

A serious enough type of failure is a short circuit in the wiring. The given malfunction of light dimensions can be eliminated only at the specialized service station, since there are all kinds of devices for detecting "burnt out" elements. After passing the diagnosis you will be given a detailed report on the condition of your car and will carry out all the required work.

The next failure of the light dimensions is the failure of the switching devices in the electrical wiring of the machine. This can be a switch, a fuse, a relay-interrupter and many other elements of the electrical network. This type of malfunction in most cases can be eliminated by timely replacement of these parts.

In order to be sure of the serviceability of your car, you should stop by STO not only with a breakdown, but also for passing the diagnosis. This will protect you and your loved ones.
