Going to college, but why can't the car be started? A breakdown is definitely more troublesome for women than for men. As a result, you can only call a mechanic or a male friend to help check what's wrong with the vehicle. Oh, when checked, it turns out you forgot to fill the gas. So embarrassing, right?

From now on, you should also know the condition of your car. Who knows, the car trouble might be something you can fix yourself without needing help from others. Moreover, women who know about automotive will appear more attractive in the eyes of men. Here are five things to check when your car breaks down.

Worn Clutch

A worn clutch is indicated by symptoms of the vehicle's engine gasping for air, unable to go fast, and losing power on inclines. It is usually accompanied by an unpleasant smell from inside or under the car. This could be a sign that the clutch is burnt out and needs urgent maintenance.

Overheat

Overheating occurs because the engine is too hot. This can be caused by insufficient or depleted water in the radiator. It might be due to forgetting to refill or a leak. 

Don't forget to check several components, such as the radiator hose and other cooling systems in the engine. For safety, it's important to replace hoses regularly. 

Oil Indicator Light

After the engine temperature cools down, try checking the oil indicator. There is a possibility that the breakdown occurred due to low engine oil. Open the front hood and remove the engine oil dipstick. Check whether the oil is indeed too dry and needs to be topped up or not.

Starter Switch

Although often overlooked, this part actually plays an important role in the car's performance. Check if your Starter Switch is still functioning well? The likelihood of damage to this device is indeed high. It's understandable, as it is most often used when starting or stopping the vehicle's engine. 

Car Fuses

When the car breaks down, don't forget to check the often-forgotten parts. What else but the car fuses. Check the fuse box under the hood and steering thoroughly. Make sure everything is still functioning without any blown or melted fuses. If something is damaged, it's better to replace it immediately so the problem can be resolved quickly. 

Car troubles can happen anytime and anywhere. Therefore, always equip your vehicle with adequate necessities, such as a jack, spare tire, flashlight, rope, fuses, brake fluid, spare engine oil, and others. And most importantly, a warning triangle to inform other drivers that there is a car stopped ahead.

So, don't panic when facing a breakdown. If the damage is hard to identify, call an official vehicle workshop that has on-the-road service to ask for help. So, always save the official workshop's phone number in your smartphone contacts.
