A lot of newer cars have a "lever" you must lift to shift into reverse. It's a safety feature to keep from throwing your car into reverse instead of 5th gear. Mine is a ring right below the knob that you lift up. See if you car has something similar.

What do a run capacitor do in a cIrcuit?

A run capacitor in a circuit helps improve the efficiency of an electric motor by providing a phase shift in the electrical current, which enhances the motor's torque and performance. It allows the motor to maintain a steady operation during its running phase, reducing energy consumption and minimizing overheating. This capacitor typically remains in the circuit while the motor is operating, unlike a start capacitor, which is only engaged during startup.


Why the fan not rotate without capacitor?

A fan relies on a capacitor to create a phase shift in the electrical current, which is essential for starting and maintaining the rotation of the motor. Without the capacitor, the motor lacks the necessary torque to overcome inertia, preventing it from starting or running efficiently. Essentially, the capacitor helps to establish the magnetic fields that allow the fan blades to turn. Without it, the motor may hum but will not rotate.


What part of motor makes the current in the coil reverse every half turn so that motor spins continuously?

The direction of the current flowing through it must be changed after every half rotation. Otherwise, when the north pole of the coil comes near the south pole of the magnet, there will be attraction between them and the coil will stop rotating.


What is a reversible motor?

What are magnetic shading coils and what do they do in a magnetic motor Starter?

How do you release the shift lever on a 1985 Johnson 120 hp motor?

To release the shift lever on a 1985 Johnson 120 hp motor, locate the shift lock mechanism, usually found near the throttle control. Press the button or lever while simultaneously moving the shift lever to the neutral position. This should disengage the lock and allow you to shift into forward or reverse. Always consult the owner's manual for specific instructions related to your model.
