TRY TURNING THE KEY OVER.
Unbolt it.
One way to know that a control arm bushing is bad on a Chevy Malibu is from the noises you will hear when you are driving. You will hear a clunking sound. The steering on the car will also not be as good as it once was. You could also experience drifting of the car as you drive.
You have to remove the radio to get to the passlock sensor. Once the radio is removed, its right behind the ingnition switch. It is possible to by pass it, the yellow wire required to do it only though. The sensor is actually part of the ignition cylinder itself. It is in the case surrounding the tumbler portion of the lock.
The interior bulbs on a 1999 Chevy Malibu are contained in a plastic fixture whose cover snaps open. Once inside the fixture, pop out the dead bulb and replace it with the appropriate replacement.
U have to pull the steering wheel and the turn signal mechanism behind it. Once that's outa the way you will find one screw that most be removed then the ignition will slide right out.
i once had this problem and my car wasnt completely in park...yea felt pretty stupid.
It will be alot cheaper to go to a repair shop and have them scan it for codes than to guess and spend money on parts you do NOT need.
Push the brake pedal three times. Then turn the headlights on and off quickly. Fart once and then clap. Radio fixed!
It's the cylinder or the key is worn down. Once I ran into a problem where the cover on the wafers rose up and was hanging in a slot in the cylinder housing, but the key would turn but not far enough to start the car. But if it wont turn, I would suspect the key or something sticking inside the lock.
It depends on the year of the car, what engine, and driving style. I have a 2006 Malibu with the v6, and on the highway, I have gottem 50-60 miles and still made to a station, and then in town made it 35 more miles then it died right in front of the station.
These lights have 2 different "lights" in each of them. This occurs frequently. Change out the bulb and everything will be working fine once again.
You can change it without removing gas tank But it is tucked under the gas tank and is much easier to replace once the tank is dropped..
