How do you replace a flasher in a 2001 cavalier?

The flasher sits above the gas pedal behind a small, black panel . The panel is held on with one star bolt and is situated between the gas panel arm and the bottom of the plastic molding that sits below the steering column. the flasher should be be green and clipped to a small, cube shaped harness and attached to the inside wall by two plastic clips. You will need to use a very small flathead to pry the two pieces apart. After removing the part you can verify that you have the correct replacement by comparing units, often times without opening the packaging on the replacement. Secondly you can verify that you did remove the flasher by putting your keys in the ignition, turning the on and then using your turn signals or hazards.

How do you replace the shifter lamp on a 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier?

I'm assuming you mean the gear shift light...the PRND21 display light. Well, the first thing you need to do is yank out that center console. Not as hard as it sounds: There are 4 bolts (10mm size?) if I remember correctly...1 under the heating console (under a little plastic oval-cover), 1 under the center change holder (where some models have the power windows/locks unit) and 2 inside the elbow compartment (the bigger area toward the back of the console with the fliptop lid). Pull those babies out. Next take off the shifter head. There's a u-shaped clip on the front of the head...hard to see but its there. A flat-top screwdriver should yank that out (I used the actual car key)...just be careful as its usually snug. Once that's off, pull off the center console cover. The light is located under some extra parts near the shifter shaft (the overlapping plastic plates that move with the shifter). This next part I'm not totally sure about but hopefully someone else can confirm. I'm not sure if the bulb (a 194 bulb) just twists and pops out or if its actually soldered to the connect. But once you find that out, you should be good to go. I believe the bulb can just be picked up at an autobody shop. Good luck!

What causes a humming noise while driving or idling and in any gear in an automatic transmission cavalier but only after driving for about 10 minutes?

Could be your cooling fan. And depending on what year your car is, you could have two cooling fans. My cavalier did the same thing. The fan would try to go on when the car heated up, but couldn't. I heard a distinct humming noise with it. It didn't cause any problems until I got stuck on the highway in the summer and my car almost overheated. Take it to a service station.
