The dealer should replace it at no cost. GM had a recent recall on these power steering units, including the 07 cobalt. GM stated that the dealers were supposed to do this at no charge. A number of people started complaining that the power steering would lock up while driving, and that they had to shut the car off and turn it back on to unlock it. Because of this, GM did a recall around March of 2010. I am surprised your dealer didn't notify you....

How was the light bulb built?

Early bulbs were made of glass, blown into a bulb shape, using techniques already common in making glass drinking vessels and ornaments.

The filment is inserted at the open end and the glass re-heated to form a seal.

The air is drawn out using a suction pump, either attached at the same free end or through the opposite end via a tube. The glass being re-melted to keep a vucuum inside the bulb.

Early experiments in making the bulb, made bulbs in the form of a football, with a point at both ends, where the air has been drawn out.

It is important to remove the air, to stop the oxygen burning up the filament as it glows white hot. Modern bulbs replace the air with an inert gas, which does the same job.

What might be causing instrument cluster fuses to keep blowing in a 2005 cobalt?

"Blowing" Fuses Fuses and Circuit Breakers are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] from short circuits and overload conditions which can cause extreme overheating which can result in damage to the conductors, and worse, the possibility of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle. When a fuse, and replacement fuses, repeatedly blow, is an indicator of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short. Do not install a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install a larger fuse would invite damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire. The proper "fix" is for a qualified technician, who knows what he/she's doing, to * troubleshoot the circuit, * find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse].

Is a two door Chevy Cobalt a sports car?

Yes. It is a sports car...if you're a 16 year old girl. If you're not a 16 year old girl, it's an econo-box that gets good gas mileage that looks sporty. I'm sure it's sportier than a Ford Focus or Toyota Yaris though. You need to look at the Scion TC or the Acura RSX. You can get a 2-3 year old RSX for the price of a new Cobalt. If, however you want to know what a real sports car is, look at a Mustang. That's probably the cheapest REAL sports car on the market.

I disagree. A turbo charged SS will likely give a similarly priced mustang a run for its money. No a cobalt isn't a mustle car, as you'll always have just a 4 cyl, but depending on your tastes it can be a sporty car. It can also have some goos speed with little work (or an SS upgrade).
