What causes the chime to not work when the key is in the ignition with the door open?

My 2007 cobalt also has this problem. The chimes and turn signal sounds come out of the speaker in the drivers door. If there is a bad speaker connection, or the speaker no longer works, you won't hear any chimes.

How can you fix on a 1993 Sierra 1500 an ignition key that is stuck in the on position?

I had this same problem and god is it a pain, most likely the ignition is going to need to be replaced. Mine had to be cut out and replaced with a new one which cost me around 130 bucks including labor. I personally tried everything to my knowledge to attempt to get it out. but it couldn't be done. so good luck and i hope that helps. I also had this problem with my 1993 Sierra 1500 (with tilt steering), and luckily avoided taking a hacksaw to my steering column! In my case, the switch was stuck on (in "run"), and the automatic transmission was in park. I couldn't move the transmission lever down far enough to get it into reverse, but it would move far enough to let the truck coast. Also, I could turn the key to "start", but doing that with the engine on damages the the starter. To fix it, I killed the engine by pulling the ignition fuse (it's labeled PCM/IGN), disconnected the battery, and then wiggled the shifter while turning the key back and forth between "run" and "start". Eventually, the key popped to the "lock" position, and now its working fine. If you can't get the key to come out after doing this, be sure to leave the battery disconnected. Leaving a stopped car in "run" drains the battery and can cause other damage.

Where is the PCM located on a 2008 Chevy Cobalt and how can a novice replace it?

Under the passenger seat and No, a novice should not bother unless it's absolutely necessary because their are available P.C.M. tunes available like "Trifecta Tune"

Edit: No, it isn't. It's in front of the under hood junction box on the driver side. It's really easy to get to and remove. The PCM is the larger of the two metal bricks under the black cover in front of the fuse block. Pull the red pins toward the driver side fender, the depress the tab just right of the pin while pulling the gray lever to remove the wires. When you reinstall, be sure to place gray terminal with gray port and black with black.

1. Take all four valvestem caps off.

2. Find a tool such as a small diameter philips screwdriver that will work to let air out of the valvestem. A common aluminum 1/8" rivet (round end into valve stem) works very well.

4. Turn key to on position.

5. Apply parking brake.

8. Let air out for 4 seconds - count it out (one one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand, four one-thousand).

9. Wait for about 15 seconds* for the honk (sometimes it'll honk right away).

10. Repeat 7 and 8 for the RF tire.

11. Repeat 7 and 8 for the RR tire.

12. Repeat 7 and 8 for the LR tire.

13. With all four now done, the system will give it's final multi-honk completion note.

14. Use a quality gauge to set your final pressures (a good gauge will exactly match the sensor readings).

15. Replace all four valvestem caps.

*If you've waited fifteen seconds for the honk and nothing has happened. Don't panic - Simply repeat 8 and 9 again as there is a two minute window to do each tire sensor.
