Chevy Malibu

I'm not a car expert but I have a 1999 Chevy Malibu and it has 70,000 miles on it. It is in great shape and never had any major problems. I expect it to last through at least 150,000 miles. I think it really just depends on the car and the way it's taken care of.

Usually the remote wire is the blue wire. Although not all CD players have a remote wire. The easy way to find out if you're player has a remote wire is to go onto the manufacturer's website and check the spec's.

The 2004-2008 models were made in manufactured in Kansas City. The 2008-2012 models were manufactured in Kansas City and Orion, Michigan. The 2013 models sold in the U.S. will be manufactured in Detroit.

To enable the alarm system on a 2012 Chevy Malibu, ensure that all doors, the trunk, and the hood are closed. Then, simply lock the vehicle using the key fob or the door lock switch. The alarm system will automatically activate after a few seconds, indicated by the parking lights flashing. If the system is triggered, the horn will sound and the lights will flash until the alarm is disarmed by unlocking the vehicle.

try the driver side fender or the fuse panel under the hood

Yes it does! It's on top of the tansaxle, driver side. It has a 13mm nut holding it on and a shaft coming out of the front end.

I also have a 2002 Chevy Malibu that had the weird blinker issue. Last year I checked it out and found it was a recall. You should be able to have it fixed for free. Mine was fixed last spring and I haven't had any problem since.

3. Pull the shifter panel up at the rear and down at the front to pop it off and pull it back a little. It won't remove completely due to the shifter.

For older model cars such as the 1979 Corvette look for online service repair manuals. These eBook renditions offer the proper troubleshooting procedures, wiring diagrams, and information to help fix any situation.

It depends on what model you have, but most are the same.

Disconnect the battery! Loosen the tensioner for the serpentine belt and pull the belt off the alternator pulley. Remove the bolt holding the alternator at the 4:00 o'clock position
Remove the nut at the right rear side of the alternator
Remove the bolt at the next to it nearer you. All bolts have 15mm heads, but you're going to need a deep well socket to get the nut off. Pull out the alternator and remove the plug from it and also remove the red wire attached to the back. You're going to need a 13mm socket and a 13mm flat wrench. Replace the alternator by reversing the steps above. Reattaching the serpentine belt is a pain.

check your dash light dimmer switch it may be turn all the way up if so turn it down this should turn the lights off and also on some models there is an override switch that should be by where you turn your headlamps on if you push this in it should shut off the lights but will not allow them to come on when doors are opened

The engine temperature rises until it get so hot the internal oil burns away and then the engine locks up and stops. Then you call a wrecker and get ready to spend a lot of money or abandon the car where it sits.

As long as the radio is a non-Bose type do not repair it. Get an aftermarket radio and you will be miles ahead. i had a shop install mine then replaced the speakers in the doors myself.

the only way to unlock radio theft code is to go to dealer approx$100 to hook up master comp and reset

This works for a 2003 Blazer, they may be the same.

You will actually have to remove the head light assembly to access the bulbs. The procedure will not throw off the headlight aiming a bit and it is real easy.

If you look at the top of the radiator support just above where the head lights are, you sill see two black plastic pieces that lean in toward the engine compartment on each side. They are about an inch, or so, wide. Just pull/lever them up and the head lamp will pop out for access to the bulbs.

You will need to pop out the center grill and then on each headlight unit there are two tabs (one on each side of unit) that you need to pull up. After that carefully pull out the headlight unit and remove the wires that are for the lights. To change the bulb remove the large rubber cap and twist the bulb holder to remove the bulb from headlight unit.

Take off the negative battery cable then the wires on the alt then the bolts that hold it on. First take off the serpentine belt. There should be a schematic of how to reinstall it on the fan shroud. if it is not there you can draw your own before you take it off. Don't rely on memory.

The bulbs screw in from the rear. If you can't get to the back, take the light assy off of the car.

when you open the hood of the car there are two square plastic tabs on either side of the light, pull up on those (they only move 1/4 to 1/2 inch) and the headlight assembly will come out giving you access to the bulbs.

If you know for sure that it is not getting fuel or fire, you need to check the ECM fuse. If it is good then check the relay. If you have a professional hook up a scanner then it will tell what is wrong with it. That would be cheaoer than guessing unless you have plenty of money to waste on replacing good parts.

First, locate the H and M buttons located just below the tuner knob (the lower of the two). You press AND hold either one of those buttons for a few seconds until it beeps, or the numbers are flashing. You can then use the H button to set the HOUR and M button to set the MINUTES. To finalize your time selection, just wait 10 seconds or so and the flashing should cease and your clock is SET! If it does not set after waiting, just press the POWER button to activate the radio and it will finalize the clock settings. You're welcome, olde tymer. Caleb

If it blows in the right place. The exhaust is getting into the water passage which will cause the car to overheat. Probably in just a few minutes. With the engine cold, take the radiator cap off, make sure it is full. start the car. If the head gasket is blown, water will shoot out the cap for a foot or two.

A quick fix until you have about $300 to fix it is to turn the key to the ON position for 10 minutes, and when the theft system light stops blinking you can start it right up.

You can also just slowly turn the key to the on position (not accessory or start), shift the transmission into neutral (you have to step on the break first) and then start it. This won't work if you have tried to start it and the THEFT light is flashing, see the above answer.

the quick fix is to just wait ten minutes for the theft deterant to cut off, the problem isn't realy the ignition but the system itself and its more like 600 hundred to fix at the dealership

:

Take all the other keys off your keyring, the weight of the other keys maybe causing the ignition key to be unreadable.also it depends on what is wrong with the system. if it the anti-theft system it may be very pricy, but if it is the ignition lock cylinder than it will cost you about $100 for the new lock cylinder and several hours of labor if you are very good at working with cars.

$100 for a new switch at Napa Auto Parts. Most neutral safety switches are a sealed, non reparable unit. If you are doing this yourself, I would recommend testing the wiring before replacing the unit since it is expensive. According to the Napa website, the safety switch on the 2001 Chevy Malibu does more tha simply close when in neutral, so I cannot give specifics. I recommend checking your local library to see if they have a copy of the shop manual. It will have detailed troubleshooting flowcharts to track down the exact problem.

Hello from the frigid North. Most block heaters are installed as options by the dealership in my neck of the woods. When the auto manufacturer (or importer in your case) builds the vehicle, they usually dont know if its going to wind up in Miami or Fargo, so they leave it up to the retailer to make a coupla bucks if we want to get it started at -30 below...GL
