I also seem to remember that GM was replacing the turn signal housing (or some parts in it, can't remember) under warranty.
dealer wanted $ 20 for part plus labor...was quoted over $100...for repair...
My mechanic told me to buy the harness and he would splice the job...
total cost was $45.00
no issues since...
hope this helps
short somewhere or what? Help.....
have to pull fuse to turn off and when i drive at night i have to
put fuse back in lololol
This morning just the check engine light on, got to Auto Zone with no problem and they pulled codes P1125 and P2138, both dealing with APP (Accelerator Pedal Position) sensor. Both codes show possible failed or defective APP sensor. P2138 shows poor electrical connection as possible problem, P1125 shows open or short circuit condition could be problem. Explanations for both deal with one or more APP/TP sensors not agreeing.
About six months ago similar thing happened. I was leaving work (at my previous job), same three lights/messages came on and no power steering. Coasted to a nearby shop. Couple of hours later a friend suggested tightening gas cap. I did, problem didn't return until last night.
For what it's worth, no light came on when drove from Auto Zone to my office this morning. I'm traveling Friday, don't want to pass it off as a fluke or faulty warning but also don't want to replace APP sensor if no reason to. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Craig
Possibly related, back in 2007 when the suspension was making creaking noises, one place told us the steering shaft had been corroded due to moisture, don't know if there's a connection or not. And once a few months ago the turn signals all of a sudden stopped working for a couple of turns, then returned to normal. Weird.
Add this on top of the usual Malibu starter and steering/suspension issues, I'm really wondering if getting our Maxx was a good choice. Great room, great flexibility, great mileage on trips but the reliability is starting to wear on me.

Thanks
Can someone help?

I pulled out, one by one, ALL fuses (not the relays cause I don't know how or if this is possible) and the current is still there. Moreover, if instead of the Amp-meter I plug in the battery circuit a control lamp, the filament turns red and I hear oscillation noises in the car computer (under the gloves compartment).
When I pull out some of the fuses, this noise is slower or faster, or accompanied by sudden periodic moves of the instrument panel needles.
The noise I hear in the computer may be from one relay there, and it is also simultaneous with oscillations of the red color of the short-circuit control bulb .
I really do not know what else to do. Please help me, or advise me.

My mom had this care previously and she had the ignition replaced twice-- each time the symptoms were the A/C cutting in/out, flipping from recirc to fresh on its own, and the windows not working intermittently. Now I have the car and it has been doing the same A/C thing for awhile, once it died while my husband was driving it, and most recently about half the time I try to turn it on, it doesn't start or make a sound, I get all the warning lights, and most disturbingly, no power to the brakes (they just go soft and the car will roll, even in park). I wonder if this is also an electrical problem related to the ignition? I'm scared to try to drive it, and even scared to get it fixed since the ignition keeps going bad and the thought of the brakes going out suddenly due to an electrical failure (if that is possible?)
AC would be dash unit, contacts get burnt. If you google the AC problem it will tell you a DIY fix for free.
Should not roll in park, linkage out of adjustment or park pawl broke off.
Brakes are vacuum powered, not electrical. If ABS that could be the problem, just pull the ABS fuse.
No start? you mean the starter will not crank the engine or the engine will not run.
Anyways the electrical system needs trouble shooting.
Because it doesn't do this consistently, I think it must be a power problem, and not a physical problem with the linkage, etc.
Recently I had a recall on my 09 G6, shift linkage could slip and cause no park condition. They installed a kit.
I have a headlight that isn't working. I replaced the bulb with a new one and it still isn't working (on dim....brights work fine!). More electrical problems?
Thanks for your suggestions...BTW, I'm new to this board...
BTW, any way to find and retrieve the 10mm socket? I saw it when it dropped and tried pushing it onto the driveway with a stick, all that did was drop it somewhere into the abyss. As far as I can tell it's still down there somewhere.
Bought a new relay and again the horn activated by it self on 3/15 4am..at this moment I have'nt substitued the relay..what should i be looking for to fix it? It may be an electrical problem? Copule months ago I eliminated the cars alarm that came with the car. I had the car since new from the dealer 1998 and no major probles since this..
Don't know if your car has a sunroof or not or even if this solution could apply to your case but just thought I would list it here.
Good luck.
