when i start the car in the cold?? -Well that hasnt worked. I was driving down the highway at 70 mph, when both SES & red. eng. power came on-- nearly bringing me to a halt...I was able to savely move to the break down lane. But this is extremely dangerous. Any advice? I find that if i turn the car off, then back on, the red. eng. pow. light goes off, but check eng. stays on.. It will go out a while later after the car is off then turned back on. --Does this have anything to do with using a remote starter? This only happens to me when its COLD and I use REMOTE START?
HELP-- before i get into a serious accident!
(sry this doesnt ans ur question......) :confuse:
I had the shocks checked out, no leaking and seemed to be in decent shape.
Any ideas?
I just had it repaired. it was the air bag module, replaced for a little under $500.
There was a recall for air bag modules for vehicle manufactured beween May and August, but mine was made in April. I was a little peeved to have to pay that amount of money but I was told the air bags wouldn't deploy while that light was on.
Thanks.

Poor Rear Heat Performance (Install Auxiliary Heater Pump)
2003-2005 TrailBlazer EXT
Condition: Some customers may complain of poor 2nd and/or 3rd row seating heater performance when the vehicle is at idle.
Cause: This condition may be due to lack of coolant circulation to the rear heater core.
Correction: Install auxiliary heater pump package. (P/N 89024885 L6, 89024886, V8) This pump will improve coolant flow to the rear heater core.
to be the transmision mount.
This has happened since I bought it brand new. The service dept's computer says nothing is wrong, and it will not "assimilate" for them! help!
---SAME EXACT PROBLEM THIS ANNOYED ME FOR 2 YEARS AND I FINALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM. ANYONE WITH FRONT END NOISE TRY POPPING YOUR HOOD RELEASE AND DRIVING OVER LITTLE BUMPS IF YOU DON'T HEAR THE NOISE ANYMORE THEN YOU KNOW THE HOOD ISNT RESTING IN THE RIGHT POSITION IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN.
I am having an electrical problem of sorts with my new 2005 TB LS. When I decelerate or go down a hill without pressing the accelerator my headlights flicker on and off. Sometimes the gauge lights will also flicker, but not as frequently as the headlights. After an hour or so of driving this tends to go away. I have also noticed this problem under some acceleration conditions as well. This troubled me greatly and gone as far as to take it in to have it checked.
The Dealer did a full battery test and concluded NOTHING was wrong! However, they did say that similar problems have been reported in other Chevy/GM products, most notably the Hummer. They gave me a TSB and indicated that the problem was likely the on-board computer was unable to properly adjust voltage.
Anyone else out there experience this problem with the TB or other GM vehicles? Anyone know of any solutions to this problem?
This has me GREATLY worried as at night it appears I am turning my lights on and off!
Thanks
I have taken mine into the dealership 2 times now. They have changed my alternator both times, checked my computer system and my breaks, they say nothing is wrong, but the problems still continue. Someone told me that maybe I should look into having a high output alternator installed by the dealership. This may eliminate these problems. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Please email me at wryancarey@charter.net if you do.
That is all I would do.
When you get into traffic on a summer day you will see your water temp go up to as high as 230 if the A/C is on. The dealer will tell you that is not a problem and the motor can run at 240. The motor may handle that temp but the sun gear in the trans will not.
When I had it worked on. They tore my dash apart and said the arms that work the vents were made of plastic and had broken. They said they had to have the system reset by a GM Dealer. Cost over $700.00 dollars.
The problem has started all over. Air though defrost and very little though dash vents, none though floor. The system in the back of SUV works OK.
Remember the good old days when this Kind of stuff never broke?
Any ideas on a possible reset?

Every time you start your car it runs diagnostic checks on this system. First it runs a "passive" test. If it passes the test, it stops testing. If it fails the passive test it runs an "active" test. Apparently this active test draws quite a bit of juice threrefore the lights flicker.
By letting the truck idle for 20 seconds before driving away it should allow the passive test to pass. According to TSB 05-08-42-001 this should work 99% of the time.
The light flickering drove me nuts the one time it happend to me!
