Dome light will not turn
It greatly depends on what type of vehicle it is (you didn't indicate make or model). However quite a lot of vehicles have an actual over ride switch or interior light kill switch. Some are in the overhead console (has a light with a slash thru it). Others are in the rotary switch for the dome lights, if turned on way to the max it shuts off the lights. Others are simply a push button on the dash near the headlight switch, in the center console or even on the steering wheel lever. If it doesn't have an over ride switch then its most likely a blown fuse, which will need further diagnosis.
Code p0335 crank sensor problem
changed
If a crank sensor is bad, it would either start or not start.
If it is missing, then the coil pack or ignition module is likely faulty.
You can hook a voltmeter up to the wiring to the sensor and crank the car and make sure you are getting the same 12 volt reading on the sensor and the wiring as well. It will take 20 cranks for a system to relearn
My tensioner for the drive
There is no way to put it back together. The system is spring loaded and if it is now in pieces, it was time replace 3 months ago. The tensoiners can be purchased at any auto parts store. They come with a new bolt and are very easy to install. When you put the belt/new belt on, make sure you can read the writing like holding a book in your hand. This will make sure you have no squeeling even with a new belt. Let me know if you need anything else.
My 200 gmc van blows
The new starter may be binding with the flywheel, if there was a shim that came with the new starter it should be used. If the fuse never blew before the starter was replaced I would bring the starter back and exchange it for another one the starter itself could be faulty right from the remanufacturer, it is most likely drawing too much power to do its work therebye blowing the fuse. Check all wires to the starter ensuring that no wires are crossed or touching a metal surface.
Getting code C0292 lost communication with Engine Control System any ideas on a fix! 2004 GMC Yukon Denali XL
The C0292 code in your 2004 GMC Yukon Denali XL indicates a communication issue between the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). Here are some steps to diagnose and potentially fix the problem:
Check Ground Connections:
Inspect the ground connections related to the PCM and EBCM.
Follow the ECM ground and ABS module ground.
Check the ground on the firewall (driver's side) and the frame rail under the driver's seat.
Also, verify the engine ground on the driver's side.
Inspect Wiring and Connectors:
Visually examine the wiring harness and connectors associated with the EBCM.
Look for any signs of damage, such as broken wires or corroded pins.
Ensure that the connector pins are not bent or pushed out.
Pay attention to any loose or poor electrical connections.
Consider the Tune:
If you've recently modified the vehicle's tuning, consider reverting to a different tune.
Sometimes, a specific tune can cause communication issues.
If you suspect the tune, contact the tuner for further guidance1.
Professional Diagnosis:
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it's advisable to seek professional help.
A qualified mechanic can perform a thorough diagnosis using specialized tools.
Keep in mind that diagnostic costs typically range from $75 to $150 per hour.
Where is the fuse or the relay for fuel injector 1
for a 2006 GMC envoy Denali
Fuel injectors are typically driven directly by power transistors in the engine computer. Relays are just not fast enough to provide the fine timing control needed. There might be an individual fuse for each injector soldered to the computer board, but I haven't ever looked at one for your model, and I've never seen injectors individually fused. Before chasing that, verify that the electrical resistance of the injector coil is the same as the other injectors. The typical resistance is between 100 and 1000 Ohms. If the coil resistance differs by more than 10%, replace the injector coil (it may be easier to remove the coil from a new injector and switch it with the old one than to pull the entire injector out and replace it, if not, change the injector). Shorts in the coil that lower the resistance are sometimes a problem.
Also check the injector cable for continuity. An easy way is with an ohmmeter that can read at least 20 Megohms. First, check the resistance between the terminals on a good cable. You should read a very high resistance - this is the leakage through the transistor and any protective components, and is some number between 5 and 20 megohms. The exact number doesn't matter, as long as you see something and it is not a short circuit (less than 1 Ohm). This verifies that the test will work (if it reads over-range, either your probe tips can't reach the contacts in the connector, or the test is otherwise not valid). Next, repeat on injector 1. If it reads open circuit (over-range), check the injector cable (note: an open fuse will give the same result as a broken wire).

Why won't my 2001 gmc sierra headlamps turn off when truck is started?
If the headlamps on your 2001 GMC Sierra won't turn off when the truck is started, there are a few potential causes for this issue:
1. Faulty headlight switch: The headlight switch may be malfunctioning, causing it to remain in the "on" position even when the truck is started. A faulty switch can prevent the headlamps from turning off as intended.
2. Stuck relay: There could be a stuck relay in the headlamp circuitry, keeping the power to the headlamps constantly engaged. A stuck relay can cause the headlamps to remain illuminated even when the switch is off.
3. Wiring issue: There may be a wiring problem, such as a short circuit or a damaged wire, that is causing a constant supply of power to the headlamps. This can prevent the headlamps from turning off when the truck is started.
4. Daytime running lights (DRL) malfunction: If your Sierra is equipped with daytime running lights, there could be a malfunction in the DRL system. This can cause the headlamps to stay on at all times, regardless of the switch position.
To address this issue, you can try the following steps:
1. Check the headlight switch: Inspect the headlight switch for any signs of damage or wear. If the switch appears to be faulty, it may need to be replaced.
2. Check the relays: Locate the relays associated with the headlamp circuit and check if any of them are stuck or not functioning correctly. If a relay is found to be faulty, it should be replaced.
3. Inspect the wiring: Thoroughly inspect the wiring harness and connectors in the headlamp circuit for any visible damage or loose connections. If any issues are found, the wiring should be repaired or replaced as necessary.
4. DRL system troubleshooting: If your Sierra has DRLs, consult the vehicle's owner manual or a service manual to understand the DRL system's operation. Follow the troubleshooting steps outlined in the manual to diagnose and resolve any issues with the DRL system.
If you're unable to identify or resolve the problem on your own, it is advisable to consult a qualified mechanic or take your GMC Sierra to a reputable auto repair shop for further diagnosis and repair.
Where is the jack located on a 2002 GMC Envoy
The jack to lift the vehicle is under the rear seats. Both seat bases, (the section you sit on) tilt forward to reveal the tyre iron and the jack. The jack is a 'bottle' style. You might need to twist the big twist nut on the side of the jack 1 or 2 turns counterclockwise to get it to come out of it's storage slot. Do this the opposite way around when putting it back as it stops the jack rattling around and annoying you.
