The diverter is vacuum operated. When switching vents do you hear anything from under the dash? If not you may have a hole in one of the vacuum lines or the diverter itself may be stuck. This involves taking the dash covers on the bottom off and checking what is going on while moving switch.

Have your coolant cap checked. If it is bad it won't hold pressure and it will allow coolant to leak out. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/steven_a67ead41eb5fc62a

Get your battery checked. Most cars can run on just the alternator but there are some that need the battery to be at a decent level to filter the larger power fluctuations (noise) such as headlights being turned on/off, the use of your blower and A/C unit, even the radio and most important and probably most significant (at least in my opinion) your brake booster. That can draw a lot of current and drag your engine down thus reducing power. Depending on the condition of your engine it may take longer than expected for the computer to compensate. Your battery and alternator work in tandem to provide power and when one is weak it tends to cause problems. Your particular problem could also be alternator related such as bad coil but checking your battery is far cheaper and quicker. Hope this helps =)

FUEL PUMP MAYBE PUMPING BUT IT MAY NOT HAVE THE RIGHT PRESSURE........

sounds like the cv joints have gone bad on axle, get underneath and grab the axle and see if it wiggles or moves. if its a howling noise, its a wheel bearing!

Duplicate question from chris g

You need to bleed the air out of the cooling system. Google a search of the way to do this.

I think what you are describing is a fault in the on-board anti-theft circuit. When you start the engine, and the problem occurs, Do you notice a light on the gauge cluster that starts flashing. It will either read "Security" or would be a picture of a lock. If you confirm this then you may need to have the ignition switch replaced. An ignition switch failure is the most common failure but it does not promise that your car will be fixed if you replace it. Other problems could be causing this problem but that would require your car to be diagnosed at your local GM dealer. If by chance, you were referring to your "Car Alarm" them that changes everything. After Market car alarms can be troublesome. They are an add-on and do not offer any assistance with diagnostics. When they fail, you have it uninstalled or replaced. Personally, I think they are a waist of money. I hope both of these comments help you. If you have other questions, please write back. I will be more than happy to answer any of your questions. If so, please try to be as detailed and specific, as possible. Good luck.

Your car is 10 years old You do not need to bother with GM They won't care about you,have you had a dealer or local shop diagnose the problem?

just need replace hazard switch get at any parts store

The display fails very common issue, just replace that one part. Look online there are many shops that do the job for far less and with minimum down time.

Sounds like you somehow have constant power to the relay. Check for shorted out wires.

security system or theft deterant system how ever u want to call it install battery and if u have key remotes hit lock and unlock this should reset system if no remotes insert key and cycle from off to on (do not start) three times and then try to start

hello, it sounds like you may not have injector pulse. You can check for voltage with a volt meter & check pulse with noid lights. Check the ecm Fuses, i think the ecm b fuse powers the injectors. make sure you are getting spark at the plugs. I hope this helps.
