My check engine light is on my chevy aveo 2005 dashboard and my car battery keeps dying when I went to get a diagnoist I was told that the battery, starter, and alternator are all good but I notice that if I leave my car over night recently the battery dies and I need a boost. Auto Zone said that the code is reading a sensors problem?

What is the code? Auto Zone uses cheap scanners, but the code is what you need. For example if you get a P1651 OBDII code the sensor that controls the fan relay could be running the cooling fans at night when the car is turned off and running down your battery. For a few bucks your local GM dealer can scan it for you, and you should have the answer. If you just get the code's Write them down, If you don't have a service manual, search the net for OBDII with the code# and that should narrow the problem down to circuit that is causing the problem. Hope this help.

2005 Chevy Aveo, clicks but start won't catch and when jumped it doesn't charge what could it be??

Your alternator is not charging the Battery, I would replace the battery with a new gel battery and have the alternator checked, bets on your battery just died.

I just hooked up a new pioneer stereo in my 04 chevy aveo and was left with 2 illumination wires without a home....then my battery died and now my check engine light is on...where do we need to splice...

The illumiation wires can just be capped off they aren't always used on aftermarket radios. It could be fluke instance that your battery died and you got the check engine light. I would take it to your closest autoparts store and have them read the codes most will do it free of charge and go from there.

2005 chevy aveo brake light comes on when i shift... why?

your brake fluid is low. I have a 2005 aveo that i took to dealer under warranty and told them the clutch didn't feel right and the brake light kept coming on. they told me they have not seen either issue i complained about charged me 700 dollars in labor and rental fees and sent me on my way. I then proceeded to take it to the used car dealership i bought it from and they bled the clutch and said they got alot of air out when chevy told me they didnt get any. Anyway about 3 weeks later the light was on steady and the clutch began acting funny again. I bled the clutch myself this time and didnt check the fluid level or i would have caught the next dangerous part. On the 2005 chevy aveo hatch back i have with a 1.6 5 speed shares one reservoir for brake and clutch fluid. I was driving along one day down a 12% grade about 2 mile long stretch and my brakes failed. I filled the brake fluid reservoir at first chance i got considering my arm was sore from operating the hand brake for 6 miles or so. the light went out. It will probably come back on as did mine. the leak in my system was a check valve under the brake master cylinder. be careful until you get to fixing it.

I have a 2008 chevy aveo that won't shift into gear unless we press the shift lock release. What is causing that and how expensive is it to fix?

It could be a few things....I just had this same problem with my 2008 chevy aveo this week. Also, my check engine light came on the very next day after the gear shifter started locking. I called Bob Bell and they told me that the gear shifter locking is probably due to a sensor going bad that tells your car it is in park. However, after taking my car to my brother-in-law (who has very LITTLe knowledge about repairing cars), we discovered that my brake lights were not working either. He told me that is why my check engine light is on - because it is extremely dangerous to drive without brake lights. We checked the fuses to make sure there was no fuse blown and they were all just fine. So bottom line, the problem was that there is a brake switch under your dash board where your brake is. My switch keeps sticking and will probably eventually need to be replaced. When the switch works properly, my brake lights work fine, my gear shifter unlocks and my check engine light goes out. Not sure how much it is to fix this switch if that is the problem but I hope it helps!

Is not getting fuel to injectors has new cpu and crank sensor and a new cam sensor. motor is new .i was told when it died going down the hiway it needed a new engine, but this is what has been going on...

check the fuel pump and related electrical system and fuses. The aveo doesn't have a fuel filter but only a screen at the bottom of the pump. I had to replace the fuel pump in my 2004 aveo at 80k due to a clogged screen. Hope this helps
