The heater fan control which has 0 to 5 controls has stopped working for setting 1 to 4. I only have off and high.wesmill983 - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 - Body & Interior - 2/17/2013Could you please advise what part I should buy? Thank you-
2/17/2013 HouseCallAutoYour Avalanche was recalled for this in April of '11. It needs a new blower motor resistor or a blower motor control module depending on which HVAC system the truck was built with. Call a local GM dealer and make an appt, the job will be free. The recall notice is here, just read the first post in this forum >> http://www.performancetrucks.net/.../

How do you put the headlight switch-pull knob back in? It will not clip or hook in.llssanders6988 - 1980 Chevrolet G10 - Body & Interior - 2/17/2013-
2/17/2013 JimmIt may be necessary to simply replace the headlight switch. Check the many different on-line auto parts sources; such as - www.autopartswarehouse.com, www.partsgeek.com and www.rockauto.com for the replacement parts. For example, they (RockAuto) list the headlamp switch from around $6.99 for your vehicle; Standard Motor Products part # DS177T

Computer says service air bag. Whats involved and approx cost?hinkhauler - 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - Body & Interior - 2/11/2013-
2/11/2013 HouseCallAutoyou cannot know the cost until you know which component has to be replaced. the first thing that has tpo be done is attach a code reader to the diagnostic connector and read the fault codes for the SRS. The fault codes will give a direction. This cannot be be approximated ahead of time like a brake job. I would budget $500 for the repair.

Trying to take my Motorcycle to bike week and need a way to transport.Kermit - 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 - Body & Interior - 2/6/2013Will this device work to carry my 2003 Yamaha R6 375lbs Masterbuilt HMXCR HITCH-HAUL Steel Motorcycle Carrier"holds 500lbs-
5/19/2011 Nissan Technical AdvisorI believe it can, as it features claims that it can hold up to 500lbs load. -
5/19/2011 Spoon SportsYes, because the WET weight of your motorcycle is around 420 pounds, DRY is about 350. Plus these things have a threshold upon construction. It can go to 60o lbs without any problems but that is pushing the envelope. -
2/6/2013 neomyejohnIt will absolutely work. As long us your motorcycle weighs less or the amount of load specified. Nothing will stop it from working.
All the best in bike week!

Why are my gas hand and speedometer dial going crazy?tonyadukes21 - 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier - Body & Interior - 2/6/2013My car has approximately 107,000 miles and there is no check engine light or any other warning lights on.

How is bed attached to frame?Zac - 2008 Chevrolet Colorado - Body & Interior - 2/6/2013I need to change the fuel pump pressure sensor and rather than pulling the tank I'd rather pull the bed. I have pulled bed off of other models, but I've been told that these Colorados have the beds glued to the frame as well as being bolted. Is this true? If it is ...-
2/6/2013 Jimm1) Before removing the bed, set up a pair of sturdy sawhorses in an area where you'd like to set the bed. You can set the bed up on end, but that risks damaging the paint.
2) Using the 3/8-inch ratchet and the torx bits, open the gas door and unbolt the gas filler neck from the bed.
3) There is a ground strap that mounts on the frame from the gas filler neck. Find the wire and unbolt it from the frame using the 3/8-inch ratchet.
4) Using the 1/2-inch ratchet, unbolt the bed from the frame. There are eight bolts located along the frame: two on the front of the bed, four along the middle section of the frame on either side of the axle and two at the rear underneath the tailgate area. You may need to use an extension to get into some of the more difficult areas to access.
5) Go to the rear of the bed, follow the taillight harness to where it mates up with the chassis harness and disconnect the two connectors. This should allow the bed to be free from the wiring without requiring you to remove the taillights.
6) Get your three friends together and put one on each corner of the bed. Lift vertically at first, making sure that no leftover connections are on the truck. Pull the bed up and rearward of the truck, making sure to be careful around the bumper and the wheels. Then place the bed on the sawhorses, and the job is complete.

2/4/2013 Chris & KyleI purchaseda new switch for the driver side and blew the fuse. Now I am having to purchase another fuse only two months later. It was probably a bad switch I purchased from this web site.
