One ugga dugga should suffice. Make sure you use lock tight to prevent them from coming loose though.

You can get guide from many sites.. i know few error codes/ fault codes, wiring diagrams, schematic diagrams, torque specs, engine info, switches functioning, assemble, disassembly, complete refurbish, repair, installation every single t hing i s covered within seconds u can get the access and it's totally illustrative complete

Remove the washer container from the vehicle then replace pump.

Transaxle Control Module (TCM) circuit poor electrical connection

hello u will find a lot of wiring diagrams and circuit diagrams help books and stuff like this at reliable-store the girl in the chat box can help u instantly... im a frequent buyer there since Im a mechanic so take help from there

You will need to determine what circuit the noise is coming from. Turn each switch on and off to see if something will affect the noise. Some relay may be malfunctioning. Like the horn relay, A/C Relay, Fuel Relay, Hazard light Flashers, or some heater control.

Check the coolant level. thermostat, water pump.

I'd check the mode door actuator. Take a look at this post to understand how blend and mode doors work.

The car & padlock symbol is telling you the anti-theft system has a problem , that's why it won't start . You really should have a qualified repair shop check it out .

I couldn't find anything related to the heat actuator replacement in the Equinox service manual but assuming you have bored out the hole by now to make it fit, I did find a calibration step that should be performed before touching anything in the heating, defrost and A/C section of air distribution. Here is a paste from the GM service manual; Prior to or after any replacement of HVAC components including A/C compressor make sure to calibrate HVAC module using the following procedure. 1. - Calibrate the HVAC control by simultaneously depressing the A/C and re-circulation buttons three times in a period of less than two seconds, allow 15 seconds to complete calibration. Perform with ignition on. 2. - Verify A/C and re-circulation LEDs are flashing during calibration 3. - After calibration is complete, depress A/C or re-circulation button and make sure the LED state changes and all modes operate properly (if lit, LED will be off after button is cycled or vice-versa). If state does not change, follow published diagnosis.)

In the fuel tank, part of the fuel pump assembly. Its not a serviceable part unless you need a fuel pump

The fuel filter (1) is located in the primary fuel tank module. The paper filter element traps particles in the fuel that may damage the fuel injection system. The filter housing is made to withstand maximum fuel system pressure, exposure to fuel additives, and changes in temperature. inside the gas tank .

Hi it sounds as if your brake linings have broken away you will need to remove the drum to see.

The cooling system may have air in it.It needs burped.

Firing order is correct, (1, 3, 4, 2). Cylinders are numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4. Number One cylinder is nearest the belts and pulleys and number 4 is nearest the transmission/gearbox end. Stand in front of the car and face the rear of the vehicle. Cylinder 1 is to your left and Cylinder 4 is to your right.

It would probably take a competent mechanic an hour to change. I do not have my program in front of me that shows book time, but you have to remove the air filter housing and the front motor mount to get to the belt and tensioner.

Does not have a fuel pressure regulator . Fuel pressure is controlled electronically by the fuel pump control module an a fuel rail pressure sensor . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop. You have no clue what's up an won't learn here . IF you want to fix this ,suggest you go to http://alldatadiy.com/?affiliate_id=93770&click_id=2526329174 an pay for service repair info. Don't guess . Engine power reduced and stabilitrac message ??? this is a problem caused by the electronic throttle control system . Gas pedal has position sensors that are a direct link to the engine computer , throttle position sensors in the throttle body also are hooked to the PCM / ECM - engine computer . Throttle body also has a D/C motor that controls the position of the throttle plate . Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description The throttle actuator control (TAC) system is used to improve emissions, fuel economy, and driveability. The TAC system eliminates the mechanical link between the accelerator pedal and the throttle plate. The TAC system eliminates the need for a cruise control module and idle air control motor. The following is a list of TAC system components: ?€¢ The accelerator pedal assembly includes the following components:

- The accelerator pedal

- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1

- The APP sensor 2

?€¢ The throttle body assembly includes the following components:

- The throttle position (TP) sensor 1

- The TP sensor 2

- The throttle actuator motor

- The throttle plate

?€¢ The engine control module (ECM)

The ECM monitors the driver demand for acceleration with 2 APP sensors. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage range is from about 0.98-4.16 volts as the accelerator pedal is moved from the rest pedal position to the full pedal travel position. The APP sensor 2 range is from about 0.49-2.08 volts as the accelerator pedal is moved from the rest pedal position to the full pedal travel position. The ECM processes this information along with other sensor inputs to command the throttle plate to a certain position. The throttle plate is controlled with a direct current motor called a throttle actuator control motor. The ECM can move this motor in the forward or reverse direction by controlling battery voltage and/or ground to 2 internal drivers. The throttle plate is held at a 7 percent rest position using a constant force return spring. This spring holds the throttle plate to the rest position when there is no current flowing to the actuator motor. The ECM monitors the throttle plate angle with 2 TP sensors. The TP sensor 1 signal voltage range is from about 4.86-0.86 volts as the throttle plate is moved from 0 percent to wide open throttle (WOT). The TP sensor 2 voltage range is from about 0.82-4.14 volts as the throttle plate is moved from 0 percent to WOT. The ECM performs diagnostics that monitor the voltage levels of both APP sensors, both TP sensors, and the throttle actuator control motor circuit. It also monitors the spring return rate of both return springs that are housed internal to the throttle body assembly. These diagnostics are performed at different times based on whether the engine is running, not running, or whether the ECM is currently in a throttle body relearn procedure. Every ignition cycle, the ECM performs a quick throttle return spring test to make sure the throttle plate can return to the 7 percent rest position from the 0 percent position. This is to ensure that the throttle plate can be brought to the rest position in case of an actuator motor circuit failure. Observe, under cold conditions, the ECM commands the throttle plate to 7 percent with the ignition ON and the engine OFF to release any ice that may have formed on the throttle plate.

You can see fuse, correct. With rear defogger turned on, use test light, see if any voltage at fuse or if fuse is blown? Also, check continuity on defogger grid, if no continuity, there is a break in the grid. If you can find the break, hopefully your local auto store has continuity paint that you can paint over the break to restore continuity.

Did you calibrate the actuator ?
