2008 Chevy Malibu LT 2.4 Cluster Gauges Not Working
Make sure your ignition switch is working first (does everything light up and working with the key in "ON" position) then try ACC position, does the radio work? If all that checks out then it would be the stepper motors on the instrument cluster are bad, there are several repair kits available pretty cheap since they are a common problem
I replaced the power lock switch on the driver
All the lock's ,were locking an unlocking or just the driver door lock ? Probably wasn't the switch ,more likely a bad input to the BCM . The door lock's are computer controlled .
Do you know what a BCM is ? body control module .
Each door lock switch is wired to the body control module (BCM) through a separate door lock/unlock signal circuit. While these circuits are separated between the BCM and respective door lock switch, they are connected into a single circuit within the BCM. The BCM supplies voltage through the door lock/unlock signal circuits to each door lock switch. When either door lock switch is operated, this supply voltage is pulled to ground, providing the BCM with the required lock or unlock signal. In order for the BCM to distinguish between a lock and unlock signal, the lock switch contains two separate paths for this voltage to flow to the same body ground. When the switch is operated to the unlock position, the supply voltage flows to ground through a 1.5 K? resistor. When the switch is operated to the lock position, the supply voltage flows to ground through a different part of the switch circuit, which has no resistor. The BCM then interprets the flow of voltage as a lock or unlock request and powers the door lock actuators to the appropriate lock or unlock position.

I have a 2006 Malibu 2.2 4 coils miss on number 3
You may have a coil failure or spark plug failure on #3. Swap coil and plug of cyl#2 with cyl#3 and see if problem moves to cyl#2. If so, it will be a plug or coil. I wouls recommend changing both
2008 Malibu 2.2 miss on n4mber 3
If plugs and wires have been replaced recently double check connections with engine cold and off..If you know plugs and wires are good then your problem should be a faulty coil....
What is the reason for Panasonic Stereo (MALIBU CAR) one side sound not coming
Are you an electronics engineer.
Do you have all the test equipment.
Can you read wiring schematics.
If the answer to any of the above is 'No', you will have a hard time. You can check the 'Balance' knob setting first as you may have all the sound directed to one side. Check the wiring connector on the back, but that is about it.

How replace trunk lid torsion bar 2005 malibu
There are two rods, one has rubber on it. I just replaced the one with rubber on it. Looking at the one rod that was still in place, you can see it mirrors the rod you are going to replace, the placement is just opposite the one that is in there. The rod has a left end that is a square "C" shape, and the right end has a "V" bend right before the end. First position the rod above the seat release cables (if you have them) then position the "V" end near the inside right top of the trunk. Then slide the left "C" end into one of the three slots (I used the bottom slot). Leave it loose so it can rotate with just the tip in the slot. Slide the rod to the right so the "V" is above the spring clip (don't clip it in yet). The right side and the left side of the "V" has to fit into the tabs underneath and inside the top of the trunk. Compare to the left side to see how it fits. Once in place, you can then lower the "V" down to the clip and snap it over the bottom tip of the "V". These steps are easier if the trunk is propped not fully open. I had someone lower the trunk part way while I lay on my back inside the trunk, and I used a small open end wrench to bend the rod slightly to get it to fit into the tabs. The final step is to position the left side of the rod so the torque will hold the lid open. I used a small open end wrench, placed it over the tip in the slot and rotated CW upward until straight part of the rod slid over the hook to hold it in place. This last step had me concerned that I could bend or break the rod, but I went slowly and carefully and was quite happy when it snapped into place and held the lid open.
How to replace a thermostat on a 2012 malibu ltz 3.6l?
You need to partially drain the cooling system. THe thermostat housing is located on the driver side of the engine block above the transmission bell-housing. Just follow the big radiator hose on the driver side and it will lead you to the housing.THere are the radiator hose,two heater hoses, and another hose leading to the surge tank that you will need to remove from the housing. 3 bolts secure the housing to the block- remove these bolts and remove the housing. You can now remove and replace the thermostat and install a new gasket- i would recommend coating the gasket in SIL-Glyde or Vaseline. Torque the bolts to 89inlb, re connect the hoses. Refill cooling system with antifreeze and burp all the air out.
2014 Ecotec. How to fix service brake assist, service stabilitrak, & ABS indicator light?
First get your braking system checked by a qualified mechanic! The light comes on because the electronics have detected an issue. You might also need to get the vehicle plugged into a diagnostic system or an obd2 scanner to get the Diagnostic Trouble Codes, (DTC's). Get prices at 3 or 4 different garages as prices for diagnostics can be VERY different! Once repairs are done some dash warning light will turn off automatically.
