Dashboard lights, gears and doors problems

Chevrolet Impala 2000  157645 miles
Many of the interior lights are not working, windows go down at any moment and even the doors and gears lights do not turn on. The only lights that actually do work are the ones that indicate mileage in the dashboard, and the rearview and the headliner ones only when they want.

Janet. from United States 2 years ago
yes, they said it was the "return line" so we've fixed that ... we changed 2 sensors also & nothing changed.

Did they check the air intake ?
Chad from United States 2 years ago
Try changing the gas pedal. The gas pedal and throttle position sensor are buil together. That fixed my problem of engine power reduced on 2007 Impala.

Put your key in and turn halfway position
Slowly for a four count Press gas pedal down and let back up
Turn key to off then start car
If that doesnt work you may need a new Throttle Position Sensor

Problems with ABS and control panel

Chevrolet Impala 2001  111732 miles
Hello, I have a 2001 Impala and sometimes, when I turn or when I go over a bumpy road, it makes a "runnn" noise and in the service center it turns on the traction control light and some other times the ABS light. TRAC OFF light stays on in the message center and a sort of radiator indicating the coolant level, and it doesn't go away. If someone has any idea to solve this problem or can recommend a place to take the car to, I'll appreciate it.

The problem with the TRAC OFF is caused by the locking hubs of the wheels, and sometimes it causes the ABS issue.
sandi from United States 11 years ago
Thanks for the support, I'll check!
sandi from United States 11 years ago
Hello everyone, I have just checked the front wheels of my Impala and I can tell that the wires going to the abs sensor are cut. I have the ABS and TRACTION OFF lights turned on all the time, but I don't think that is new, because part of the wire is missing and those lights were not turned on before. Could it be that maybe they can be disconnected? Thanks for your comments

Car randomly dies then after a min or two will start

Chevrolet Impala 2004 ls 3.8l 140000 miles
Well as the title sates and sometimes it will be days before it will start again. Most of the time less than 5 min. But when dies its a total loss, brakes steering all power is gone. It did this to me and from what I understand is a common problem the last time it happened it was while I was approaching a red light and I had no way to stop the car I was tboned by a car doing 45 mph. Now I have to replace the whole rear suspension and still have no idea why it does it. Or why it has not been recalled

Did you check the vent/purge canister on the drivers side back of the car inside the fender by the fuel filler neck?
Cstick from United States 4 years ago
How do I do this, or what am I checking for?
Adam from United States 2 years ago
Had this happen once and it ended up being electrical either the starter or alternator was bad once I replaced it it worked fine I believe it was the starter just not 100% sure

Similar problem in my 2012 Impala LT. On one side my drl and side marker light don’t turn on but this is only when I remote start my car. When I turn the key in the ignition, all lights turn on and illuminate correctly.

Mine is the driver side. Can’t figure out.

Air conditioning not blowing cold air

Chevrolet Impala 2012 Impala LTZ 212000 miles
My mom's AC in her 2012 Chevy Impala LTZ isn't blowing any cold air. I flushed the old coolant out and put some new coolant yesterday, and I checked it today and it was empty so I added some more. I don't know if she has a slow leak or what.

Coolant has nothing to do with ac. The ac uses r134a Freon to cool the air inside the car and if her coolant is empty I would suggest that you do a pressure test on the cooling system to figure out where it is leaking

Check engine light on cruise control won't work

Chevrolet Impala 2017 2.5 4 cylinder  153068 miles
Went to O'Reilly's to see what was causing check engine light to come on. But it wouldn't let him read it just kept saying start car and the car was running. He said that it's a fuse or relay.
