Thanks! I am leaning towards a bad switch. She said the express down worked on the old switch (one of the few that did work on it). When I do not engage the express down, and hold the switch, the window is smooth and does not bind

2013 Acadia SLE I just replaces 3 window switches (drivers and both rear) on my sister in-law's Acadia. The rear windows would go down with one switch but not up, so between the rear switches and master switch all windows did work. The driver had total control over the driver's window but no...

Thanks for the diagram. I pulled the trim off the gate, and discovered the the plug is fished out through the hole on the gate. then I checked to see if I had 12v coming out of the purple wire on the LGM (I did) I also then had 12v at the tabs on the glass. Either there was a loose plug or...

All 3 30 amp fuses under the seat are good. I know only one powers the LGM but it was easier to test all 3 then figure out which one is the one I needed. Is there a separate breaker for the defogger?

Now that is turned cold again I just found out my rear defroster is inop. Is there an easy way to access the main liftgate electrical connector? I popped the rubber boot off the top but I didn't see it. Do you have to pull the headliner down or pop the plastic trim off the gate? What I know...

After 13 years I finally have to change a plate light, but after 13 years of New England salt, the screws will not budge. I don't want to strip them out, and screws do not look healthy themselves. Are they not just screwed into plastic? Can I change the bulbs from the inside? Any other tips...

Nothing to bend on the board, it is just some metal lines that when then back (graphite?) button touches it the circuit is connected. I only get at most 1.5 to 2 years of trouble free before I have to start the cleaning ritual, and the car being a 1997 they are getting hard to find on flea-bay...

Are there any suggestions on how to clean and maintain the contacts in the key fob? The the unlock button on my Saturn's (almost the same at the TB) well work great for a few years, then start to get touchy. I take some alcohol on a cue tip and clean all the contacts(on the board) and it will...

The 06+ has the temp sensor on the passenger side rear of the engine. I changed out the T stat not now at 208 (a hair above the 210 on the gauge now) Now that I think about it it has not been up there in a year now. The lower alt. bolt was a pain in the _______, the AC lines are right in the...

I just ordered a Tstat from Amazon (AC) I thought about getting temp sensor too because "I'll be there" but then found out mine's not there, so I doesn't matter. (mine's an 06) My question is, if it turns out I need to do the sensor too, can you do it with out a crow's foot?

If its stuck open wouldn't it take forever to get to the 170s temp? Tomorrow I am going to shoot the block with my IR temp gun to confirm that the temps match

I just took a 200 mile trip today and for the fun of it I monitored the temps via my new Autel. outside temp 20's F when we started and 40's by the end, engine temp rose quickly and stayed in the 170's for the trip. Trans temp took a long time to rise (30 min of driving 50mph) and stayed in...

I picked up another inner tie rod end. The Advanced Auto one comes with a grease packet.... do you just squeeze it into the recess around the ball/socket, and put never seize on the outer end's threads? Yes, I know Locktite on the rack threads. That's what I did last time, doubt that why it...

Well I cured the symptoms but now to fix the initial problem.... I activated the GM software for my scanner and found the misses limited to cyl 1. Cylinder 1 and 2 plug hole had water in them, the rest were dry. Dried them out and let it idle for 10 min while I played around with the Autel...

I surly do not want to shot the parts cannon at it. New AC 41-103 plugs between 95-100K SES light was blinking on hard acceleration but then stopped and it went back to its random miss at idle. Only code was a pending P0301. Live data is showing Short term FT between -2 and +2 with long...
