    Transmission auto downshifts

    My original 2014 LTZ trans would downshift by itself going down a steep grade whether or not the cruise was on but not set, on and set, or the system was turned off. I replaced the transmission with a 54,000 mile 2015 unit about 18,000 miles ago and it has also started doing the same thing...

    HID Headlamps in 1 LT

    I have a 14 LTZ and changed to Morimoto HID’s. I bought aftermarket replacement headlight housings after I started getting a weird beam pattern from the left factory headlight. The new housings are just as bad. After flipping the wiring harness and bulbs around the weird pattern moved to the...

    HID’s’s will be a pain in the butt because I just did mine three weeks ago. Your best bet would be to go with Morimoto two-stroke 3.0 or the GTR Ultra 2 LEDs. They cost about the same, but the LEDs are plug and play straight from the factory wiring harness. Going the other route, you’re going to...

    Is the car unlocked when you try and open the hatch? I presume you know that the hatch will not open if the car is locked, whether you were in it or out of it.

    2020 Equinox Headlamps

    No matter which bulbs you choose, you will need to make sure your headlights are adjusted properly and not aimed up to high off the ground. There are plenty of YouTube videos that show you exactly how to do that based on marks on the headlamp itself.

    2020 Equinox Headlamps

    Unfortunately you are going to have to spend a couple of hundred dollars to get what you actually want. The Morimoto two-stroke 3.0 or the GTR Ultra 2 is what you want. Each of those is over $200 a pair. I just converted my LTZ projectors to 50 W HID low beams, and have just discovered that...

    NOT CV AXLES...When I turn my 2017 equinox makes a clicking noise

    My 2014 LTZ is doing that too! It started about a year or so ago and it only does it when I turn right and at low speeds. I was like everybody else and figured it was the CV axle going bad, because of the mileage on this car and them never having been replaced yet. The boots are all intact. My...

    2013 headlamp replacement

    The big one just behind the fender well cover is for the low beam, and the small one inboard of the big one is for the high beam. You will not be able to see the one for the high beam bulb. It will all need to be done by hand, or should I say by feel. Be careful when putting them back on because...

    Stuck dust covers

    So 2 weeks ago I went to put a different set of low beams in my 2014 LTZ. Over the years I’ve put quite a few bulbs in the car trying to find something that is bright and gives me a good beam pattern on the road. As I may have mentioned, or not mentioned, I live in deer country and see them...

    Fix or trade?

    Here is another update on this engine. Today, I’m replacing both the intake and exhaust variable valve timing solenoid’s, because one of those has failed as well and is throwing a check engine light and the code for them. And since it has been apart, the cradle dropped, and the CV axles pulled...

    Fix or trade?

    So, the second week in August, with my Equinox now having 244,500 miles on it, I went ahead and pulled the trigger and purchased a 2016 Equinox 2.4L, Federal emissions build, with 40,563 miles on it and an accompanying transmission with 56,000 miles on it, with a six month warranty. I may have...

    Camshaft and crankshaft position sensors.

    It has not even been one year since I changed both of these sensors. Two months ago. I also changed the VVT sensors. Since I keep getting error codes for the cam and crank position sensors, do you think it is because I have a timing chain issue since my engine now has 241,000 miles on it and...

    Power windows

    I currently own a 2015 equinox LTZ. I’ve noticed over the past couple of months that the window motors are slowing down and struggle to raise the windows. Is that all it is and is this a common problem with these with age? If I replace the electric window motors would that solve the problem? I...

    Fix or trade?

    I have a 2014 equinox LTZ four-cylinder that has everything but navigation with 208,000 miles on it. I purchased it when it had 87,000 miles on it. It was 4 years old at that time. Everything on this car is still in very good shape. It has the leather interior and the paint color is diamond...

    Car swap

    Hello all. I just left the Acurazine forum and came over here for a few years, I hope! My 2 owner 2005 TL laid down after I racked up 182,000 miles on it myself, for a grand total of 302,000 miles. I purchased a 2014 Diamond White, low mileage 4cyl LTZ, 6 days ago. It has the chrome package...
