The red airbag light on dash. Not the amber console light. yes my amber pass light is always on.

I was going to replace my pass seat cushion and took out seat. unplugged module harness under seat. Then changed my mind and put everything back. Now I have airbag light. I am sure all is plugged in. Now what?

Nice effort. No response by OP since thread #1.

Found an 06 and seller says it has cracked head. and new wp and thermostat. Used to overheat. But is ok now. 80 mi away. Unknown miles. Then I found one w/113k miles and same issue but 20 mi away. Might go see it and look for subframe issues.

the wiper cowl area has to drain water somehow. I’ve never heard of issues from this “trough”. Maybe use a hose to soak this area and see where water drains? I tried to clean salt stains from carpet in this area yesterday. The sill carpet is really hard/crusty. But dry.

sister replaced her 08 gas tank due to leak. My kid bought it 2 yrs ago. Sis never gave me details. Just $$$ for new tank.

Coolant in exhaust smells funny. Is this they said and you haven’t looked at it?

a chain job is 1500-2000? A new motor is $5k. I hear lots of stuff on how poor the 3.6 is. it works now? Ok suv is worth more. it has chain issues? It’s worth less a rig with used ok motor is worth same as one with new motor. I assume mechanic thru out repair costs?

How long have you owned it? the 3.6 does have chain issues and most shops don’t like to deal with comebacks.

The equinox I just got has blizzak tires. I need non winter tires. Found a set of (3) vue wheels with nice Michelin tires. 235/55/17 which is a bit undersize. But, $100 for 3 wheels/tires is ok. edit. Found a set of 4 equinox wheels/tires for $80. But 44 mile drive. A/s tires. Same wheels as my...

I noticed my dash indicator says “I” when I shift to “D”. I know it’s for intermediate per owners manual. Seems to drive fine. I don’t notice any engine braking per manual. I shift from neutral to drive and dash skips over the D and shows as I.

Who cut wires? You? Or shop? cut wire? Repair cut. plug fac harness into adapter.

Technically that’s unauthorized entry. Nothing was broken? was anything taken?

My 06 I just got has newer struts. I can see old stickers on shock top. It has a good click/clunk on bumps. I changed struts on previous equinox to fix same issue. But, I didn’t change he strut mounts. Dumb move. So I got to take struts apart twice.

Starter is out? Normally the flex plate is unbolted from torque converter on trans removals. I don’t know if it could be a hang up. Look at new motor and count all bolt holes on bellhousing. You can compare new motor mounting holes to current motor. It’s an Asin af-33 Trans. A toyo trans might...

You don’t need to pressurize the coolant system. The motor is doing it for you. You added coolant. And see leak. Could be waterpump. Could be hose. Can you fix either?

you ordered kit on Nov 21. Where is it? Been 10 days

Cyl with reddish exh valve certainly looks suspect? 06 equinox 120k miles. Seller had it for couple months and person they got it from said they had gaskets done in the past. Didn’t say how long ago. It has metal intake gaskets so I assume intake has bee

I’ve heard replacing the chains is a lousy job. would hate to spend $400 on kit and find out motor has more issues. I am doing heads on a 3.4 now and have a 2nd lined up. Really don’t want to try a 3.6. Though, new 18” tires/wheels sounds nice.
