This sounds like a direct short to ground. The fuses are blowing to protect the battery and vehicle electronics. This needs to be looked at immediately to prevent damage of any other vehicle electronics and damage to the new battery....
This may suggest a failing voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is a unit that regulates the charging of the battery (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/battery-will-not-hold-a-charge-inspection) by the alternator. When the voltage regulator is not working properly, this may result in the alternator allowing too...
It sounds like you may have an evaporative emissions system leak. Your car has a small purge valve with a purge solenoid (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/evaporation-vent-solenoid-replacement) in the Evaporative Emissions system that controls the venting of fumes from the fuel tank as these...
You used the correct viscosity rating. If the oil level is above the full line, reduce it to the full line or below on the dipstick. If the oil level is too high or too low that could cause the...
Hi there. It definitely sounds like the bushings you mentioned could be the cause of the noise. However, worn shocks/struts can create a similar feeling or noise if they are worn out and not providing the dampening force necessary to...
Hi there. In most cases when this issue occurs, it is due to an obstruction inside the heater core. The coolant system flows through the heater core to supply heat. Over time, the heater core will develop sludge and debris...
This may be a result of low transmission fluid (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/transmission-fluid-service) or potentially a faulty transmission control module. A faulty transmission control module may cause a delay in acceleration or erratic shifting of gears. The transmission control module has various sensors...
Hi there: Typically when the steering wheel is hard to turn, it is caused by low power steering fluid. The fact you continue to fill it and it remains low, indicates that there is a leak somewhere within the system...
Hi there. Typically the issue you're describing could be related to the EVAP vent solenoid, but I wouldn't rule out the EVAP canister purge solenoid (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/canister-purge-solenoid-replacement). When this component is damaged, it can cause similar symptoms you're experiencing with your...
This light will usually come on when one of two things are happening. Either the motor is in fact low on oil or the oil pressure sending unit (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/oil-pressure-sensor-replacement) is not working properly and may be producing a faulty reading....
Wow... 329,000 miles on your Chevrolet Uplander. Assuming you are still on your original engine, that is a long lived vehicle. If your Check Engine Light is on, YourMechanic will use an electronic code retrieval tool to download the DTC's...
You need to verify if the electrical cooling fan is coming on when the temperature gets up to or above normal range. if fan does not come on then this is the cause of the overheating and will need to...
Hi B.B. There are several reasons why a car won't turn over, however, if you are able to bypass that by manually activating the starter, then it's quite possible that the dealership is correct in this case. The ignition system...
Hi there. Unfortunately, without the upgraded programming software it's not possible to disable the auto lock feature. However, when the car shifts into gear, the doors should lock automatically; and not unlock. This is the safety feature's intent, so it...
A logical first step is to have the battery load tested (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/battery-is-dead-inspection) and, at the same time, measure the output of the charging system to determine if the charging system is functioning. If the battery fails the load test (OR...
Hi there. Check the switch to the headlights and see if there is a break in the wiring. Check the fuses and see if there is any fuse that are blown. If the fuses are good and there is no...
Hello. To answer your question, the best way to remove the axles it by disconnecting the ball joints. The noise you are hearing can be coming from a bearing, an axle or from the transmission. I usually check the bearings...
