#4871 of 4908 Re: 2005 Malibu car lock, radio and battery problems [alexisw] by gonogo Oct 24, 2007 (8:14 am)
Replying to: alexisw (Oct 23, 2007 10:12 am) When you don't open the door when you shut off the engine the power is turned off in 10 minutes. In less than 10 minutes your battery goes dead?    The static current draw is about 25mA, that can be checked at the battery with everything off.   Generator can be checked with a volt meter with a full load.    If everything checks out I would put in a new battery.
#4872 of 4908 Radiator Drain by johnsoned Nov 22, 2007 (7:30 am)
Yesterday I attempted to drain, flush and refill the radiator on my 1999 Malibu (3.1 Liter V6) I tried to open what appeared to be a petcock to drain the radiator by turning a small plastic light green plug at the bottom right side (looking from the front) of the radiator. It was difficult to get a grip on with any tool I had at my disposal, and I was not able to get it to turn very far, or get it open. I finally gave up and disconnected the lower radiator hose, which allowed me to drain the cooling system, but it was a messy solution at best. Can anyone tell me if what I was turning was indeed a drain valve and if it is, should it be relatively easy to turn by hand or minimal force with a pair of pliers. Of course if some one could instruct me on a better way to drain the coolant, I would certainly appreciate it. Replies to this message: gonogo (Nov 22, 2007 8:14 am)

Replying to: johnsoned (Nov 22, 2007 7:30 am) Yes that is the drain. I spray it with penetrating oil and wait 30 seconds or so then turn it counter clock wise to open. Spray it again to close it. Without the lube you can break it .

#4878 of 4908 Supercharger on a 3.1????? by babybu Mar 16, 2008 (6:44 pm)
I own a 1999 malibu, it has a 3.1 V6 engine. i intend on finishing the car as a show car this summer, so it will not be a daily driver, just an occasional hot rodder and show off. Ive stumbled upon a supercharger for this engine. is it a good idea to purchase and install this supercharger. keep in mind that its a front-wheel drive, so ive been told the drive terrain will be under enormous stress with such a dramatic power increase. can anyone here help me?

#4880 of 4908 car radio by staceelj May 01, 2008 (6:54 am)
I have a 2004 Malibu LS. Yesterday, my son ran the battery down. After getting the battery jumped, everything works except the radio. It is not a satellite radio, just a radio with a CD player. I was wondering if this could be a fuse, and if it is, I can't find a fuse for the radio. Has anyone ever experienced this or could anyone tell me where to find the fuse. Thank you.
