Possible Fuel Pump Safety Switch by erica2960
Apr 26, 2009 (3:41 pm)
Reply
I recently hit a very large pot hole, my car immediately stalled and I was unable to restart the car. The car would turn over, but there was no fuel pump noise and it wasn't getting any gas. The dealer that I purchased the car from told me that if you are in an accident of impact, that there is a safety switch that has to be pushed in order to restart you car. It has something to do with the fuel.

I don't believe your car has one of those. Only some automakers use this device. I'd look for another problem. You might only have jarred a fuse loose.

Has anyone had the backups sensor quit working. Mine was intermittent then quit, now it has had 4 new modules put in and they still have my car. They just can't seem to figure out why they don't work.

My first guess is that you have a fuse that is bad.
2nd guess is that the switch on the dash is bad.
3rd I know that dirt on or around any of the the backup sensors will keep the sensors from working. There might be something blocking one of the sensors and causing them not function.
 
However, I would have one person start the car, make sure that the backup function sensor is turned on and not in the off position, then place the car in reverse (while pressing and holding the break) have a second person walk around the vehicle to see if any of the sensors will set off the backup system/alarm. There are several areas around the vehicle such as left & right front bumbers along with the back left, right and behind the bumbers that should set off the backup sensor.
 
My best guess is that you have a fuse out and they most likely replaced the back up sensors and did not need to. I hope you find out the issue. Please let me know. Best of Luck!

Power Outlets by dwettstein

I've lost power in both front power outlets. The owners manual shows where the fuse is located for the rear outlet, but not the others. I checked every fuse in the inside fuse panel, and all were good. Any Ideas?

After 4 days at the dealer and giving them your suggestions still not fixed. This is the 3rd time it has been at the dealer trying to get the sensors fixed. I just hope they give me the $350 I paid the first time they said they were fixed. We are all giving up, it is always going to be a mystery.

The fuse that you need to replace is located in the engine compartment. You may want to refer to your owners manual. We just replaced ours. The power outlets in the front and back of my vehicle were out. Hope this helps!

I have recently purchased the clips for the bottom of the windows but I have no clue on how to run the cable that generates the elevations of the window by the motor. I really need your help

AWD DISABLE by swimswan

I recently noticed that when I start my vehicle, the AWD DISABLE light comes on...not sure what that exactly means, and if it is a problem. I have a 2005, and only 52,000 miles. One day it went off, but now again this morning it was on. Thanks for any advice.

Other then a tire that is really low on air, the GM dealerships computer will likely point out a wheel sensor (part of the hub/bearing assembly). It is fairly likely that it is the connection to a sensor that is loose or corroded.
