#1244 of 1515 Winter Tires by denise16 Nov 28, 2008 (6:08 pm)
I have a 2005 Chev Equinox - this is the first time I have put winter tires on a vehicle....ever! My all seasons were P235/60R 17. The tire dealer did not have this size but said that the P235/65R 17's would work. I had them installed and besides being noisy (which I was told to expect), when I cut the wheels sharply (to back in a space etc.) they scrape like crazy! Are these tires too big for my vehicle? I wondered also if maybe the mudflaps were causing it. Being a novice to winter tires I'm not sure if this is normal or not. Please help. Replies to this message: bdyment (Nov 29, 2008 10:20 am)
#1245 of 1515 Dash vents by meandmymaxx Nov 28, 2008 (8:03 pm)
Hi all, I have a 08 LT I find when I have it in dash vent mode or any combination of the vents the one to the left of the steering wheel does not blow very much. I know it wont be as strong as the center vents, but it seems to be really lacking. Just wondering if anyone else has experience this, or is it just me?? Thanks Replies to this message: klnnc (Nov 29, 2008 4:07 am)

Replying to: meandmymaxx (Nov 28, 2008 8:03 pm) Yes, I noticed the same thing...I bet the passenger side does it too. Did you also notice that when you have too much running, i.e. the radio, AC, lights that the AC fan cuts down no matter what speed you have it on? It cycles down a step. The reason is that the generator in the car cannot handle the load put on it. Chevy knows this since they sent out a notice to the dealers and there is nothing they can do about it. Also, do you have a bang sound from your left front end when you first drive the car, and again after it has been sitting for a while...it happens only at 20 mph, once, and then not again. Example, if you get up to 20, hear the bang, then stop, it wont happen again when you get to 20 unless the car has sat for while. Mine is a 2008 and I am dissapointed in quite a few things....probably would not buy it again if I had to do it over...

Replying to: denise16 (Nov 28, 2008 6:08 pm) You have gone to a taller tire and they are definitely too large. Tire dealer should replace free of charge.

Replying to: oceanbreezesue (Dec 30, 2008 7:21 am) The fuse for the accessory outlet and lighter are in the under hood fuse block. It is labeled AUX PWR. It is a 20 amp fuse.

Replying to: hate_my_nox (Oct 13, 2005 11:35 am) if you clean the seats, you will have a waterspot, right. if you get the whole seat wet, the whole seat is 'water-stained'- which actually just darkens the seat a little, but you cannot see a stain. just wet down the entire seat
#1251 of 1515 MP3 Auxilary Jack feature by WesMantooth Jan 06, 2009 (2:33 pm)
Can anyone else tell me their experiences using the Equinox MP3 Jack/Aux feature with their iPods? We just bought a 2008 Equinox and the jack works, but you have to crank up the volume just to hear it. Thanks. Replies to this message: klnnc (Jan 06, 2009 4:06 pm)

Replying to: WesMantooth (Jan 06, 2009 2:33 pm) Be sure that the volume is up on your ipod first...then the volume on the radio control. Can you tell me if you have an LT or LS
#1253 of 1515 ABS and TC light on by equinox3 Jan 07, 2009 (9:39 am)
I have a 05 model. for the last six months, the abs and tc light keep coming on. It's an intermitten occurance and the dealer can't diagnose unless the light is on. I took the car to Midas when it first started happening since the car is out of warranty. They replaced the left front wheel bearing three times without fixing the problem. they finally returned my money. The problem continues and the brakes are starting to feel like they are 'binding". this also happens intermitten. Does anybody have any idea what is going on?
