Re: HHR Check Chg Sys [lorie1] by 33wd33

Hi,
 
Today I got the "Check Chg Sys" light, but this was after a horribly loud bang noise, some hissing, grey smoke, and a burning smell coming from under the hood as I pulled to a stop. Had my 3 month old HHR towed to Chevy and learned that the AC compressor had locked up and snapped the drive-train belt which ripped up a hose as it snapped. Mine is in the shop and will likely be there for "at least a week" while they try to locate a compressor.
 
I was told the "Check Chg Sys" light came on because the belt that snapped also controls the alternator and it was not working as a result.
 
Needless to say, I'm picking up a complimentary loaner car in the morning.
 
Honestly, I love this car so much that I don't really care that it's had this problem. I am confident that once I get it repaired it will work fine after that. Hopefully, the new compressor will solve the loud compressor whine that it had from day one (and that so many other HHRs seem to have).
 
Good luck with your HHR! These are great little cars!

Be sure to check the discussion list for new topics here in the HHR group. I've moved the recent posts on radio problems to the HHR Audio & Entertainment System Questions discussion, so you may continue there.

PROBLEMS with my HHR by sinof7476
Jul 20, 2006 (9:40 pm)
My husband installed and Airaid Intake into our HHR. When he went to turn it on with the remote and then turned it on manually it shut off and made a piercing sound. He tried to put the stock one back and the car still would not start. Is there sort of a reset button that will make the car start again? Please Help . Thank you.

That doesn't sound good. I haven't heard of anyone else having this happen, but just a thought, try disconnecting negative battery cable then unplug and plug back in MAF connection and ensure its tight then re-connect battery.

INSIDE MIRROR WITH COMPASS by 52chevy
Jul 21, 2006 (1:41 pm)
I JUST PURCHASED A HHR FOR MY WIFE. SHE LOVES THE VECHICLE BUT MISSES THE INSIDE MIRROR WITH THE COMPASS FEATURE. MY LOCAL CHEVY PARTS DEPT. HAS THE MIRROR. BUT THE CONNECTOR ON THE MIRROR IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE I HAVE. DO YOU THINK THE WIRE HARNESS IS ALREADY IN THE HEADLINER???

Thank you.. We discovered after pondering and worrying all night and reading the manual.. that it was because the key was left in the ignition... it discrambled his key. We tried my key and everything is A okay. I drove my baby to L.A. this morning and she sounded and rode beautifully.
