Replying to: giz5220 (Dec 30, 2006 4:45 am) It only happens periodically and mostly more often when it's cold outside, primarily when the temps below freezing. Works all summer. In the winter it seems to come back on once my trucks has heated up and been driven for 30min or so. May be condensation on the contacts...or ??? Did anyone try pulling the door apart and cleaning the contacts? Did it work? Anyone isolate the problem? Thanks, Chuck

I just purchased a 2007 regular cab Canyon and was doing a little reading on here and found something regarding bed alignment. I have a very light wind whistle (i wouldn't even call it a whistle) and after looking noticed the bed does seem to be out of line with the cab a little bit. Although it looks like if you move it one way it will be out of line on the other side. Is this even worth going to the dealer about? Will they be able to align the bed or will they look at me like I'm crazy??

Replying to: msc43283 (Jan 13, 2007 7:14 pm) So far, I've: Aligned both the cab AND bed to the frame. They were within 1/8" or, so, but now I have it dead on; Applied a layer of Cascade sound deadening mat to the back of the cab, the roof of the cab, and the inside of the door panels; Filled the winshield header channel, and A-pillars with Dap-plex expandable foam sealant; Filled the gap around the rear window/body interface with 5/16" rubber tubing; Added a piece of 7/16" foam weatherstripping from the top of the door, where the OE stripping ends, downward, to where the door handle is, to seal out rushing air; Applied a coat of liquid Dynashield to the underside of the floor of the cab, for both rust proofing, as well as sound deadening. Like I said, I've improved the situation, but it still is annoying, especially in a crosswind.

Replying to: giz5220 (Dec 30, 2006 4:45 am)  Thank God I don't have that problem. Then again, my truck is a 2005. They must have worked out the bugs from 2004 on the 2005 Colorado's. On my 2000 Silverado, I did have that problem. Found out water was getting into the doors because the seal that separates the window from the door wirings had a gap. Whenever it gets wet inside, the door lock and windows wouldn't work right. I took the door apart, found where the wrinkle is on the sheeting. Thoroughly dried everything that was wet, lubricate moving parts, and installed the sheeting back. Problem did not occur since then. Then again, I traded the old Silverado for a 2005 Colorado. |

Replying to: islandcorner (Jan 22, 2007 8:34 pm) Don't worry, I'm not a panic inducing freak, but I worked around loud equipment at my job for a long time, and as a result, I now live with continual "ringing" in my ears. It's subtle, but it's still there. That being said, I also enjoy a good sound system, both at home and in the car/truck. I was considering upgrading the setup in my Canyon, but until I can get the cab noise level down a little more, I don't consider it a worthwhile modification.

Replying to: chuck1234 (Jan 11, 2007 7:39 pm) 1. check all fuses. 2. remove driver's side control panel and check that all of the plugs are tightly in place.( this was my problem. 3. According to the Colorado Owners list, the final repair is to replace the control panel with part# 15141484. Although this an intermittent problem and mine started workin g again on the way to the dealer (naturally), the tech got it to stop working again by driving over a bumpy road. It was his guess that repalcing the control panel simply resulted in properly attaching the connectors. They are holding a new control panel for me just in case. I hope this is the cure, I'll let you know. I hope you find this helpful. Mike |

Replying to: mike2250 (Jan 23, 2007 6:36 am) One of my co-worker's fathers has a Colorado similar to mine, and he's driven it several times. He recently rode in my Canyon and commented on how much quieter my truck was. Personally, I think I've done all I can, and the source is actually the shape of the rear pillars of the truck, which are creating some sort of turbulence. I've spoken with a couple of people who have the extended, or crew cabs, and they don't hear the noise that I do. This reaffirms, in my mind anyway, that it's realted to the rear pillar, and since the longer cabs place the driver further away from it, it isn't as noticible. |
