Replying to: andrac (Nov 11, 2006 8:34 am) Spacer gasket in between the body and firewall. However this very ulikely unless you had major body repair done on that side. I should have clarified the last post a little better.   It may seem like it is leaking down the right side, but if it is also noticeable dripping from the underdash light, or the left side of the firewall...It is coming from the heater deflector and is probably running down the dash to the right side. It's easy to tell. Once you pull HEPA filter out of the way after you notice the leak, use a flashlight to look down into the intake. You will probably see water inside.

Replying to: mandrell (Nov 14, 2006 3:25 pm) thanks for the information, thought I was going to go nuts wondering where the water was coming from.

Replying to: mandrell (Nov 10, 2006 7:12 pm) In order to remove the cowl I assume you will need to remove the wiper arms. How do you do that? Is there anything else that needs to be removed to access the deflector? Replies to this message: nosirrahg (Nov 21, 2006 9:37 pm) middleageguy (Nov 23, 2006 10:36 am)

Replying to: teberlein (Nov 21, 2006 8:33 am) I couldn't find a mention of what model Impala you have, but here's a great site on the 2000-2005 Impala from an owner in Hawaii http://www.impalahq.com/   There's a "How to" button on the left side of the home page, and from there if you scroll down to almost the bottom of that page there's a link titled " Want to know how to change the Passenger Compartment Air Filter?" This will take you step-by-step (with photos, arrows, etc.) through the process. Granted the 2006-2007 Impala might be slightly different than the previous model, but you should be able to use this info as a guide at least to attack yours.   I've tried to e-mail the guy that built the site, but I think his e-mail isn't valid any more. He may no longer be an Impala owner, as the last date I can see on the site is from July 2005, but if not I hope he keeps the site up for the rest of us; it's a great resource for things like this!

Replying to: nosirrahg (Nov 21, 2006 9:37 pm) The guys site from Hawaii was good, but not kept up to date.   Try this site which has a number of Impala members and topics on everything.   http://www.naioa.com

Replying to: lilbrown (Nov 19, 2007 5:42 pm) Easiest way I know of is to go to AutoZone; they'll read trouble codes for free, and when they do they'll give you the option of resetting the light or not. When my 2000 was fairly new I got a check engine light; took it by and they read a code that had something to do with a misfire on a certain cylinder. I had them reset it, and within 2-3 days it came back on...so I knew at that point it was a recurring problem and not a one-time glitch. Ended up being a clogged fuel injector, which was fairly expensive to get cleaned as I recall. Ever since I've run a bottle of fuel injector cleaner through every time I change the oil, and I've had no more problems since (and that was probably 5-6 years ago).   If AutoZone can read the code and tell you what it is, at least if you then take it to the dealer the next time it happens you'll have a rough idea of what the problem should be.

Replying to: meemaws2cats (Feb 21, 2008 9:17 pm) Low coolant is one possibility, or air in the cooling system (did anyone open it up recently to change a hose or add coolant?)
