+We have the same problem with the door locks. we got locked out late one night and I found out if you turn the key with a pair of pliers it will unlock with the extra leverage. I plan on tearing into the doors to cure the problem . we just dont lock the car now. Bob

I have a 2007 HHR and I try to set the cruise control and nothing happens. Also, when I put it into park, it does not unlock the doors as it used to. Are these two problems related and can they be fixed? They both started happening about the same time

Have you check the fuse box...probably a jumped fuse.

I thought of that, and I guess it is just finding out where the fuse box is. I really have never had the necessity to check it before and now will have to find out where it is located. Thank you!

tubbytb,
 
There is a section designated to your vehicle's electrical system in your manual (includes diagrams of the fuse blocks). It starts on p. 380 of the 2007 HHR manual.

#19 of 21 Module issues by lulu76

Jan 22, 2013 (12:44 pm)

I am guessing I am having trouble with this same electronic module you are all mentioning. The remotes for my doors haven't worked for months. I assumed the one I used all the time needed a new battery (even though the car is supposed to tell you when it's low) so I switched it with the other fob. I wasn't using it because when I tried to remote start with it, it set the alarm off. Well, lo and behold. Now the original one still doesn't lock it right and when I try to remote start now they BOTH set off the alarm. I just got a lot of fun looks in a parking lot. The dealer replaced them once already under the bumper-to-bumper because they fell apart.
 
My other issue is that the check engine light, power steering and ESC all go on and off intermittently. The power steering seems to be the only one that's a big issue. I haven't tried the cruise, but I'll be doing that on my drive home.
 
I guess I am going to have to suck it up and take it to a dealer. I am wondering how much all this will cost. I looked at trading the #$% thing in, but there aren't any new HHRs left and I surely don't want one without a warranty.

My girlfriends 2008 HHR has the door lock problem. The fobs have not worked for over a year. What module is it that causes this issue ?

Good morning Dan,
 
I know it's probably something you've probably already looked into, but have you two tried replacing the batteries?
 
I'm not sure if a fuse would be a problem, but there's information on the electrical system for the 2008 HHR starting on p. 5-119 of the manual.
 
Let me know if this is something you're thinking about working with a dealership on - I'm afraid that aside from the above thoughts I'm rather limited in my troubleshooting abilities.
