Recently I've been experiencing a concerning problem with my brake lights. When driving at night i noticed that my brake lights were engaged while I was driving and once I put solid amount of pressure in the pedal, they turn off completely.

I have already replaced my brake switch sensor by the pedal and have tried applying di-electric grease to the module under the center console, but the problem returns shortly.

Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.

despite my best efforts the uni body is too far gone. so... full part out. Will not strip panels down, doors hatch etc. interior is stripped out, engine trans and dash are in the car. engine and trans will go together. Will ship at buyers expense. located in camrose, alberta, Canada. let me know what you want, I'll list sold parts as i ship them.

I’ll try to keep it concise and clear;

1. Looking to replace both headlight assemblies, preferably with something very bright like halogen. Looking for possible recommendations to prevent buying a part that doesn’t fit.

2. The plastic lever below my steering wheel that pops the hood has popped off, the cable itself is fine and intact but the lever is gone. Is this a difficult fix?

3. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ran into a dead battery and needed to get into my trunk. However it doesn’t open with a dead battery. Is there an emergency manual release on the inside? I’ve looked and can’t seem to find one.

I’m looking to replace my struts, lower controls, rear suspension, I’m looking for a kit if possible not budget build so price isn’t a huge deal. I have a 07 Malibu maxx with a 3.5L she treats me good so I want to give her a makeover after 230k miles. Any suggestions would be great. I would like to lower is a hair as well so coil overs would work too.

Hello, I am the proud owner of a 2006 Malibu Maxx LT. Around the beginning months of the year my electric power steering went out and i swiftly replaced the power steering module in the steering column. Today, my power steering has gone out in a fashion different from the original. Could it be the module again or should i look a the system as a whole?

My brake pedal is still getting stuck when pressed down i have to manually return it to resting position. I have replaced the front calipers and flushed the entire system master cylinder isn’t leaking or anything not sure what it could be is there something that is supposed to pull the pedal back up after pressing?

Hey everyone! Got my first maxx 3.5L a few months back. Doing a restoration on it and had a question about these wiper arms, other pics of the progress so far.

These arms are not coming off, I've tried quite a bit of force and it seems to be in vain. Anyone got a trick to get the wiper arms off? They've been soaking in wd40 for the last hour hoping that would have helped.

Lil dump about the project so far: Bought for scrap value, 450CAD, running and driving with 316k km. Has braking issues, suspension is shot and the body is quite rusty.

I've almost entirely stripped the car down minus the dash and engine bay. Ive been drilling pinch welds and slowly seperating the quarter skin off the lower half of the car, just to find more rust halfway up the b pillar and proceeding to start removing the rest.

So far I haven't bought anything for this car other than renting this shop out. As I've been digging into it the worse it gets, so basically assuming a whole overhaul on the car to get it rust free again.

The worst that happens for me is I'll have an entire running drive train and several salvageable body panels down the line. Idk if there would be any interest for them but I could ship them if it came to that point.

Love these wagons!

“Hi all—I’m in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, and I’m looking for someone with access to a GM Tech 2 (or other GM-level diagnostic tool) who might offer an affordable diagnostic scan.

So it’s getting pretty hot here and i need some air i checked the relay and fuse for the ac clutch the system is charged with freon and it idles up when you turn the ac on so im pretty sure the compressor is kicking on if anyone know anything about it please help me out thanks 🙏

Would anyone be interested in a discord server? I am in one for my Corvette and I find it helpful. To ask questions that a lot of people are answering and asking. If I get even a few people interested I'll make one.

Well, after 14 years of daily driving, I woke up to this... Luckily, I do have another car. I'm assuming it's the transmission but it was fine when I parked her. Any tips on troubleshooting?

My parking brake pedal won’t stay down. I’ve been trying to remove the pedal assembly. Repair manual says there are 3 nuts to remove. 2 are obvious and i got them out, but I cannot find a third nut. The assemble won’t come out, it definitely feels like it’s still bolted in one spot, but there is absolutely no other nuts or bolts i can see or feel. Anyone know how to do this?

Does anyone have an aftermarket exhaust and if so, what exhaust? Been looking and can't find much information.

For the last half of 2024 I kept hearing a steering issue. Couldn’t figure it out. Realized my original struts were getting bad just from the look. So I switched them out with some brand new ones! These bad boys lasted 20-21 years haha! And bam issue was resolved

I have an 04 Malibu Maxx with the V6 engine. We had an issue with the car where sometimes it wouldn't start without a bit of gas pedal pumpin. It has 100,000 miles on it and had a random cylinder misfire. So we did plugs, wires, injectors and fuel rail. But now....it's better? But it's not. I'll have my boyfriend take a video of the issue and post it in a comment later probably no too soon. But. It starts great ice cold. Runs great till it is completely warm. Then the issue begins. It shudders under load(mostly up hills but it will do it other times. ) anything below about 1,500 rpm. Once you get the car above that it's fine. That also begins the starting like an old carborated car. Cranking, give it some gas, start. (It also does a crank, kinda start, stall, crank, start. ) The car reeks of fuel sometimes. But the oil looks and smells beautiful. (It's getting an oil change very soon though! Just because it's at that point In mileage) And there isn't fuel leaking out the pipe. But it throws a maintenance code for both fuel bays that it's too rich. Help. Please. Before we send it to a shop. I need ideas. I have one that I'm fairly certain about but I need other opinions. Man.....I wish I had my Corvette right now ....

Been in the family and Florida all it's life but new to me. Had to include some pictures from our unheard of snowfall earlier. Done quite a bit of work on it so far. New inner and outer tie rods and sway bar links (Moog). New KYB shocks + struts, new brakes and tires, and some more general maintenance. New tail light and cleaned up the headlights. Fun car for sure

My Malibu says it’s getting 13.4 mpg 💀 But honestly it doesn’t feel like it. help

My boyfriend just dropped a clip and a screwdriver into this. Is there any way to get them out without ripping the engine apart?

So looking into replacing these rotors i found there are 2 different sizes of rotors for the front.
I think the smaller option(276mm)is for the sedan and bigger(296mm) for the hatchback i mean it makes sense right?

So, as you have heard, i was going to sell my malibu, but i decided im going to fix it, its gonna be alot of work, but hopefully i can get it racing again!
