Well then you do not have a P0128! That prevents the A/C from running.

Why is this the first mention of fuel gauge?

Has the ignition recall been done?

As I said to begin with; you should start a new thread stating exactly your circumstances. Don't leave anything that you think is inconsequential out.

Your problem is not the same as the OP from years ago.

What were the numbers, how did they check the charging system.
My 6 year old battery was pronounced dead at 12.2 volts! Not enough to keep Oldblue starting and charging in this cold weather.

So. In your other thread several of us told you to get the CEL codes pulled. Now you go have the battery checked and I assume did not check the charging system.
(and yes. Disconnecting the battery erased any codes)
Sorry, but I'm having a little troubling helping you if you aren't going to follow the suggestions.
FWIW. There are some very "car smart" folks on this site. We can't help you if you don't help us.

Guess I'm out ?

migjesse20 - please read your private messages asap, and before posting again. All your other postings on old threads asking the same basic question have been deleted to clean up the threads. Please keep your postings regarding this problem to THIS thread.

It makes it so much easier to keep track of the questions/answers.

We appreciate your co-operation with this.

door locks don't lock when shifted from park and transmission slips & more

My 06 HHR with 177,XXX MILES locks won't automatically engage when shifting out of park or back into park, and they sometimes lock and unlock themselves while idling on park the transmission begins to have a hard time shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear and rpms flutter, if I let it sit for about an hour sometimes it goes back to normal it does it every now and then, the car was in the chevy body shop for about 2 months after being in a minor accident the hood and the radiator were replaced they had to jump start it when i picked it up its been 2 months since i picked it up and everything else is fine i need a few repairs my cv axle is making a small knocking noise but it isn't leaking or broken yet, and i have a check engine light for code P0128 that came up twice at auto zone when scanned its engine coolant temperature, my starter is starting to go south it sounds kinda funny when i crank it up in the mornings. 2 days ago it wouldn't restart after i drove it just around the corner, parked it and then came back to turn it on, maybe it had to do with the weather being -5 degrees outside but after i had it towed it started just fine SMH. This problem with the transmission started right after i picked it up from the body shop, i got the battery checked twice and auto zone said it is still good and i checked the rear 50 amp fuse by the battery as well. Let me add that only when the problem of the locks is going on my cruise control won't engage it simply just won't work, and my fuel gage while driving flutters as well, im really getting stressed over this problem. Just to finally add if i disconnect my battery and reconnect it all my problems go away for a few miles and then they came back, I already got locked out once out of my car because the doors locked by themselves once already. Please Help!!!! THANKS IVE PROVIDED SOME YOUTUBE LINKS FOR REFRENCE ON WHAT MY PROBLEMS ARE

Threads merged. Jesse please, keep it in this one thread.

This certainly is an electrical problem. Loose or corroded ground, or the battery headed south. If AutoZone can't give a printout of the results, try calling around to find someone who will. You don't need to remove the battery.

And have them test the charging system too while you're there.

What should the readings to the battery be? How do I know it’s good and not just what autozone tells me
