Hi,
my 2009 HHR starts to make some problems...

It start that the central lock doesnt work. I thougt it was a fuse but everything in the fuse box is fine. A couple of minutes later everything was fine.
Two weeks later no central lock, no lighter, no ac, no heater blower....
After two hours it works. The problem is that it happens in the last weeks very often and i am afraid that it will become a bigger problem.
Here in germany it makes no sense to drive to a chevy dealer because the can only fix captiva,spark and stuff like that !!!
Does anybody has an idea whats goin on in my car ??

Thanks from germany

Is "central lock" the same as remote door lock?

I would be suspecting that the under hood fuse block has jiggled itself loose. Also check the red cable connection to the fuse box and any wire that connects to the frame of the car or to the engine block (ground, earth).

Yup, in Europe they refer to remote locking as central locking, and you hit all the probable causes Don.

Another day, another problem. Yesterday my wife start the car and "Bing" engine controll light and traction control are on. In the display " Motorleistung rdeuziert" ( reduced engine power)...............
She was so happy

When i came back home i started to search the problem. After 3 hours of seeking and checking the wires i found the problem.

On the driver side under the dashboard are grounded wires and the screw was loosen. Fix it and everything is now fine.......

So we can start next week for vacation in sweden. Thank you for your help,
and greetings from germany
