It means the unit isn't reading your CDs/DVDs. It most likely means the unit is broken and needs to be replaced. There is no fix that I know of for CD/DVD units, only replacing.

What alarm ? content theft alarm ? No fuse When armed, the content theft deterrent (CTD) system is designed to deter vehicle content theft by pulsing the horns and exterior lamps for approximately 30 seconds when an unauthorized vehicle entry is detected. However, the CTD system does not affect engine starting. An unauthorized entry can be any of the following with the CTD system armed: • When any door is opened without first being unlocked using the keyless entry transmitter • After a battery reconnect, if the battery was disconnected with the CTD system armed The components of the CTD system are: • Body Control Module (BCM) • Security indicator • Door ajar switches • Liftgate ajar switch Is this the alarm your talking about ?

Try adjusting the latch mechanism.

Very poorly designed. You can try pulling inner fender wet off and see if you can access bulb. I have done this on arcadia which is same car. There are plastic plugs and screws, remove enough to get your hand in there.

Hey Jd.. How lang has it been since the dealer "repaired" it??..is it still in their warranty??.. try this number for help..have your records available... Be PERSISTENT!! CONTACT US GMC Owner Assistance

There is probably a small drain on the battery - perhaps the luggage compartment light isn't switching off. The car alternator isn't really capable of recharging a battery due to it's high internal impedance. It is better to recharge it independently.

The problem might be that the alternator is faulty or the idle screw is making the engine run at a very low speed when idle.

I haven't found a bad motor yet. It has always been the magnetic lock. Its part of the regulator. It is because of the coil burns or the gears strip out(plastic) . The regulator is on the drivers side, of course at the rear of the vehicle. You have to remove the bezel at the top, the is a square on it(pop it off) that has a bolt/screw to remove. The bottom bezel needs popped off to a point. It does need to be removed, but pushed up to a point that you can get to the regulator. If you want to remove it, the rear seat has to come out. Remove the bolts holding the regulator. unplug the electrical connectors.. Just a note. I do electrical/electronics on cars. I do have to pull panels sometimes to get to motors like these to check. I use a scanner to check every aspect of the/any system.. It could be a bad switch in the dash.

check your fuses and relays --if good will need to pull up the switch from arm rest panel and test the switch when window open rain does drip down into switch

The AC box that contains the Evaporator core is not sealed properly, or the drain is clogged again. Check the drain again, it exits under the car on passenger side base of engine bulkhead.

Either bad switch or actuators door

What switch ? what linkage ? Fuse ? Your going to have to explain a little if you would like help !

This us an answer you will find on you tube or google! Good luck!!!

Christina, I do not think you have to take it off, what you do is pull in on tabs(sides) of open glove box and over open glove box so it swings down out of way of fuse/relays access if yours is equipped like this. Your car has fuses and relays under hood and interior of vehicle. I posted video links for both, check them out first. "I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
