If the wires change to brown colour they are likely heating up and you need to find out why. Is switch faulty, or is the fan faulty?

Not if the engine is getting up to normal temp. Could be low on coolant or a problem with the heater core or a blend door under the dash.

It could be a bad coil assembly, or dirty fuel injectors. I would look at the coil box first.

I would check the fuel cap first. If it is missing or not sealing good. This is more likely the problem. Other problems could be a leaking fuel tank, leaking evap canister or evap system hose laeking. Check these first.

If it turns over when you turn the ignition key and you have power. Check too see if it is getting gas. The fuel pump could not have enough pressure to start the engine. When you first turn you key on listen and see if you hear the pump runs for a couple of seconds. If no sound probably fuel pump. Do a pressure test first.

what's the question? It's bad, change it

2 or 3 things could cause this. Could be a defective bulb that's burnt out but still comes on from time to time when the wires in it touch (tends to solder together with the spark it makes when they touch, but it's a very fragile solder so breaks after a while and can go on like this for a bit). Could be a bad/dirty/corroded light socket in the dash. And could be a bad/loose/dirty/corroded ground that the instrument cluster uses, usually located in the driver side kickpanel. Other than that the only thing i could think of would be broken/frayed tracks on the electronics board in the instrument cluster itself, but i've very rarely seen this happen. Hope this helps.

check to see if the cam shaft is turning while cranking the engine (broken timing belt) run fault codes to find faulty sensors.

The security, antitheft or lock picture/icon is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link explains it pretty well. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

Motor or transmission mounts. Inspect and replace.

serviceit before 1200 miles

it's by the firewall pass side in the plastic blower box. Multi wire plug and two screws are showing.

deffinatly get it checked or just dont beep at people unless the world or a life depends on it

i would recommend that you check the fuel relay. which is located in the fuse box under the hood. if that is fine then it could be a short in the power supply near the fuel pump or anywhere else along the wire. check for splays. but most likely the fuel relay if not the fuel pump itself.

THE PINS IN THE LOCK CYLINDER ARE STICKING, BUY SOME GRAPHITE POWDER LOCK CYLINDER LUBE FROM ANY LOCK SHOP OR HARDWARE STORE, SPRAY IT INTO THE CYLINDER AND WORK THE KEY IN AND OUT OF THE CYLINDER, IF THIS DOESN'T DO IT U WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE IGNITION KEY LOCK CYLINDER.
