Dash Lights Wont Come On

I have a 2011 Chevy Aveo with 46000 miles. When I was driving the car, the dash lights and lights on the gear shift went out. (the clock and odometer light were the only left on) This sounds very similar to the problems in earlier models where the splice connector had issues, but my fuse box is set up differently so I cant tell.

Yes, first check the fuse, or you can try to check the Dimmer switch.

SOURCE: No 4 wheel drive, no dash lights, no tail lights!

check your relays first (after the fuses) and the vacuum lines if you have those for the 4 wheel drive. Hope that helps

Were the fuses blown. If not it's the probably the bulb. If the fuses were blown check now to see if the new ones have blown again. If they have then their is a short in the wire. Let me know how far you have gone with the repair so I can direct you further.

I would recommend that you check the fuse panel. If the fuses are good, then check the instrument light dimmer switch, if it is bad then the lights will not work. Sometimes they just need to be unplugged and replugged as they lose connectivity. Good luck!

My car wont shift into gear, while stepping on brake, anymore, we need to stick a key into the hole right on the console above the gear shift. Is this expensive to fix, what do we need
It can be as simple as a blown fuse. Do the brake lights work? The brake light switch turns on a soioid that ets you take it out of park. Theres a cable on colullum shifted cars that can break or come off but the brake light swich failing or even the high mount brake light bulbs being burnt out ( depending on what country the car was built for ) the don't what you driving if your brake lights don't work.

I have a 2008 chevy aveo that won't shift into gear unless we press the shift lock release. What is causing that and how expensive is it to fix?
It could be a few things....I just had this same problem with my 2008 chevy aveo this week. Also, my check engine light came on the very next day after the gear shifter started locking. I called Bob Bell and they told me that the gear shifter locking is probably due to a sensor going bad that tells your car it is in park. However, after taking my car to my brother-in-law (who has very LITTLe knowledge about repairing cars), we discovered that my brake lights were not working either. He told me that is why my check engine light is on - because it is extremely dangerous to drive without brake lights. We checked the fuses to make sure there was no fuse blown and they were all just fine. So bottom line, the problem was that there is a brake switch under your dash board where your brake is. My switch keeps sticking and will probably eventually need to be replaced. When the switch works properly, my brake lights work fine, my gear shifter unlocks and my check engine light goes out. Not sure how much it is to fix this switch if that is the problem but I hope it helps!
