01 chevy Malibu: I installed a new head unit and had not put the install kit, so it was sitting lose. The unit fell out of the dash and now the lights for the gear shift and speedometer/etc are not working. I put the stock head unit back in (it worked) and the lights are still out. I do not know if this is a wire problem or a fuse problem. Thoughts?

SOURCE: 01 chevy malibu will not shift out of 2nd gear

its possible that your intake manifold is leaking down onto the spark plugs causing the problem to check pull a spark plug out and see if the tip is covered in oil

You will need to have the radio reset or checked out at the dealer.Ther could be a cd stuck in it.Or the radio/CD player may have be on when the battery power got to low.

SOURCE: My dash lights don't work.

this got easy after a while 2 ways, i had friends who would not take the time to spend 8dollars to buy a harness connector for a new cd player and would splice everything together like takeing the red and yellow wires and connecting them all together as one. this drains ur battery unless ur cd player can completly power down by the power button not all do... but keep this in mind on GM cars the 2 wires of the same wires like purple the one with a black stripe is ground they go together stripe on stripe also there is 2 extra wires one is ORANGE and BROWN u dont need these dont even mess with them even if u have a connector block them off THESE TWO COLORS IS FOR FACTORY STEREO IF SO THESE WIRES CAN AND WILL MAKE IT SO U DONT HAVE DASH LIGHTS so always buy a connector ond dont mess with these wires block them off and dont ground them out.

06 chevy malibu daylight sensor dropped into dash

Just remove the windshield pillar moldings and then you will be able to pop up that whole panel that goes across behind the dash part. Then you can reinstall that sensor. Gotta remove the moldings first.

How do i take the dash apart to install my new head unit i am planning on buying?

If your replacing the instrument cluster then your vehicle may not start because it has to be programmed to your vehicle identification number after it is installed.This can only be done by the dealership.Hope this helps.Good luck.

I have a 98 malibu and the taillights and dash lights do not work

dash and tail light are on the same fuse, if you lose your dash lights most people will check for the cause due to no speedometer, did you use a wiring kit for your application,

Stereo Upgrade in 1997 Sentra

hi there. I am not sure about the speakers. But there is a wiring harness available for a aftermarket head unit. I have a '97 sentra the base model XE version. I have just put in an alpine head unit and you defenately hear the difference even on factory speakers. But you will need 2 kits to install an aftermarket head unit in the car. 1. A dash kit. I got mine from canadian tire for about 20 bucks, it comes with instructions on how to put it together and its straight forward, just make sure u get the one for your year and make of car.

2. The wiring harness. there available at mostly every car audio place for about 10 bucks. again make sure u get the one for your year make and model of car. installing this is difficult so unless your good at electronics get it professionally installed. you have to splice the wires into the back of the aftermarket unit, then the plugs plug right into your existing factory car harness.

hope this solves your problem, the dash kit is easy to put together and install into the car, but the wiring harness is a bit difficult, i had my harness installed for about 40 bucks and u save money if u put the dash kit togehter yourself because thats 1 less thing they have to do. good luck.
