I am having the same problem with my 2008 Equinox. I took it to get the inspection done, It will not pass because I put a new battery on it. I have went to 2 places and driven 500 miles. It still won't pass. Is there anyone out there that knows how many miles you have to drive before it will pass inspection? I am worried that I will get a ticket before this vehicle passes.

2007 Chevy Equinox. Speedometer and temp gauge randomly won't go to 0 when truck is turned off. Also get a random stability track message.

Unlikely to be the battery, but they can be checked very easily.

you need a good auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose all the electrics.

I lost power steering on a 2007 Equinox after changing the serpentine belt. Any suggestions?

Are you sure you have the belt installed correctly? Not hard to make a mistake. Did you get any oil or fluid on the belt? Did you change belt tensioner at same time? Usually a good idea.

How to reset power steering on 2007 chevy equinox

My power steering system in Equinox 2007 just stopped to work without any reason. I tried to find solutions and found out that there was no dedicated fuse for it. Which means that it is under the computes's control. What should we do with any computer first if we have problems? That's correct - restart it! :-)
I disconnected the battery for 30 seconds and voila - no issue with power steering anymore. No expensive parts, no 80 amp fuse replacement, no service of any kind :-)
