Question edited for clarity. Question moved to Model Category. Take it back to the garage and ask them to fix the problem under the warranty on the job. They are working before and now they aren't. They left something disconnected, blew fuses or damaged a relay.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category/ They can only go in one way. The is a notch in the rotor that has to fit on the shaft. It put on wrongly, you can't get the cap on.

Have you checked fuses? the most common problem is a bad fuse, make sure to check the fuses located under the hood ,check them all, there are light modules and other components that run power to tail lights. also if you use the tow hitch and light hook up and the fuse is bad then also check and see if fuse pops with trailer connected ,if it does then check wiring on trailer lights

Were is oil sending unit on a 1998 chevy z71 silverado 5.7 liter? Oil pressure is dropping to 1/8 of gauge

go for deep and loud and the road department will love you for the extra revenue you will be providing with the fines next the fuel companies will be loving you as well because deep and loud is poor performance and that means extra profits for them you are replacing an exhaust system but leaving the stock headers on and not putting extractors on what you need to do is go up 1/2" in pipe size, refit cat converters ( gets you past the smog tests), remove any unnecessary bends and fit the correct muffler best if you rethink what you want and talk with an exhaust shop specialist as to what you need to get performance , pass the regulations , get economy and still come up with a lower frequency noise one thing that you haven't considered is this fact --- deep and loud contribute to driver drowsiness on trips and that makes you loose awareness and fall asleep at the wheel

What switch ? GM vehicles have instrument cluster problems that can cause a parasitic drain or draw on the system .Testing for current draw across the fuse is the best way to test for a draw .

It is a multifunction switch that you have to replace. It is easier to remove the steering wheel first. However, it can be done without removing the wheel, with a little encouragement. Next, you need to remove the steering column cover, and the knee panel. Once all the panels are removed, follow the wiring harness from the multi-switch to the plug and unplug it. Remove the switch from the column and reverse procedure for install. Should take about an hour to an hour and a half.

make sure the ground strap from the frame to the body is solid and not corroded. A lot of electrical probs are caused by poor ground. Sounds like maybe the switch of wiring to the switch is questionable.
