The fan is located in the passanger footwell. Get your head down there and look up at the bottom of the dash. the housing is behind the glove box, the fan is mounted to the bottom of the housing.

If there is an issue with the pressure in the system, the ECU will not allow the compressor to run. Check the coolant high and low pressure point pressures are within specification.

you may have a limp mode issue, solenoid issue or a transmission wiring issue. that would be a start

Check the fuses in the engine compartment

Standard Motor Products part # V415 is the valve I see listed if you're careful you can reuse the hose. I hope this helps. Take care.

Steering shaft broke , take it to a qualified repair shop.

Might be in that mode or the vent cable might be broken in dash that controls direction of air flow.

Wiring, schematic, electrical diagrams, fuse diag, error codes, torque settings etc are basic contents of these online books they have here on this website www.reliable-store.com I have attached. Must check it out

code p 0496 refers to evaporative emission (EVAP) system---high purge flow===causes ---wiring --EVAP valve---mechanical fault code p 0171system too lean bank 1===causes --intake / exhaust leak---AIr system---MAF/VAF sensor--fuel pressure too low/---pump--injectors ---Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) with the first code it could be a faulty vent valve or solenoid with the second code , it is probably a faulty HO2S unit ( the one in the exhaust manifold before the cat converter)

Is the belt tight enough or is it good?. That could be the first cause. Second, check that big cable from the battery, also the ignition cable.

check connections of bulb might be need sanded

code p 0601refers to engine control module (ECM)--memory check--sum error=== causes --ECM code p 0420 refers to cat converter system bank 1--efficiency below threshold===causes cat converter --wiring --- heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) in exhaust manifold before cat converter At this point get a known good ECM unit and substitute it for the old one as all indications are a problem ECM unit

Please need more details. When that started, did you do anything to your Chevy before?

Building a reliable fuse box isn't rocket science so it is surprising so many manufacturers fail in this simple but essential bit of equipment. Because these days the fuse box is integral to the wiring harness instead of a plug-in unit, replacing one of these overpriced overcomplicated overengineered nightmares is a fairly major undertaking. The conventional solution is to employ an auto electrician to bypass the defective sections. Sometimes this is easy and cheap and sometimes a circuit diagram is needed and rather more time. The trouble begins as a 2006 model probably uses a great deal of digital electronics and it is difficult to know where they begin and normal systems end and when a problem does occur it is difficult to know whether the problem is with normal electricity or digital - even the wipers... As the wipers won't switch off it doesn't seem like the usual fusebox fault but I would need to study the circuit to look for clues. If necessary it should be possible to fit a temporary kill switch to the wipers fairly easily and quickly. 120 to the dealer to just take a look and give an opinion seems like a rip-off.

Try fuel injector cleaner. 2 bottles in full tank or one in half tank. Walmart black bottle.
