2006 Chevrolet Colorado Questions & Answers
2006 Chevy Colorado. I just lost my truck ignition key! How can I start it without a key?
You can't. The security system and immobilizer is there to stop EXACTLY what you are trying to do, start the car without the key and security code credentials.
Your local dealership with make you a key based on the VIN Number. Then you have to reset the security system.
Or you can try a local mobile locksmith.
Or find the key. If you lost the key in the snow, look up 'Ring Finders', a global network of metal detectorists that find lost rings and keys.
Why won't my 2006 Chevy Colorado crank or even turn over
are you getting any power --is fuel pump coming on //starter getting power etc -does the dash light up when key turn on to start --use a multi meter and test circuits power to fuse box and continue checking for problem -----
My 06 Colorado 4-cyl will not turn over.
This sounds like it could be a faulty starter motor. The 'click' is the solenoid switch engaging but the motor itself isn't moving. You'll need to swap out the starter and the solenoid as they are one single unit. Changing them isn't complicated. 1 small wire connector, 1 large wire connector and 2 bolts holding it onto the engine block. The hard bit is actually getting to it to swap it out. They are often jammed into tight inaccessible places where you will lose the skin off three knuckles and one elbow getting it out.

HOW TO REPLACE RADIATOR 2006 CHEVY COLORADO
I think you have a lot of room, look at what has to be removed, drain coolant, disconnect the hose remove fans, transmission lines they have o rings for leaking oil, use adjustable players to remove clamps, fill up coolant and let the air off by bleeder.
Locating turn signal relay on 2006 Chevrolet Colorado. I can here it but can't find it
Your hearing it coming from the diver side front speaker . There is no relay , the BCM - body control module makes the turn signals work . What problem are you having ?
Turn Signal Lamps
The FRT TRN/HAZ/CRTSY/MIRR/CARGO and REAR TURN/HAZ fuses in the underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the body control module (BCM). When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, a signal is sent to the BCM to illuminate the desired turn signal lamps. The BCM has an internal flasher that sends an ON-OFF voltage signal to either the left or right turn signals and their instrument panel cluster (IPC) indicator. When the hazard switch is pressed, a separate ground signal is sent to the BCM to activate and flash all turn signal lamps including both IPC turn indicators. The front and rear turn signals are grounded at G105.
The IPC illuminates the TURN SIGNAL ON indicator in the driver information center (DIC) when the IPC determines that the turn signal is active for more than 1.2 km (0.75 mi). The BCM sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate the audible warning.
Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.
Starter problemsup
If the PassLock light is on, there's a fault code stored in the computer. The ONLY way to turn off the light is to get the code and fix the problem.
2006 Chevy Colorado Truck. Gas tank filled and fuel gauge indicator dropped to 1/4 full, when truck is idling fuel gauge drops to empty and low fuel light comes on. Suggestions? Thank you.
Check and or test fuel gauge sending unit and the gauge . Videos on youtube showing how to . Also i would have the vehicle checked for DTC's - diagnostic trouble codes . You may want to think about taking to a qualified repair shop .
Fuel Gage
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the fuel level as determined by the engine control module (ECM). The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the fuel level percent. The fuel gage defaults to empty if:
• The ECM detects a malfunction in the fuel level sensor circuit.
• The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.
• The BCM detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
DTC P0461
The fuel level sender changes resistance based on fuel level. The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the signal circuit of the fuel level sender in order to determine fuel level. When the fuel tank is full, the sender resistance is low and the PCM senses a low signal voltage. When the fuel tank is empty, the sender resistance is high and the PCM senses a high signal voltage. The PCM uses the signal circuit of the fuel level sender in order to calculate the total remaining fuel percent in the tank. The PCM sends the fuel level percent via the class 2 serial data circuit to the instrument cluster in order to control the fuel gage. The fuel level information is also used for misfire and evaporative emission (EVAP) diagnostics.
