I have a wrench with a car swerving light up every once in awhile but I have no idea what it means and I have no idea what stabilitrak is
{: ) A car swerving light on the instrument cluster is the StabiTrak indicator, sometimes called the traction control indicator. A wrench beside it tells it requires servicing.
Your vehicle is equipped with StabiliTrak, which combines antilock brake, traction and stability control systems and helps the driver maintain directional control of the vehicle in most driving conditions.
Traction control activates when the controller senses wheel spin. StabiliTrak will selectively apply the brakes and reduce engine torque to help regain traction.
Stability control activates when the controller senses a discrepancy between your intended path and the direction the vehicle is travelling. StabiliTrak selectively applies braking pressure at any one of the vehicle's brakes to help guide the vehicle in the direction which you are steering.
When you first start your vehicle and begin to drive away, the system performs several diagnostic checks to insure there are no problems. You may hear or feel the system working. This is normal and does not mean there is a problem with your vehicle. If driving conditions delay system initialization, the STABILITRAK NOT READY message may be displayed. If this is the case, your vehicle does not need servicing.
When the StabiliTrak system is both on and actively controlling the stability of the vehicle, the StabiliTrak light will blink for the duration of the event.
You may also feel or hear the system working. This is normal.
StabiliTrak will turn off automatically if a problem is detected in the system. The StabiliTrak light will come on and SERVICE STABILITRAK will be displayed on the DIC. For vehicles without a DIC, the StabiliTrak light and the StabiliTrak service light will both come on. If the SERVICE STABILITRAK message (or StabiliTrak service light) does not clear itself after restarting the vehicle, you should see your dealer for service.

The stabilitrak light comes on my 2006 Trailblazer
Hello: To determine the cause for the light coming on, you will have to have the system codes read to determine, then diagnose the condition so you can repair it.

Does my 06 Trailblazer have a cabin air filter
{: ) There's no cabin air filter installed. If your concern is a low air output, I suggest you remove the front blower motor and clean it with pressurized air. Maybe the blower fins have accumulated dust or debris and this will diminish the air output. Also check the inside of the housing once you removed the blower motor. Sometimes some dry leaves or matter accumulate on the evaporator wall, hence, blocking some of the air. Good luck.

the light of an engine with an arrow pointing down in it what do that light mean
It means reduced engine power. Check for vaccum leaks and at the very least, clean your throttle body. Reduced engine power is like a safe mode, needs to be check out right away.

I tried to lower my spare tire on my 2006 traiblazer and after several turns it stopped and clicked. The manual said it was 2nd safety device and I followed the manual the best I could and it didn't work.
The mechanism (hoist) is bad. It is a sealed unit and will need to be replaced. They are approx. $130 from a dealer. I bought a used one on EBAY for $70 and it works fine. They are not very robust and the dealer has them in stock. To get the tire down I had to cut the cable. The replacement is fairly easy. The assembly comes out with 3 bolts.

how to you enable aux input on a 2006 trailblazer cd player, i have an aftermarket adapter for a mp3 player? Peripheral PXDX PXHGM3 rca/3.5mm audio adapter.
That interface most likely is not going to work, because it is not compatible with all the gm radios, don't work good with XM and rear video system,
the problem is the wiring and the software on the interface,
the PIE GM12-AUX v2 works with all the radios in gm vehicles,
radio needs to have a BAND button and CD/AUX
