I have a bad front passenger washer nozzle on my 2008 Equinox, How do I remove it for replacement

If your clogged you can use a sewing needle to clean out. If it's broken you may need to go under hood and use a pair of pliers to pinch the underside of the washer nozzle. GOOD LUCK FRIEND.

2005 lincon aviator charing system 12.2 volts after alternator install

check the black/orange wire at the alternator for battery voltage if no power check the fuesable link ( A )

check the orange/light blue wire at the alternator for battery voltage if no power check the fuesable links ( B & C )

check the light green/red wire for 12 volt with the engine running if no power replace the PCM.

if all wires have the proper voltage then replace the alternator

GOOD LUCK

I bought an used equinox 2007 and the light for the traction control service and stability service just went on. How bad is this?

This just happend to me in my 07 Equinox, and they told me it was the throttle body sensor going out, and need to replace the entire throttle body which for some reason isnt covered by even the extended warrenty. Your looking at about $700 bucks to fix if it that on yours also.

My Equinox has less than 36,000 miles and has a blown head gasket. We know this because of hose pressure and water on the oil fill cap. What would make this happen? Is this common with the 3400?

A blown headgasket isnt what you have, unless its been overheated. You have bad intake manifold gaskets, have them replaced before you ruin the engine bearings. VERY COMMON

2005 equinox LT wont start after I just drove it to the store got back in to go home. It is making a clicking noise. I had to have it towed. The power windows were slow going up. No lights, or inside...

sounds like you lost your alternator...anytime your lights dim or radio fades or windows are slow
thats a sign that your battery isnt taking a full charge...could have a cell going bad.....how old is the battery...if more than three years its a good chance its seen its last days you could try trickle charging it over night but buy a new one instead.
Do you steam clean your engine a lot? well if you do keep a rag over the alternator so it doesnt get wet....makes them last longer.

Vechile is overheating I believe the thermostat is stuck close

Hi, there isnt really a way to unstick it. The thermostat has a wax pellet that expands when it is operating causing the spring inside to open the thermostat letting the coolant flow properly. All you can really do just replace the thermostat, its a simple job as well
