Valve stems typically cost anywhere from $.59 to $2.00 to $3.00 a piece depending on where you go.

Sears would probably charge about $2 or $3 for a valve stem in one tire.

Sounds like you've got two different problems, because the brake lights and turn signals are on different circuits. 1. Brake lights. These should work whether the engine is on or off. Check fuse box for a blown fuse. If OK, check for voltage at one of the lights with the brake pedal depressed. If no voltage, brake light switch under dash probably bad. Fairly easy replacement. 2. Flashers/turn signals. The flashers should work with the engine on or off. If they don't, might be a bad fuse. If that doesn't fix it, might be a problem with the wiring connected to the turn signal switch, or the switch itself.

A blown fuse does not create a draw, it makes an open circuit. You need to do some trouble shooting to find the source of the draw. An alternator can be a source of a power draw, or a light left on such as a map light or vanity light.

No - new or not, the regulator in the alternator is not working properly.

find ur fuse box and locate a round silver relay switch pull it and replace it and all should be well!

One video and lots of images thinking the Uplander is also in the Impala. Perhaps it is. https://www.google.com/search?q=2008+uplander+3.9+map+sensor+location ..

Most likely there is an issue with the parking brake cable. Replacing the cable shouldn't be too expensive.

Don't take it off. That is the best thing you can do. I used to work for an auto glass company and every time we tried to remove GM antenna's they would break. If you absolutely need to remove it then remove the whole assembly. Base and all.

My code on my van P0641 does anybody know what that mean

Check your wheel speed sensors for proper operation and for metallic debris, make sure your reluctor ring is in working order and not damaged, if all that appears to be in order, then check it with a diagnostic computer. usually it is a failed WSS (wheel speed sensor) if it is part of a wheel bearing assembly then it is possible you have a failed or failing wheel bearing

Your engine has an electronic throttle body. They don't use an idle air control valve. They control idle by cracking open the throttle plate electronically. If you have idle problems, chances are you've got carbon buildup around the throttle plate. Here's how to clean it. http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/clean-an-electronic-throttle-body

Door jam switch is faulty

the only way to turn off the traction control is to remove the fuse for it in your fuse panel. if the light is on that is usually a sign that you have a bad abs wheel speed sensor. and it just needs replaced. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX0FsAzuuic

Check the fuse block for a blown fuse. There may be a solenoid inside the transmission that finally gave up. Look for poor electrical connections on the wire harness at the transmission and finally, the transmission control module may have failed.

Check fueses and relays in fuse box.Look for blown fuse for compressor. Do not over fill with freon it will lock up compressor and don't forget the oil for compressor.if it's in red let some out in your recovery tank.if you have one wink.wink. the relays are big and grey you can switch with one of the others with

No recall . Reduced engine power is caused by a problem with the electronic throttle control . Having the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes would point you in a diagnostic direction . Viewing videos on how the system works an testing would help . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z34r2Fra7ig&t=806s

This repair is tedious. You will find the thermostat housing located directly below the throttle body. It is tightly set between the engine block and exhaust crossover pipe. There are two bolts holding the housing in place. The lower housing bolt is the hardest one to remove so remove that one first. Any questions please write back. Good Luck.
