Power door locks and driver side power window not working
The solution to this issue was recently discovered during our most recent trip to the shop. We told them not to leave the window down when they changed the battery... BUT DID THEY LISTEN...NOOOO.
So quite by accident I was finally able to correct and then test fail the system and test and fix again...
Here you go.;
1. disconnect the battery and connect both the positive and negative cables together(after disconnected))
2. disconnect the window and lock controller in the driver's side door.
3. Leave cables connected for at least 5 minutes
4. Re-connect door window controller and locks wiring harness
5. Place the key in the ignition and turn to the run position
6. Connect Battery starting with the negative cable(ensuring not to connect then disconnect, (one swift motion)
7. open drivers side door and turn key to the off position(do not remove)
8. You should hear a series of dings
9 Once dings are heard remove the key from the ignition and you should hear the door lock solenoids activate..
10. Congrats.. Your done and the windows and locks work.
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.
05 colorado chimes when open door. drains battery until i pull radio fuse
Audible Warnings Description and Operation
The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical vehicle condition. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) generates audible warnings through an internal acoustic speaker. The IPC receives audible warning requests via the serial data circuit. If the IPC receives multiple audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority sounds first. The following lists the audible warning priority and the pulse rate:
Fast rate chime (200 pulses per minute)
Medium rate chime (150 pulses per minute)
Slow rate chime (50 pulses per minute)
Single chime
Door Ajar Warning
The IPC activates the door ajar audible warning as requested by the body control module (BCM). The BCM sends a serial data message to the IPC indicating the chime frequency and duration. The door ajar warning sounds and the appropriate DOOR AJAR indicator illuminates in the driver information center (DIC) when the following occurs:
• The body control module (BCM) determines that a door, driver door, passenger door. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the door ajar status.
• The vehicle is not in park. The IPC receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating the gear position.
• The vehicle speed is greater than 8.05 km/h (5 MPH). The IPC uses the vehicle speed information from the ECM to calculate the vehicle speed.

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 -----
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.
2012 RG. How can I remove left headlight?
Hello. Twist the headlamp socket counterclockwise (to the left) to remove it from the headlamp lens; clockwise to install. The headlamp 'capsule' 'pushes in' 'pulls out' socket. It's held in the socket with a 'lift up' clasp. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.
