What is the reason for Panasonic Stereo (MALIBU CAR) one side sound not coming

Are you an electronics engineer. Do you have all the test equipment. Can you read wiring schematics. If the answer to any of the above is 'No', you will have a hard time. You can check the 'Balance' knob setting first as you may have all the sound directed to one side. Check the wiring connector on the back, but that is about it. ..

97 Malibu. V6-3100. Starter turns engine, but car

I think you may have answered your own question. I would check to see if the fuel pump is turning on when you turn the key on to the run position. You should hear a buzz sound coming from the gas tank. I would start there.

How replace trunk lid torsion bar 2005 malibu

There are two rods, one has rubber on it. I just replaced the one with rubber on it. Looking at the one rod that was still in place, you can see it mirrors the rod you are going to replace, the placement is just opposite the one that is in there. The rod has a left end that is a square "C" shape, and the right end has a "V" bend right before the end. First position the rod above the seat release cables (if you have them) then position the "V" end near the inside right top of the trunk. Then slide the left "C" end into one of the three slots (I used the bottom slot). Leave it loose so it can rotate with just the tip in the slot. Slide the rod to the right so the "V" is above the spring clip (don't clip it in yet). The right side and the left side of the "V" has to fit into the tabs underneath and inside the top of the trunk. Compare to the left side to see how it fits. Once in place, you can then lower the "V" down to the clip and snap it over the bottom tip of the "V". These steps are easier if the trunk is propped not fully open. I had someone lower the trunk part way while I lay on my back inside the trunk, and I used a small open end wrench to bend the rod slightly to get it to fit into the tabs. The final step is to position the left side of the rod so the torque will hold the lid open. I used a small open end wrench, placed it over the tip in the slot and rotated CW upward until straight part of the rod slid over the hook to hold it in place. This last step had me concerned that I could bend or break the rod, but I went slowly and carefully and was quite happy when it snapped into place and held the lid open.

2009 Chevy Malibu 3.6. Thermostat housing torque spec please.

Question turned around for clarity. Question moved to model category. Probably the same as Impala? https://www.justanswer.com/chevy/7fo9e-chevrolet-impala-lt-need-torque-thermostat-housing.html I just learned that there was revised torque specs for this engine. I missed that bulletin current specs, 89 inch lbs or 7.4 ft lbs. Best idea is tight and a little bit more. https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+Chevy+Malibu+3.6.+Thermostat+housing+torque+spec Service Manuals https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+Chevy+Malibu+3.6.+%22service+manual%22 ..

2012 Chevrolet Malibu. I ran through a puddle of water and now have no power to the starter?

Question edited for clarity/spelling, wrong 'threw', wrong 'know'. Question moved to model category. Test Relays 31 and 32 https://fuse-box.info/chevrolet/chevrolet-malibu-2008-2012-fuses-and-relay Interesting diagnostics on the second video., probably not relevant to your issue, but then again, a quick douse in cold water could crack that bus wire if it was hot. It also shows how good auto electricians are.

Are there 1 or 2 wires that go on power side of starter

A typical starter motor on an internal combustion engine has two wires that connect to the power side of the starter. The first wire is the battery cable, which is connected to the positive terminal of the battery. This wire carries power from the battery to the starter motor. The second wire is the solenoid wire, which is connected to the solenoid on the starter motor. The solenoid is an electromagnet that, when energized, completes the circuit between the battery cable and the starter motor. Please note that, I am assuming you are talking about a car starter, in case you are talking about another type of starter please let me know to give you more specific information.

2008 Chevy Malibu LT 2.4 Cluster Gauges Not Working

Make sure your ignition switch is working first (does everything light up and working with the key in "ON" position) then try ACC position, does the radio work? If all that checks out then it would be the stepper motors on the instrument cluster are bad, there are several repair kits available pretty cheap since they are a common problem
