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.

Very easy. Undo the electrical connector, remove the tube, remove the bolts. Videos in the link https://www.google.com/search?q=2018+Chevy+Malibu.+replace+windshield+washer+reservoir ..

Check the fuses for the radio control unit and the power amp

Could be the trunk release relay ,located in the rear fuse/relay box . It's under the back seat . trunk fuse # 22 10 amp - located in the same rear fuse box. Could also be the trunk latch actuator ,could be a wiring issue , could be a BCM - body control module problem . The trunk lid open button is a input to the BCM . When the BCM see's this input it energizers the trunk relay . Do you know how to look at a wiring diagram an use a voltmeter to test automotive electrical circuits ? If not ,your best bet mite be to take it to a qualified repair shop.

GET NEW GASKET AND FILTER FOR TRANNY ALONG WITH THE FLUID (BEFORE YOU BEGINE) GET A LARGE FLAT DRAIN PAN. PUT CAR UP ON 4 JACK STANDS. place drain pan under tranny pan. undo tranny pan screws - allow one corner to hang lower than the other corner (to allow fluid to drain) slowly remove them all. Its messy! empty tranny pan into drain pan. set tranny pan to the side. undo the filter clamp, carefully remove the filter - set into the drain pan, remove the gasket around the tranny body/tranny pan. Clean tranny block surface with clean cloth. install new filter, install clamp tightly. Clean tranny pan, place gasket onto pan and then reinstall tranny pan. (this only change the fluid in the tranny body and pan) If you wan the fluid out of the torque convertor you have pull the pan under the torque convertor and turn the convertor so you can get at the drain plug. Allow fluid to drain into drain pan. Reinstall drain plug and pan. (you will need a lot of fluid) Check manual for qty. Place car back on to ground/floor. Refill tranny through filler tube. Do not start the engine until oil is at full mark, and when you do start it do not all it to run for than 4 minutes - stop and add more fluid and check full mark again (repeat until no longer sinks below full mark. gently test drive around you block -- come back and check level while engine running. Top up if needed. Siphon out excess above full mark. Test drive around 3 block, come back check full mark. Because the torque convertor was emptied it can take a while to get all the air out it.

It isn't good to take the battery off any CAN-bus car - the majority for many years. When a battery must be changed it is best to use a memory saver to keep the systems alive for the duration. Not using a memory saver can cause minor and time-consuming irritations but should never upset the way the engine runs or performs. Your description indicates your car has coincidentally developed a completely unrelated fault which you should have checked out.

Explain what it is doing exactly please.

to start to narrow down the problem , first run the fault codes and fix the codes that are reported

The answer to this question involves multiple solutions. Timing in it self involves a couple different items that are normally replaced through wear and tear. Now depending on the vehicle you have I will name off a couple different options that might be your cause. -Loose Bolts (with engine vibrations I have personally seen this happen plenty of times) If the vehicle has a plastic cover like most smaller engines do which make it easily accessible then you can remove it and take a flash light and look. Unfortunately if the timing cover is not easily accessible then this isn't possible without a couple hours of work. -Timing Hardware (tensioner, idlers, guides, sprockets ext..) -Belt that may be missing teeth and getting close to coming apart will cause some noise from timing area. These are some of the few options I can think of but more information is needed as far as year make and model. Hope this helps.

That might not be a engine code light (faults). It might just be a reminder light to have the care brought in for a tune up. Check your car manual, it should explain this.

Look for a SEARCH BUTTON , Press button, when stations found , they will be on each station selector button, to keep station on any button , press button , then station is locked to that button

Try the dial next to the headlight switch the one that moves up and down. This could be locked in on position
