2008 Chevrolet Colorado Crew - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Your vehicle is having an anti-theft system problem > A DTC - diagnostic trouble code is stored in the BCM - body control module . Your best bet is to take it to a qualified repair shop an have it checked .

Hi Ron, You might want to take that to the dealer, GM has a recall on most of there newer vehicles for Ignition switch failure, RE: Ignition lock cylinder, key etc, And if your vehicle is an 08 Colorado I can almost bet it will be on either the Manufact. Recall list or NHTSA list. You can go to there site, and put your VIN number in and it will tell you all Recalls, TSB's and Investigations. GM also has a site for this as well.

check your fuel pressure,if not right before you go buy new fuel pump,try new fuel filter 2- take the vacuum line to fuel pressure regulator .if it is wet with gas,the diaphragm is ruptured need new regulator 3- have exhaust shop check you cat convertor,also if you recently have head gasket problem,some of those anti freeze is burned by engine and ran through your cat convertor causes it partially plugged, 4- A bad throttle position sensor could be another cadidate 5- bad or old ignition coil could be also the reason,as it could not produce enough juice on higher R.P.M

I answered this earlier. This should help get you home or to a shop. Turn you ign. keg to just before ,on , "no dash lights" do not start it. now shift into neutral and then start the engine and shift into gear. This is only a temp. solution. The "TRANNY< BRAKE LOCK SWITCH" needs replacing and it needs to be done by a pro, with specialty tools

Tranny Brake Lock Switch has gone out and you have now broken it forcing it out of park. It's part of the steering column and needs special tools for replacement. you have to send it to a shop. Good Luck

check air filter to see if its clean, spark plugs and wires, tire pressure make sure all tires have the correct pressure, wheel alignment will waste fuel. This is just a few things that come to mind. If check engine light is on go to any auto parts store, and they will read the problem code for free. If its on, you may have a bad 02 sensor. That may be the cause of high fuel consumption. Good-Day!

Question edited for clarity and spelling. Question moved to model category. The most likely reason is the reversing light switch which is located on the transmission. https://www.google.com/search?q=2013+chevy+colorado+reversing+light+switch ..

under dash behind glove box

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.

Call any dealership, they have to tell you truthfully if so

It should be behind the glove compartment, squeeze the sides of door and let it hang down, Look uo and to the right side and you'll see the mode door, just to the right side of the the door will be the actuator motor Hope this helps

put park brake on, turn ignition key to on position (no start) turn parklights off and on 4 times quickly (horn should sound twice). If you have or can get a TPMS activation reset tool great. Starting at drivers front, then passenger front, then passenger rear, then drivers rear. if you do not have a reset tool then you can try following method. Take valve caps off of all tires, start at drivers front tire (front left) let out 2 to 3 psi of air, about 5 seconds (TPS will detect this) wait about 10 to 15 seconds for horn to sound proceed to passenger front (front right) and repeat process, proceed to passenger rear and repeat process, proceed to drivers rear and repeat process. If horn does not sound than you will have to turn ignition key off and start over. You may have to re-inflate tires, it took me 2 days of @#$&^# around to get this method to work first time. God help you if a sensor is bad or missing.

I didn’t read all the way through. It sounds like you understand how a relay works. Are you getting a signal for the coil side of the relay? Should one from the ECM.
