Check fuses. did this happen all of the sudden? did you or someone recently change the stereo, reason I ask this is there is a continuous power wire that connects the factory stereo to the guage panel usually a yellow wire, and if it's no longer connected or incorrectly connected then that would cause your gauges not to work

SOURCE: 2000 Chevy Malibu blower motor doesn't work on

remove dash insulator from under glove box. then move bcm to one side, fan resistor is beside the fan blower motor. the resistor will keep fan speeds from working. remove wiring and screws from resistor then take it out.

SOURCE: 99 Chevy Malibu running hot

Cooling system should be pressure tested to find leaks. If leak is not external, look for intake manifold gaskets leaking coolant into the cylinders. Make sure you fill at the radiator as well as the plastic reservoir. Low heat from the heater is the first sign of low engine coolant

SOURCE: Change headlight on 2008 Chevy Malibu

Hi there,

Well first you can please follow the below steps -
1. Make sure the ignition key is in the off position and the headlight switch is off. Release the hood latch.
2. Open the hood and locate the top of the headlight assembly where you intend to change the headlight. If a plastic shroud is present, locate the center bolt and remove it with a ratchet and a socket. Lift the shroud out of the way to access the headlight assembly retaining brackets. Some later models may feature a snap-release shroud requiring no tools to remove.
3. Locate the brackets on the top rear of each side of the headlight assembly. Lift them all the way up to align the hole on the bottom of each bracket to the retaining tabs on the assembly.
4. Pull the assembly forward away from the Malibu, but be careful not to scratch the bumper. There are three guide pins that require unseating. The guide pins are what aim the headlights and it may take some wiggling to get the pins from their seats.
5. Support the assembly with one hand and then reach behind the unit with the other. The low beam bulb is on the outside, the high beam bulb is on the inside. You can also replace the parking light if desired. Locate the wire harness connection. Un-clip the wire harness from the back of the bulb socket. Remove the bulb by turning it counterclockwise 1/3 of a turn to align the release tabs of the ring and the assembly. Wiggle the bulb out of the assembly.
6. Place the latex gloves on your hands before opening the package of the replacement bulb. Oil in our skin can damage the glass bulbs of halogen headlights.
7. Carefully insert the new bulb into the ring and then align the tabs of the ring to the tabs of the headlight assembly. Push inward and then twist clockwise 1/3 of a turn to lock the bulb in place. Reattach the wire harness. Rest the headlight assembly inside its cavity and test the operation of the headlight before securing the headlight assembly in place. Be sure to turn the lights and ignition back off.
8. Align the three guide pins to their seats and push the assembly back into them gently until they snap into place. Replace the retaining brackets by pushing them downward to lock into place. Replace shroud, if applicable. Remove the tools and old bulb and close the hood. Post comments for further help or information......

Good Luck!!

SOURCE: my 2008 chevy malibu fuel gauge dose not read only

this is caused by a defective gas gage sending unit, the sending unit is part of the fuel pump module inside the gas tank, the gas tank must be removed to replace the fuel pump module that also contains the sending unit.

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

Well you've lost power to one or two major circuits. Could be a problem with the key switch or a major fuse in the engine compartment.
I would check the fuses for power and find out which ones are dead then go from there.

The engine temperature gauge on my 2008 chevy malibu keeps fluctuating from hot to cold while driving. The car is not over heating and I have added more coolant just to be safe and the gauge is still going...

The two most common reasons are low coolant or a sticky thermostat.
Low coolant can cause air pockets in the cooling system, and a sticky thermostat could be slow to open and close.

There is a problem in the shift linkage or internally in the transmission.

i suppose you have checked all the fuses and they all checked ok,the fuel gauge may be reading incorrectly due to a faulty sending unit which is mounted in the fuel pump module in the fuel tank,and the instrument lights may not work because the multi function switch may be faulty ,other than that you could have a electrical problem
