See if the manual switch in the fuse panel cover will operate wing....also check for obstructions....noise....it should raise at about 42 MPH and lower when stopped. I am assuming the error message is indicated on the instrument cluster?....

How do I change the rear turn signal bulb on a 2004 Sebring convertible?

Peel back the trunk lining to reveal three wing nuts. Remove wing nuts to pull lens cap away from car. To remove bulb socket push on the rectangular button (the release) while pushing on the end of the socket to unlock and spin counter clockwise to release. pull out old bulb and reinstall lens cap.

How do I change front blinker bulb on 2003 chev impala

First,
  1. Turn the engine off and open the hood. Pry up the two fasteners from the radiator air baffle with a flat head screwdriver. Move the baffle to the side to access the top of the headlight case.
  2. Step 2 Pull up the two metal rods behind the headlight case. These secure the case to the car. You may need your pliers to pull them up.
  3. Step 3 Gently pull the headlight case out to access its rear. On the rear, you will find several black dust covers. Twist off the dust cover closest to the fender (the outward dust cover) to access the turn signal bulb.
  4. Step 4 Turn the bulb module counterclockwise to release it. Unplug the electrical connector from the bulb module. Connect the new bulb to the electrical connector (don't touch the glass with your hands; hold it by the plastic piece). Insert the bulb module in the turn signal housing, turn it clockwise and screw the dust cover back on.
  5. Step 5 Insert the headlight case in the mount. Push the pins back down to secure it. Position the radiator baffle in its place and insert the fasteners.
  6. Rear Turn Signal Bulbs
  7. Step 1 Open the trunk. Remove the net from the side mounted wing nut (on the side with the faulty turn signal). Twist the wing nuts (there are two per side) counterclockwise to remove them.
  8. Step 2 Peel the carpet layer back to access the rear signal lamp wing nuts. Twist these wing nuts (two per side) counterclockwise to remove them and release the rear signal.
  9. Step 3 Carefully pull the rear signal assembly away from the Impala. The rear turn signal is the inner bulb (closest to the trunk). Press the tab on the bulb module and turn it counterclockwise to release it from the rear signal assembly.
  10. Step 4 Pull the old bulb straight off the module (don't twist). Insert the new bulb in the module. Depress the tab on the connection and insert the module back in the assembly. Twist it clockwise.
  11. Step 5 Insert the rear signal assembly. Re-attach the assembly's wing nuts and push the carpet layer back in place. Tighten the other two wing nuts to secure the carpet layer and reconnect the cargo net

Remove and replace rear turn signal light

open up trunk and pull back any inside cloth trim to expose wing nuts. twist off wings nuts and the rear lamp assembly will then pull out from body. on the back of the lamp assembly is the connector / bulb assembly. this just twists off to unlock and remove from the lamp. replace bulb, lock bulb / connector back into place and the re-install the lamp assembly.

Suburban windshield wiper fluid not working for both front and rear. There is washer fluid in the tank; the lines are not frozen; but no fluid comes out both front and rear.

the pump has packed up its under the inner wing on the washer bottle and its one pump that does both by reversing the motor ,its a job to get too without removing the plastic inner wing

I have been told to fix my microchips of my spolier therefore i have done this and it still does not work what elce could it be? I have also been told that it might not work because the front spolier does...

the active aero system works the front and the rear at the same time,it goes thru the switch at the center console-if the front does not work,the rear will not work also even if you replace the limiter switches on the rear wing,the rear wing has to be timed to the wing motor to work also-it is pretty hard if you dont know how to do it-good luck
