Ineed to replace a blower moter resister. only
The blower resistor pack needs to be replaced, it's common for the
blower speed resistors to burn up and will need to be replaced. It's
easier to replace with the glove box out of the way. gmparts direct has
the harness and resistor as a package deal. Their part number is
PK15218254.
GM Parts list:
Resistor - p/n 15218254 $8.59*
Connector - p/n 15306069 $30.70*
Wiring harness - p/n 89019124 $20 *
You don't need to remove the glove box, just lay on the floorboard and
look up under the dash. There's a 4-wire harness plugged into the
resistor assembly (white plastic), in the bottom of the black heater blower
shroud. Unplug the harness, remove two small screws, and pull down to
remove the resistor assembly.
Good luck and merry xmass.

Intermittant light/turn signal problem
Look for a loose ground wire to the lights themselves. Also the bulb can be bad but you can't see it. The light will seek a ground if it doesn't have a good one. It will "feedback" through the wiring and make the lights act really weird.
2006 Canyon 4cyl has extremely low idle.
Could be:
- A vacuum leak
- An air restriction in the intake air path or exhuast
- A faulty positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve
- Damaged/failed/dirty throttle body
- Internal engine problem
- Failed PCM (powertrain control module)
I say back to the shop if its a real problem, if at all to just clear the code to see if it comes back. That code is just an informational code. Just says what the car is doing :\ . My first guess would be a vacuum leak somewhere followed by a throttle body issue.

Nice, but doesn't work for my 2006 Silverado. My manual says:
1. Turn ignition key to RUN with engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal 3 times within 5 seconds.
If the OIL LIFE RESET message flashes for 10 seconds, the system is resetting.
3. Turn the key to LOCK.
