SOURCE: i have a 2002 chevy cavelier, i used the button on

Try pushing the button under the dash back into its normal 'unactivated' position, and see if the trunk will latch shut. It could be a sticky latch mechanism in the trunk, which some silicone lubricant or WD40 might help to free up. Check also that the latch has not actually returned to the 'locked' position prior to trying to close the trunk. That would definitely stop you from closing the trunk properly! Try unlocking the trunk latching mechanism again.

SOURCE: 2002 Chevy Avalanche. Truck will not

Do a bench test on the starter. Remove starter, hook up a ground cable to starter, and positive to two prongs on starter and it should spin. You can do this in vechile too but not suggested due to risk of injury. If it doesn't spin, probally a solenoid or the starter it self. Unlikely but possible.

I had the same problem. I had to check the fuses in the engine compartment, I then had to replace two 15 amp fuses, after I replaced the fuses the problem was gone.

Red light on radio keeps flashing and battery drains overnight on 2002 sonoma gls

That red light is on many vehicles and does not drain a battery that fast. You probably have another draw on the system. I recently had a car that the battery would go down in a few days, found out it was coming from the Onstar system malfunctioning.

How do I find out which fuse is for my dash board lights when I dont have my manual?

The door ajar light doens't have a separate fuse. But you can probably fix the problem in 15 minutes:
  1. Make sure all doors and trunk close tightly. Lean hard against each door, starting with the driver's, because it is the most likely since it gets the most use. Watch the light. If it goes out, you're halfway there - you've located the problem door.
  2. Squirt some WD-40 into each door's switch. They may be located near the hinge, or near the latch. Press the button repeatedly and then wipe it off. That may fix the problem.
  3. Next, it could be the alignment of the door and strike plate on the jamb. Adjust the latter until the light goes out.
If that doesn't do it:
  1. Dont worry about the battery going dead from the indicator light staying on - it draws too little current. But if a dome light (or trunk light) stays on, it will drain the battery in a number of hours.
  2. You didn't say whether the dome light stayed on. If so, or if you have any other information, please post it and I'll try to help you determine the next steps.

The battery in my 2001 A6 2.7T won't hold a charge for more than a few days. The battery is approximately 5 years old. The voltage meter shows a charge of 15 or higher when the car hasn't been run in a few...

It looks like your charging system is operating properly so there are two possibilities. The first is that there is a large drain on your battery while the engine is shut off. Possibly a light left on somewhere like the trunk light or the glovebox light staying on when it should be off. There are other drains that may be occuring which will need a test meter and time to discover. The other likely cause will be a dead cell in your five year old battery. Have the battery tested and you will find that one or more cells are bad, causing the battery to drain. A five year old battery has about used up it's time in your car. good luck!

My truck light on the dash used to go on & off

There was a wire attached to the trunk lid on the drivers side that was attached by a clamp. It looks like this sm. clamp was rubbing on the wire eveytime the trunk was opened & closed. I found someone that can splice in a new piece where it is broken.
