Have the OBD codes read , there may be no fault but the codes might just need clearing , like all computers they can get a bit confused

Testimonial: "I have already cleared everything. The light came on a few time this morning, but later stopped working. I think it might be a short in the harness some where."

What color and how many wires on the starter for a 2008 chevy aveo5

There are like three bolts holding the entire starter assembly in. The wires to it are large to carry a lot of amperage. There are basically two and they will have learned the position they are bolted on. remove them and then replace the old unit with the new and the wires will want to go back tot heir old positions. If you are uncomfortable doing this then don't. I did this once on a Ford 460 on a freeway on ramp. It is very quick and easy. Here is a link to picture of the starter:

HOW TO RESET CHECK/SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS CHEVROLET AVEO5 AFTER SERVICE?

If it's just for the "change oil" light, turn the key to the "on" position, not start and step on the gas pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. If it's the actual "service engine" light, take it to a service center so they can put a scanner on it and find out what's causing the service engine warning.

I can't start the engine. The battery is almost fully charged. I need to turn the key for about 3 or more times to start the engine.

If you turn key to START position, what is the sound, is it;
1. no sound at all means maybe starter problem.
2. only heard Tik sound means starter problem (you can add relay but it will still happen in future)
3. crank sound but not start means battery weak.

You can also try to move gearshift to N instead of at P position before turn key to START. if it work mean your car safety switch at gearbox not know which gear you're on.

I have a 2008 aveo. i took off the headlight but i can not get the plastic casing off to change the bulb.

If you are talking about the headlight casing, where the clear headlight casing connects to your back headlight casing, that isn't the way to change the light bulb, you're going to damage the seals that protect water, and humidity.
Here's a good site to visit http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_replace_headlight_bulbs_in_Chevy_Aveo

How to reset oil life on 2008 chevy tahoe.

Turn the ignition key to the 'on' position without starting the engine. Pump the accelerator to the floor 5 times (within 3 seconds of turning the ignition to the on position). Start the engine. It should be reset. If it doesn't work the first time, you might have to try again.

Just bought a used 2008 Aveo5. When it rains,

being 2008, is should still be under the warranty. Take it to the car wash and use one of the high pressure washing machine and see where is coming in from. more likely will be the tail light. if its hatchback have someone sit in the back with a flash light and while spraying the water have that person observing the leaks.
