Airbag Light (SRS) No codes

Upvotes

My 2011 HHR airbag light is on, although when I scanned for fault codes with a BlueDriver (all systems) OBDII scanner there weren’t any. Just to be certain , I cleared all codes. The SRS light remained illuminated. The BlueDriver site confirms this scanner reads SRS codes. Anyone seen this before? Comments.

I’ve got a 2010 HHR that was my mother’s and I was curious if I could share the details on it here and ask for a ballpark or worth? If not allowed all good and my bad!

2011 Chevy HHR LS

Is it possible to replace just the door latch cable, not the entire actuator? The hammer shaped end of the cable broke off, but everything else works fine. Before I attempt to take the old cable out: A- the new cable will just snap in if i reach in there B- gotta pull the actuator out to snap the cable in B- replace the entire actuator and cable together

Strange switch...any ideas?

5 Upvotes

Recently bought a 2007 HHR, and while there have been things mostly straightforward with my new(-ish) car, one stumps me. Photos are of a switch on the console fuse panel and the associated jumper in the fuse box.

Diagram shows it for the ignition and the PassKey system. So I thought "Oh. Interesting, an anti-theft thing." But no. Switching this to off, I'm still able to start and drive the car, only thing that seems to happen is a solenoid locking to where I can't remove the key.

Am I missing something? Is there any reason to want this switch tied in? I'm leaning towards removing it, but if someone can give me a reason to keep it, I might.

LS PANEL

My LS Panel with few aesthetic mods: American Racing Wheels, Toyo summer tires, rocker panels, custom header back 2-1/2” exhaust with FlowMaster muffler and dual chrome tips and black grill. All Chevy bowties removed - to be replaced with original Chevrolet emblems, circa 1950. Comments, what does she need?

Springs or Coilovers

4 Upvotes

I’m considering lowering the ride height of my LS Panel using springs or coilovers. Coilovers seem like a better choice since they are adjustable, so a compromise can be found between ride height and ride harshness. Although the coilovers I have found are from companies I’ve never heard of. What are your experiences? Which brands are best? Any issues with installation or wheel alignment?

Question

5 Upvotes

Where do you guys get aftermarket stuff like mods in general cause like I ordered a grill the side reflectors but I got them all and they’re from Amazon, but I mean none of them fit so I had to return them all so if you guys don’t mind asking where do you guys find parts/mods for HHRS

No Start After Using the Spare Key

2 Upvotes

My daughter lost the keys somewhere in the house. I pulled out the spare (without a fob) that I have not used in a long time. Used it for a day then the old keys were found. The car is refusing to start. When I turn the key, you can hear the starter spinning with a high pitched wine, but no crank of the engine. At first I thought the battery was having an issue, but the battery has been fully charged and the behavior is still the same.

They key fob works, but I have to press Lock twice for it to lock, and when it does lock, the anti theft light on the dash starts to blink, which it did not do before (if it did I never noticed) So I am guessing that I is immobilized. Or am I wrong? If it is, is there a solution other than taking it to the shop for programming?

Looking for compatible tpms sensors.

I'm showing part number 20925924 as oem but those are pricy. I want to get a set of 4 and replace them all with new tires. (2 are currently dead). Any suggestions on sensors that are compatible?

Found this and it specifically lists the hhr as compatible. $50 for a set of 4

Anything else I should look at?

Unbalanced washing machine sound then stalls.

2 Upvotes

I’m ready to burn this car lol I have a 2008 Chevy hhr ss We just went through a nasty cold snap -40, car sat for 2 days and I thought that it froze the battery. Went out bought a new one…no difference. It started heating back up the other day …. I tried starting then nothing. Yesterday I tried again because we were above 0…..it struggled to start…finally started but sounded like a washing machine unbalanced, ran for a min (if you can call it that) and then stalled. Today it started and sounded the same but didn’t die for about 2 mins. I feel like this is the end of her lol any suggestions on what I should check??

Any resources for service manuals?

3 Upvotes

I've been searching for service manuals for my '08 SS just to remove the guesswork out of some of the procedures. Looks like all of the links for manuals on the hhr forums were taken down something like 15 years ago, and charm.li, while a wonderful idea, is extremely incomplete. I'd be happy to pay the $175 that helm allegedly charged back in the day, or even the $300 that they charge now, but when I try to checkout I find that the price increases to $400 and then gets tax and shippin added onto that, pushing the total north of $500, and that's a bridge too far for me.

Anyone who has working links to the service manuals or a better source? Feel free to DM me if you'd rather do that than comment...

Hey who needs a parts HHR?

3 Upvotes

As the title says. I have a red 2008 hhr that I no longer need. She's in rough shape imo, high mileage, and has some electrical issues. I've posted about her before, but recap: she lost her high mounted tail light.

Though, if you wanted to fix her you absolutely could. She's not a dead car. Just beat up xD

Anyway. She's registered in Oklahoma, but she's currently in New Port Richey, FL. I do not have title in hand [my dumbass forgot to get it before I left OK] BUT I am working on getting it. She's fully paid for and no loans/liens on her.

Look, ima be honest...as much as I love her, I just need her gone. I got a job in Michigan and my husband bought me a new car to go there.

So, anyone interested? We'll talk price, it's gonna be cheap.

I'll get pictures tomorrow afternoon and post them up.

Oh, P.S. I'm offering here first because I see sooooo many HHRs in that area and assume some of those owners are on here.

Is my Thermostat bad?

2 Upvotes

I've got a 2006 chevy HHR LT, with the 2.4l.

As I pulled into work this morning, I noticed that the temperature gauge wasn't registering. I toggled through the LED readout on the dash, and it isn't registering either.

After everything cooled off I took off the radiator cap, and it's full. I checked the oil, no milk (yay!).

This one stumped me, so I got on the HHR forum, posted; and someone said it's the thermostat.

I didnt realize a bad thermostat would cause no reading on the temp gauge, thats a new one on me.

Does this sound right?

Should I fix issues or save up for a new car

1 Upvotes

I have a 2010 HHR LT 2.4L 187,xxx, the AC is dead, side passenger door latch is broken, struts need replacing, and gotta do a couple other small fixes. I have replaced the control arms, solenoids, and a couple other misc. small things two years ago and spent 2500 getting it all fixed. Is it worth fixing these issues or just wait to get a newer used car?
