I’m back.. sorry should have posted here after I finished the repairs .. but better late then never right …
- Blend Door
As expected the job took me a view hours so I just spread it over 2 days and the A/C works fine now ( even without an extra anti freeze top off/replacement/service which was listed at $300 in the estimate) I will still check the pressures etc. when the temperatures get hotter as I was told it doesn’t make sense to service the A/C system with ambient temps. under 60F her pics of the blend door replacement and functioning inside the housing through the crack ! Tip for every Camaro owner who wants to avoid this : “ Don’t turn the Temperature Knob all the way to Cool or all the way to Hot … the actuator turns the the blend door to far and is very strong, so after a couple of years in side the hot / cold housing it WILL break !
- Air Bag Service Light
What was listed as for $1200 Air Bag module replacement, turns out to be just a lose connection … Even though the Connector is double secured by a latch / switch, it was still lose inside the middle console so a quick click soled the $1200 problem …

… was are so far $18 into the $7000 repairs with the main problems fixed already.
I have not swapped the power steering fluid which might solve the scratchy noise that comes from “ possibly “ the rack and pinion. That will ad another $20 to the bill.
I’m not sure if I should replace the spark plugs which are as listed with $500 on the Estimate.
I’m also not sure if I should clean the injection system which I also didn’t ask for and doesn’t have anything to do with the problems that I mentioned when I turned the car in .
Will still replace the cabin filter which was listed with $150 on the estimate, which I actually got for $8 on Amazon.
So far I’m far under the $350 Mark which was my budget, even with the $220 Diagnostic fee that Chevy charged me.
I have one more repair which I will have to look take car off … Mybe somebody has a DIY solution :
I can not delete the Blue Tooth List on my radio and therefore not add another phone since it only holds 5 entries. I had the problem before and by disconnection the battery, I was able to do some kind of reset. But that doesn’t work anymore. Doe's anyone have an another idea ?
