Chevy Aveo 2009 SOOO MANY ELECTRIC ISSUES!! HELP!

[Zizzo]

Hello,,
I have a 2009 Chevy Aveo with a lot of electrical issues,
First thing is my car doors will lock me inside. It will lock me in when I'm about to exit the car and take the keys out of the ignition. The only way I can get out is if I press the unlock key on my keyfob and hold the lock up so it doesn't automatically lock again.


Every time I press the unlock key, the locks open and lock 3 times and ends in the locked position. I have to use my key every time and press the unlock button on my keyfob and turn the key just to get into my car.
Another issue is when I shut off the car, the doors would normally unlock. Now, the engine just shuts off. Nothing else happens.


Another thing that is happening is my raido will randomly not work. Sometimes when I start my car, there is no power what so ever to my raido.


Another issue is my cruise control randomly will stop working and my traction light//low tire pressure light will come on.


Another issue was with my hold light flashing, thermostat not working, and A/C wasn't working all at once. I searched around and found out that it could be my thermostat that needed replaced. Well after finding that, I was going to go to Autozone to possibly order the part, And after I got in my car to start it,, The hold light was off, and A/C and thermostat was working again.


All of these issues are not at the same time either,,
The doors locking me in and not unlocking properly is a constant thing, but as far as everything else, it seems to switch every other day or so.


Yesterday my thermostat and A/C was not working, but cruise control was working and traction/low tire pressure light was off.


Today my A/C and thermostat are working and my cruise control is not working and the traction/tire pressure light is on.



I'm lost here. Please help.

since these are all items within the dash, I would check your power distribution block for burns, and then check the grounds for corrosion. This mostly sounds like a loose ground issue, but the aveo has seen problems on both sides of the wiring system.

Similar Problems on my 2007.

Headlights work sometimes. I use running lights when they konk out.

A/C blower fan quit in May, randomly started working again in August.

Radio lights are out about 75% of the time.

Parking brake light comes on even when brake is not engaged...sometimes.

Air bag light is usually on, but sometimes decides not to be.

Check engine light will be on for a week, then off for a week.

Problems seem to be getting worse by the week.

Actually what you listed is quite a bit different than the OP. Also your Aveo is a first gen, and the OP has a second gen. What you described could be the well-known splicer issue.
