[NYChevoo]

can your local dealership do anything to help you? is anything still under warranty?

[pacmanaveo]

well i dont belive that anything is under warranty but i know if i take it to the dealer it will cost me an arm and a leg so i was hoping to get some advice

trade in for a manual aveo

no seriouslytho thats ****ed up, ur radio n **** stay on? after u shut the car off?

[pacmanaveo]

ya if i put the fuse in the radio and the beeping sound like the door is open witht he keys goes off

[petrified.rabbit]

sounds like your ignition lock/neutral safety switch on the column:

i think my car leaves the radio on until the key is out and i open the door.
the neutral safety switch powers from the key in/on, and brake lights on to release the shifter. if it always thinks the key is in (chiming you mentioned) it would not turn the radio off when you open the door.

im not 100% sure though without a wiring diagram.

ya all i know is my **** is all ****ed up (excuse my language) and i still have no gauge lights

how is an '06 not still under warranty? Wouldn't they at least help you diagnose the problem?

[petrified.rabbit]

i would think it should still be under warranty too. anyhow. i would try that or call the insurance company that fixed it they should have lifetime satisfaction on the work they paid for for your car..
