Radio and dash glitching and indicator muting

Chevrolet Cruze 2011 Turbo 6spd manual 90000 miles
When using the brake or indicator the radio will start glitching aswell as the lights and dash. It’s so annoying I’ve read it could be the negative cable but has anyone else experienced this and fixed it ??

I am having the same issue but also random lights on the dash flashing on and off and some power loss/pull back on the engine. My mechanics having some issues pin pointing the cause. Had a scan done last year and picked up a misfire in one of the cylinders so spark plugs were changed and seemed fine but has started again and the latest scan detected 3 seperate issues. Im suspect its a computer fault or something. Curious to know of any others that may have found a resolution. My mechanic thinks its the gauge cluster but before i allow the repair i want to make sure as its costly. If its just a negative cable that is more an easy and cheaper repair. I have read online of others having issues with the negative battery cable.
Have noticed it does trigger alot when using the indicator or breaking and the radio(have had it turned off for 2 days and hasnt had any issues).

Hey ! Yes it’s the negative battery cable as it’s just a glitch mechanics can’t pick up any problems and it never happens when you try to show them! Anyways got my cable replaced and hasn’t happened since :) good luck! X

I will be replacing my negative cable & battery tomorrow. Battery is in last quarter of life anyway. I'm having this exact issue when I brake & do anything else such as tuen signal, window, radio... will report back if this in fact fixes it.

Check your coolant for oil. Issue with mine was oil in the coolant. Had it repaired and the electronic issues stopped but happened again about 6 months later. Ended up trading it in. My mechanic and also the car yard I traded it to both mentioned it is a very common issue with the cruze.

My ac and heater do not turn on & their interior lights out as well

Chevrolet Cruze 2017 Premier hatchback  80275 miles
Heater and the AC will not turn on at all(none of the buttons in regards to the air flow in that area work). & the interior lights of the AC and heater for example the right side knob that controls the strength of the air flow is off everything on the right side that has to do with regulating the temperature inside don't work.

Overheating and thermostat

Chevrolet Cruze 2010  90000 miles
It's been three years since I bought my car and it has 90000 km and its problem is that it is overheating and the antifreeze evaporates. I've been checking it and noticed that there is liquid near the thermostat, so it seems to be the thermostat that is failing. What do you think?

Hi, by what you say, it seems evident that the thermostat is damaged and thus is no longer useful. You should change it, as well as plumbing the radiator so that the water can flow easily and thus not have overheating problems. I hope my comment helps you.

It still blows very cold as long as the outside temperature below 78°. Blows warm air above that.

Air conditioning not working

Chevrolet Cruze 2012  45000 miles
When it is raining or when washing the car, the computer suddenly indicates that the outside temperature is of -40 degrees and thus the air conditioning won't cool; it only expels hot air. I believe it is a sensor's failure but have no idea where it is located.

This units have a temperature sensor located in the front end cover, which usually acumulate water in its interior when being cleaned and they then get dry. There is a message in the car indicating that it should not be washed under pressure as not only hidden sensors but also bigger pieces can get damaged, so be careful.
andi from United States 9 years ago
You should never wash your car with pressurized water as they are too delicated and have many sensors and electrical complex gadgets.

O seu problema está no Break Light, que fica no teto que está rachado. Por lá está entrando água. Troque ele ou isole onde se parafusa.

Lock Module does not work on both key fob and inside the vehicle panel

Chevrolet Cruze 2010 sedan, manual, 113CP 105633 miles
Hello,

My Lock Module does not work on both the key fob and inside the vehicle panel. When I press from outside on the unlock button on my key fob I can see the lights on, but the system does not unlock the car. I know that the anti-theft lock module is located behind the inside mirror. I don't know exactly what the root cause is: lock module or anything else? how can I test the lock module to know if it is working properly or not?

Many thanks,
Adrian

Over heating sensor problem?

Chevrolet Cruze 2014  330001 miles
Driving down the road and all of a sudden on my display reads, air condition turned off due to high engine temp. My heat gauge reads almost hot. The display then reads normal, speedo on. The temp gauge goes back to normal. Like all of this in 30 seconds. This happened 3 times in a maybe 10 mile ride. What could it be. I know my car was not overheating. A sensor?
