One tail light with brake, but no reverse/blinker SolvedSolved

Chevrolet Malibu 2005 2.2 380000 miles
Passenger side tail light comes on with headlights and lights up for brakes like normal, but the reverse light and the blinker (blinker runs fast like it's out) does not come on. The bulbs are good, I'm not sure if this could be a fuse or wiring issue?
(Driver side taillight is fine)

The blinker socket has burned out and the reverse light bulb has gone out. I guess this is a lesson in checking the most obvious first.

Power steering SolvedSolved

Chevrolet Malibu 2006  70000 miles
For a month now a "power steering" announce can be sometimes read in my car's dashboard. Does anyone know whether it is a mechanical or an electrical problem? And if it is mechanical, is any kind of liquid or oil required? If so, where is the corresponding deposit located? Thank you in advance for your help.

Your steering column module is damaged, a typical error in the 2004, 2005 and 2006 vehicles.

Can someone help me out please. Bim a female who knows nothing about cars. This car is my life line at this moment. I have no one helping to get this done. The car has sat for about 4 or 5 months. When I tried to crank the other day nothing. Tried to jump it off for over an hour. Took the battery to car place said it was bad. I then bought a new battery and it's still doing the same thing. No noise but 1 click

First of all, check out the fuse #26 in the engine fuse box, maybe it`s blowed. https://www.startmycar.com/chevrolet/m…
If it`s ok, maybe the starter motor y blocked. Look for it in the engine compartment and gently hit it wuith a hammer or something solid. This video will help you... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY0JP7…

Had the same issue. Put the
Key in the ingnition. Turn key on, take car out of park then put it back in park make sure its locked in park. Turn the key off. Then see if it will start. Even though my car seemed to be in park, it wasn't actually locked into park as far as the transmission/engine.
Hope this helps.

Hi rpm in park. I've replaced the TPS, the IAC, the coolant sensor and I've checked all the wiring. It still hits around 2-3000 rpm in park and is burning through gas like there's no tomorrow. Next step is the mechanic but I'd like to fix it on my own if I can. What's the issue?
