Nox Repair

The Lovely Harvey's Equinox has no paint left on the steering wheel radio controls.

That means there's a large mint green light shining in your face all the time at night.

The most cost effective way of doing this is to replace the entire steering wheel!

Used wheels with like new switches are about the same price as just a new switch.

When I pulled her car into the garage to begin the swap the check engine light came on.

I read the code and it was the dread VVT solenoid.

Happily this is an easy job.

Unhappily, AutoZone doesn't list the part under the same name as Chevy.

Chevy calls it a Cam Actuator Solenoid.

AutoZone doesn't reference that name at all, but if you remember that it's part of the variable valve timing system they can finally figure it out.

This didn't happen last time, the counter person then knew the terms were interchangeable and looked up the VVT.

All better now!
