Q: 2005 Chevy Tahoe CD Player?
Does anyone know how to reprogram the CD player in a 2005 Chevy Tahoe? I hit the "Source" button on my steering wheel to go to radio and the entire stereo system went off and came back on. The only problem is that I had to reset the clock and now, the system doesn't recognize that I have a CD player. A CD is stuck in it. Any ideas? The answer from Scott A worked!!!! I'm so grateful because I live 40 miles from the nearest good Chevy dealership and work 46 miles from home in the other direction. It's NEVER going to be easy for me to take this Tahoe in for service. Y'all listen to Scott because he knows what he's talking about!!! Thanks so much!!!!

A: With the ignition off try to remove the radio fuse for a minimum of 30 seconds. Reinstall the fuse and then turn the ignition on. Then if there is a CD in the player try to eject it or if there was no CD try to load one. If none of this works unfortunately it will have to be sent in from a dealership for repair. But this is one thing you can try.

Q: Chevy Tahoe 2005- keep blowing IGN-E/relays then loose/do i need a new fusebox? dead short??
It was towed to a mechanic who said there was a dead short, and that it was affecting the BCM.W/ it having a security system I was advised to take it to the install place (audio and security). There they said it was a bad BCM - got that replaced.next morning would not start, same no turning over. Back to the place they said that they checked everything could not find anything wrong, checked fuses, replaced battery (for free) and it was running. After that it keeps happening and I have had it looked at by several people (dealership, electrical auto person, mechanics) to no avail. I keep blowing the IGN-E fuse in this 2005 Chevy Tahoe. It is a 10 Amp fuse while driving it will happen-the tachometer will become erratic, the turn signals go out (but hazards work) the air condenser wont blow cold-I then replace the fuse, sometimes need to reposition two relays (the parking lamp, the starter relay) due to them not being tight, then will start. chevy says new fuse box $600+, ???!!! On three separate occasions they have removed all of the aftermarket items and it was still blowing the fuse. Is there a way to repair the contacts in order for them to make solid connections on the inside of the fuse box?

A: The IGN b fuse feeds everything you mentioned that's going wacky with your truck. (turn signal, a/c relay, starer relay, instrument panel cluster). I would definitely start by REMOVING the after market (AUTO-START) It is causing the security light to come on , and POSSIBLY causing the short, depending on which starter relay wire they tapped into. once it goes into security mode the vehicle will not start. Even if the AUTO-START/ALARM is not causing the short, IT IS causing the security codes. ( P1626, B2960,B2961) Do that first and reevaluate I would NOT replace the fuse box.... If the fuse continues to blow, then the circuit must be separated, and individually fused.(very involved).

Q: changing headlights in 2005 chevy tahoe?
anyone have any pointers?

A: The headlight assembly is held in place with two L shaped pins on top of the assembly. Snap each pin out of its lock, turn 90 degrees, and pull straight up. The headlight assembly will then pull straight out far enough to remove the bulb from the rear. Just don't touch the glass on the new bulb, cuz it will leave oil from your fingers and burn out prematurely. (This also allows for EZ access to the daytime running lamp bulbs.)
