I have the same problem with my 2008 Equinox. As well as the moisture in the headlamps. I reached out to the manufacturer about the moisture issue and they would not help me, even though I have seen many with this same problem. Does anyone else have this problem?

I too am having the same problems. I have a 2008 Chevy Equinox and have had condensation in my headlights for 2 years. After reading this forum it looks like I'll have to replace them. I also have the issue with the doors not locking/unlocking. This is very concerning because I have a child and only the front driver side door can be unlocked with the key. I'm disappointed that Chevy has not issued recalls for these common issues. The dook lock issue is totally a safety issues and should be addressed by a recall.

I am also having problems with my doors in my 2008 Equinox. It seems to be worse in the summer. I've found that either with the FOB or the door control the doors do not lock, but they do unlock. Most of the time the lock toggle switches will only move half-way, and do not lock. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I too am having the same issues with the door actuators in my 08 Chevy Equinox. All four of them don't work when the weather warms up. The actuators are engaging but don't seem to be able to lock or unlock the door. Is the metal swelling in the heat? I know others have the same issu . Any resolution. Oh also having the issue of water in the headlights and had the issue of paint completely peeling the rear two panels above the passenger door. I've seen other posts of Equinox owners having the same issues. Did GM help anyone. I know I had to pay to have my car repainted. That was at 60000 miles.

To everyone having issues with door locks or keyless entry remote working intermittently, have the BCM grounds checked and cleaned if necessary.

There is an old TSB that addresses these issues which I have posted below. It says to check the ground connections going to the BCM. The TSB only covers 2007-2008 Equinox/Torrent (among other GM models), but is actually applicable to 2009 Equinox/Torrent because the BCM wiring is very similar to 2007-2008 models.

On the 2007-2009 Equinox/Torrent the BCM grounds are the black/white (black with white stripe) wires going to terminals 1 and 5 of the X3 connector at the BCM. The BCM is located just ahead of the console below the radio. You will see it when you remove the radio/console bezel. The flat plastic box is the BCM with about 5 or 6 plugs going to it. The X3 plug will be one of them. I'm not sure where the other end of the ground is. The wiring diagram says it is G201. Perhaps a GM tech on here could point out where that ground is located.

It certainly wouldn't hurt to check any other ground connections you can find; especially those near the battery.
