A 2022 needs the engine running to get the power steering to work. But I'm confused by your question. The car is being towed so why are you asking abut manually moving the steering wheel?

Give the number of different transmissions GM has used in the Equinox since it was introduced in 2004 it would help others if people would mention their model year and transmission when discussing their experiences. We have a 2020 with the 9-speed and we tow it behind a motorhome. The total...

When I looked at a 2018 the wireless charger tray would barely fit my wife's iPhone 6, the small one. My 2020 tray fits my Samsung Galaxy S22+ when in its Otterbox Defender case.

No, all of the computer stuff will not be wiped clean. Think about it, Chevy does not require reprogramming of the car when the battery is installed originally or replaced. First, Chevy took the safest way out and said to disconnect the negative cable. Since Chevy does not provide dinghy towing...

I read an article that said there was a rear end gearing change between 2018 and 2019 that made the difference. I have not verified that myself, though.

Just today I had to park in a parking garage. You know, narrow spots and other drivers who do not understand what those white lines on the pavement are for. That was a five-point turn to get parked.

Yeah, OK. :rolleyes: You didn't get the standard equipment because you selected optional equipment. "Standard" does not mean "mandatory", just like when you pick an optional engine you no longer get the standard engine. I just tried building a 2024 Equinox Premier FWD and kept every option the...

It may be a battery charge sensor. Regardless, a battery is only disconnected when it has no wires at all on the post. Take it off.

My 2020 Equinox Premier 2.0L is horrible and this really is the only thing I dislike about the car. My 2016 Hyundai Sonata could make the 90-degree turn into our garage with ease. This thing is always a 3-point turn otherwise I'd run into the side of my wife's car. Trying to turn into parking...

I think most people were just happy to get a working procedure. Your issue is why many people are putting the disconnect on the positive terminal as well as relocating the charge line to the battery. That will allow them to still use battery power for the supplemental braking system and...

That could be a better situation. Our 2020 Premier has a button on the driver door down low that I can push to open or close the power liftgate. If the 2024 retained that feature the concerns about furthering a back injury may go away. The OP's situation is compounded because they are in Hawaii...

Sorry, but it sounds like you did not get the standard equipment because you no longer have a standard vehicle due to the options you ordered. There is no bait and switch and if you try that argument you'll get laughed out of court. You would need to prove you paid for the handsfree liftgate but...

Ahh, thanks. Several people on iRV2 have reported that disconnecting the battery works well. Some are leery about disconnecting the positive terminal, which makes it fairly easy to power a supplemental braking system, versus disconnecting the negative cable as the GM directions say. We all have...

Sorry, I'm not following. Give who the benefit of what doubt?

For a 2023 or 2024, probably both, The battery itself needs disconnected but you'll likely need to rewire to supplemental braking system so it can still use battery power for the breakaway functionality. And for the supplemental braking itself.
