I contacted Chevrolet and they said "

"I apologize, but was unable to locate which fuse to check for the overhead console. As this information is not in our resources, we would recommend speaking with a Chevrolet Dealership, as they are trained extensively in all our parts. Do you have a dealership that you typically work with? If not, I can certainly locate one for you.""

Really, Chevy doesn't even know?

It could be something as simple as a ground wire left disconnected or supply wire left disconnected. If you want to find the fuse or possibly a breaker, look at the wiring diagrams in the repair manual for identifying details. If you are lucky, the various connectors ID designators and wire colors can be found. You are not done once you find the terminal number. Next, you'll need to search the manual to find the location of that termination. You'll probably need an official repair manual. Low cost, third party manuals are often skimpy on these diagrams.

These days, the dealer may not have repair manuals. Several service shops in my area have terminals in the repair bay for accessing repair information on-line from a corporate server.

If your lighting outage happened immediately after the shop worked on it, very likely they have a good idea where the problem is (if it is a disconnection done while working on the system). The shop should be willing to correct the problem at no charge if it was an oversight on their part. However, if upon opening the system, it is found that the problem was not due to an oversight, expect to pay for the repair.

Take the vehicle back to the shop and discuss.

jemdandy has an excellent reply.

I might also suggest searching online for an Equinox owners forum where guys have experience with that particular vehicle and might be able to provide insight.

FWIW: I found the 2010 Equinox users manual online and the "lift gate" has a couple of fuses on its own. (Lift Gate Module, Lift Gate Module Logic)

Ok, my husband removed the front ceiling panel and there was a wire disconnected. He reconnected it and now the lift gate works! Also, the little interior lights work most of the time now, There was a button up there where you can stop them from working, and I think it was on the off position. The visor lights AND the between the seat console is not working still. We started to have problems with a blinker also too. We changed the bulb and it did not help. He looked online and found a broken fuse, a little light blue 15 in the "bcm" slot, the body control module I think he said. He is going to replace that and see what it fixes. It still aggravates me that Chevrolet could not tell me what fuse too look for.

hi, glad to hear you're figuring it out. i remember when things where simpler!

Ok, that little mini blue 15 bcm fuse fixed the blinkers! So now, the only things I can think of that are not working are the visor lights, the console between the seats (and that is sad because I think there is a charger in there too) and the interior front passenger ceiling "map lights" only work when the all interior light are on. You can't be in a dark car and turn them on, no mater the setting the button is on. You have to turn the interior lights on, then you can turn the map lights on. So, what should I do to find out why the visor/console is not working (or the fuse for it so we can check.)

sorry, electrical issues are not my forte. your problems might be a simple fix for a tech that knows problems like yours. check this forum, your problem might have been discussed.
