Are we speaking of brakes or coolant system? If its brakes the bleeder valve is located on the the caliper usually has a rubber cover over it. On most it's either a 8 or 10 millimeter socket to brake it loose. And if your speaking of the bleeder valve for the coolant system it's located on top of the thermostat housing. Hope this helps you out.

Could be just a glitch. The BCM controls the beep through the radio. Thats why you hear for the speaker/drivers side. There are three possibilities for the beep. Door ajar with the key in the ignition, turn signal on too long, and seat belt unbuckled with the car running. Check for lights in the dash. no door ajar light, no seatbelt light. That could be the problem.

suction is too great to over come by pulling. twist the boot of the plug wire left and right, then try and lift the lip of the boot away form the plug to allow air under the boot, then pull

CHANGE THERMOSTAT AND BLEED COOLANT SYSTEM.

Buy a manual. There is a lot of info that some one could miss that is important to reassemble it. Go to alldatadiy.com this will give all the info you need to do the job. Cheaper than a manual.

Well, a faulty water pump could cause the engine to overheat fairly quickly, but additional pressure in the cooling system is usually caused by a leaking head gasket.

probably not . I would have a compression test done to check for head gasket or cracked head. Check coolant level in the radiator at the cap and ensure that there is no air lock in the cooling system as what you refer to is in fact boiling off from the cylinders not being completely surrounded by water or the compression gasses are escaping from the chamber

Always disable the air bag system first, to prevent accidental deployment of the air bags. The main airbag module is beneath carpeting under passengers seat. To remove passengers seat, At the rear of the seat remove the two bolts securing the tracks to the floor, tilt the seat up and towards the instrument panel, unplug any electrical connectors beneath and remove the seat. the front plastic track covers can remain in place while the seat track tabs are lifted out of the slots on the floor. ( caution disable airbag before removing the seat ) Good-Day! Hope this helps you!

POSIBLE BAR MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR

No key or key fob, switch not working? You can remove the back seats. The bottom just pulls up/ snapped in. Then there are bolts/nuts to remove for the back part. once the bolts are removed the pull up on it to get it out. It's hooked in on the top.

You must have left a "ground" wire off or loose. Also, if there's a multi-connect where the pump plugs, disconnect it and spray it internally with CNC electronics cleaner. They get corroded and lose conection....

Best you can do is... try another matching key or jiggle the key until it turns. Be sure that the steering wheel isn't jammed against the steering wheel lock - if it is, it'll make the key hard to turn & it'll be tough to tell that it CAN be turned. If necessary, jack up the front of the car for a moment, just to release side stress on the tires.

There is no easy way to change the fuse block, all of the terminals are fed from the bottom. The last time i changed one i took a sheet of paper, flipped the box over and wrote down the color wire and terminal it went to, if you attempt this i would draw a picture of a grid and note the wires in each block. Also a special terminal removal tool may be needed to remove terminals with out damage. Good luck- Justin (GM certified mechanic)

First thing is first, check that all of your fuses are good. There should be a fuse block under the hood, if you get power while crabking the motor over your fuel pump relay may be bad. The relay should also be located in the fuse block. If you have a good relay and power on both sides your oil pressure sensor may also be bad, but you will need a volt/ohm meter to actually diagnose the problem. Good luck, fuses and relay are simple/ cheap/ and easy

There is no specific order to tighten them down, turn the nuts to the stops and troque them to the specified nimber in the repaire manual. If you do not have a repair manual you can pick one up at your local autopart store for under $20

that is the low tire pressure sensor. one or all your tires are low

more than likely the switch was not properly adjusted after you put it on or its a bad switch from the factory... have you tried checking fuse #6 in the trunk? is there any other lights acting abnormal? is it only the brake lights? (parking and running lights come on fine?) If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jonathan_4cd718ed254374ee
