Check the freezing point of the coolant you are removing just to make sure the coolant is antifreeze.Usually you would refill with full strength coolant if just draining and refilling the rad.
Make a trip to Harbor Freight. They sell plastic, car body trim pry tools. Cheap! These will give the the leverage you require to remove the door. As you have limited range of motion from inside the car, you may attempt to grab the door panel at the bottom, and pry the top in ad up and down motion, to free the plastic door retainer clips. Be careful. Old, sun stressed plastic can split. Better to make a quick trip to the salvage yard, with your new pry tools in hand, to gain experience removing the trim. Once done, you'll know exactly the locations of your trim retainers. (This will tell you exactly the sweet spots in which to apply your leverage) Good Luck.
Good guess. It's not hard to access the switch on your car. Follow the steps at the link below. Remove the switch and inspect for heat damage. If there is no obvious damage, test the switch with an ohmmeter. Jiggle the switch while testing.

This is usually associated with a leak in the heater core. Only proper solution is to replace the heater core. Suggest getting a service manual from local automotive parts store if you want to do it yourself. Usually lots of hidden screws that the book will give you the correct procedure to follow. Or pay someone else to do the repair. Repair manuals usually run less than $40.
battery will need to be replaced and codes cleared from ecu, tcs light more then likely coincidence due to another possible failure, or due to battery problem cause the ecu to code, and needs to be reset.
hi
once you unlock the car with the remote of key
leave the door open
look under the dash until you find the alarm box remove the fuse(s) that plug into it
this will disable the power to it
remove the blue one that the red wire gos into as this is the power one.
cheers
Not an easy task. You'll have to remove the back seat to remove the door panel. Once you have the panel off, reach in and unlock the child lock. Open the door. It gives you more room to work. Find the clip that is broken. Some of it could be in the bottom of the door. Rods are the same in diameter, but the length matters. Auto arts store are starting to carry some of them. Being a 99, junk yard is your best bet.
Use a ohm meter set to 12v DC touch batter red on red and black on black or black grounded anywhere it should read 13 to 16 v with cat running auto zone or any local parts store can check it free on the car
Do you still have the old Climate Control Head? Check the circuits with a volt/Ohms meter and compare to other one. Also check voltages at blower motor.
Did you replace the resistor with a new one? Even new ones can be bad. replace it again. Then replace the controller. Controllers are the least thing that goes bad. Resistor,blower, then controller.
Is this a heater problem or an engine overheating problem?? If it is an engine overheating problem do you have white smoke out the exhaust which would indicate a head gasket leak into the combustion chamber. You could also have compression gases leaking intro the cooling system. Is the thermostat the correct one and if so is it installed correctly with the sensor/wax pellet part towards the engine and it there is a pilot/bleed hole is it facing up. You could also have an ignition timing problem or have a lean running engine and/or a plugged exhaust system
remove the blue one that the red wire gos into as this is the power one.
