On the 3.4 liter there are 2 sensors. One behind the crank pulley and one in the block the one in the block is on the firewall side in between the transmission and the block. There is a wiring harness for this that runs under the oil pan. Follow that to the crank sensor in the block.

I'd image up from the bottom of the Car.....not in from of one at the moment but I'd look from ther 1st

So what's the question?

is it a no crank or crank no start? Possible causes for code P0335 - Faulty crankshaft position sensor - Crankshaft position sensor harness is open or shorted - Crankshaft position sensor circuit poor electrical connection - Signal plate may be damage - Starter motor may be faulty - Starting system circuit - Dead or weak battery Read more: http://engine-codes.com/p0335.html#ixzz3Cxw6SN6O

If the lower ball joint is riveted to the lower control arm you will be way better off replacing the entire control arm. They are available at your local parts store and are not that much more. jack up the vehicle. remove the wheel, remove the nut from the ball joint. remove the stabilizer link from the lower control arm. strike the knuckle where the ball joint goes through with a large hammer until the ball joint separates from the knuckle. Remove the horizontal mounting bolt, remove the vertical mounting bolt, remove the lower control arm. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

Try holding the mirror firmly in the middle and pressing the cup back over the ball. It it falls of again then check that the cup section has not split.

Hi Al, I'm glad to help! Al, sense I'm not there to actually do diagnostics on your problem, I'll just tell you what I have found most of the time with your dyeing issue. Being in the automotive field for over 40 years I have mostly found a cold start dyeing issue to be the "IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR" because what it does is idles the engine up during cold starts and also when there is a load applied to the engine like when the A/C compressor turns on. This is where I would start. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Al.

Hi Shawna, I would check with a mechanic to see what the actual problem is. It sounds like it may be the compressor itself.

Breather problem.

Have you tried that stuff called "AC PRO"? It comes in a can with a pressure gauge and there are videos on youtube that show how to use it. Now if you've replaced a compressor or another part of the AC system, you'll need someone to use a vacuum pump on the system to remove all air and moisture, and then they can recharge it with fresh R-134 refrigerant to the proper specification, which whoudl be listed under the hood on a sticker. This sticker also shows vehicle engine and emission information.

To reset the tire pressure system, do the following: (NOTE!....Do not reset the check tire pressure system without first correcting the cause of the problem and checking and adjusting the pressure in all four tires. If you reset the system when the tire pressures are incorrect, the check tire pressure system will not work properly and may not alert you when a tire is low or high.) 1. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON. 2. Press the MODE button until the DIC reads LOW TIRE PRESSURE HOLD SET TO RESET. 3. Press and hold the SET button until you hear a chime, and TIRE PRESSURE RESET is displayed. You will hear three chimes, then the LOW TIRE PRESSURE message will go off and the DIC will return to TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL. If the LOW TIRE PRESSURE message comes back on, the check tire pressure system has not reset. Repeat the procedure. The system completes the calibration process during driving. The system learns the pressure at each tire throughout the operating speed range of your vehicle. The system normally takes between 30 and 60 minutes of driving to learn the tire pressures. The system normally takes 10 to 20 minutes of driving in each speed range to learn tire pressures. The speed ranges are 20 to 40 mph (32 to 64 km/h), 40 to 60 mph (64 to 96 km/h), and above 60 mph (96 km/h). This time may be longer depending on your individual driving habits. The learning process does not need to be completed during a single trip. Once learned, the system will remember the tire pressure until the system is reset.

The cooling system capacity for a 2005 Buick Redndezvous is 9.6 quarts or 9.1 Liters. If you have the owner's manual this info is listed under "Capacities".

Coil pack provides spark to plugs. I would check and or replace that. To test it you will need a Haynes manual for your car and a digital multimeter. It is not hard to do. Hope this is helpful.
