The wires behind dash go bad on several different cars that have security systems. In return you can try one trick and if it doesn't work, it will require a mechanic to take dash apart and unfortunately it's not cheap.
The trick I've done is to reset the system by unplugging your battery and leaving it off for about 20 minutes... Then reattach neg and pos back to battery and see if this solved it... Hope all works out...

You need to have it checked by a pro quickly. It's eother a head gasket or a warped/cracked head as that's usually what this is a sure sign of. But it could be as simple s an intake gasket. Is there any "milky" looking stuff in your radiator or engine(pull the dipstick and see what it looks like & to see if it's excessively full). Did your water pump or serpentine belt fail- see if the belt is broken? A conpression tester from AutoZone or a similar parts store will tell you if it's a head gasket or not. They'll rent you this compression tester for free- you remove spark plugs one at a tone and then screw the tester into the spark plug's threaded hole. After disconnecting any/all ignition power sources you can turn the engine over to get a compression reading in PSI(pounds per square inch). Record the compression readings for each cylinder individually on a piece of paper or whatever you prefer, if one is way lower than the rest or there are any large variances in compression readings from each cylinder you've got a head gasket issue at best, maybe a cracked or warped cylinder head. If you start it and drive it any just don't let it run long enough to overheat! So like 1-2 minutes at most! It proabably overheated and blew a hose or something like that which is why all of your coolant is gone. Start with that and and let us know what's going on! It may be a simple fix so don't let this scare you because I mentioned Heads and head gaskets, etc. it could be simple, it's hot to be properly diagnosed to find out, many shops do this for free or at a minimal expense like charging you for an hour of labor. Get a friend or family member, etc. to help out if you know anyone who is a real technician, if not let someone take a look at it. Research by asking those close to you and looking at bbb profiles, online reviews, etc. to find a qualified shop that is honest and treats people right!

Check your fuse in the fuse box in the cab

I have A 1977 monte I don’t know any wiring for a radio can someone help

All solenoids in your 4T65E transmission are located on the valve body, which is located within the transmission side cover. The amount of work necessary to get to the solenoids is about 20 minutes less than removing the transmission. It is simple for those who do it on a regular basis, not a driveway repair.

Should be 7 quarts.

Plugged catalytic converter.

Just check your fuses, i never heard of a pump reset switch on a 97 monte carlo,I know ford vehicles carry them (inertia switch). U have to check fuses & fuel pump relay or just a bad fuel pump is common on chevy vehicles.

Usually they don’t provide a capacity for ps fluid. If rebuilding system. Fill the res to the Max line and only go for a quick start then shut off immediately. Do this several times until all the air is out of the system.

Replace the spark plug wires. Or a coil packs if it is intermittent. If it only lurches during hard motion. If so... also check the motor mounts. Do that by holding the brake pedal and applying the gas, in both forward and reverse, while a second person watches motor movements.

Have you tried disconnecting battery terminal wires for 3-5 minutes then reconnecting ?

The steering pump is located just below the alternator on the passenger side of the car near the firewall. The dipstick is the cap for the steering pump, and you'll need a funnel to put fluid in it. Good luck...

You should be able to drop the rear seats from inside the car and reach in to pull the emergency release handle inside the trunk. You might need to replace the trunk release mechanism which is a job you can do yourself.

Why not just change the lock cylinder in the column?
