Usually located near the thermostat housing, screwed into the intake manifold. Should be two sensors, one having only one wire feeds dash light, one with two wires feeds computer to adjust fuel mix depending on engine temp.

SOURCE: How do I replace a lowbeam headlight bulb on a 2008 GMC Acadia

You will have to go through your mud guards. Remove your tire, and look inside your wheel well, you will see two part mud guard, front half and back half. Just remove the 7 screws from the front half, 5 on the wheel well itself, and two on the bottom, retaining screw to the bumper, now depending on which side you're looking at anywhere from 5-7 plastic pop-its. Use a flat tip screw driver to loosen the pins up, then remove the pop-it studs. There are two on the bottom front that connect to the vehicle frame. Once this is removed, you can access your headlight assemby to replace both bulbs. Note, you will have to do this to replace your fog light bulb should it go out as well.

Open the hood and look in the area behind the headlight itself. You will see the wires running in to the light through a collar. Turn the collar counter clockwise and remove the assembly. Remove the bulb and plug in the new bulb and reverse the process to replace.

SOURCE: 2008 GMC Acadia has water leaking into floorboards

{: ) The drain hose is just near to the right of the gas pedal, but is being covered by the center floor console. You need to remove only the side trim panel, which is supported by 3 clips from inside.
To give you an idea how to remove that side panel, first move the driver seat maximum rearward. Remove all the extra floor mattings on that area. About 1 foot away from the pedal. grasp the lower edge of the trim panel and pull. You may hear or feel the first clip snap out. These clips are normally seated about 3/4 inch depth.
Next, move another foot away and position your hands again to snap out the second clip. The third clip is alittle above it. At this point, you may be seeing some clearance at the upper edges of the panel. Work your way from there. You can apply some flexing maneuvers.
When you're successful, you can then proceed with pulling and cleaning of the drain hose. Check also if the drain pipe from the HVAC housing is clogged.
A clogged a/c drain system will not only wet your floor, but it can also damage your blower motor, leaving it stucked or noisy.

2008 acadia coolant gets away slowley

Well someone has to figure out by looking at the car whether this is a slow leak to the outside or a much worse slow leak into the lubrication or combustion areas of the engine. Coolant is very bad for internal hard surfaces so get it done ASAP.
