There is no "radiator cap" on the Alero. It has a pressurized recovery tank (overflow bottle) integrated into the cooling system. Unlike other cooling systems where you can add coolant to the coolant reservoir when the engine is hot as there is no pressure in the reservoir, these tanks are at full system pressure and must be allowed to cool down in order to check levels and/or add coolant. This is the only place in the system that allows for coolant input.

Your Alero does not have a transmission dip stick. You do not need to check it unless it starts leaking.


Please let me know if this information is helpful. Positive feedback is appreciated. Thank You!

SOURCE: fuel pump 2002 oldsmobile alero

In order to replace the fuel pump u must remove the gas tank, the fuel pump is located inside the tank. U are going to need to get the car at least 3 feet in the air, u will need a good 2 1/2 ton hydraulic floor jack, 4 good safety stands and common hand tools, also a brass drift to release fuel pump module retainner ring on top of tank, don't use steel one spark and u are up in smoke.

I suggest that you visit the autozone.com website and register the vehicle. It doesn't cost anything and will give you access to an online repair manual. The steps for replacing the water pump should be available there. Hope this helped and best wishes.

SOURCE: 2003 Oldsmobile Alero Flasher fuse

I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero, Its located behind the hazard button to the right of the speedo cluster. If you have a clicking noise as if your turn signal was on or hazard buttons pressed. Its not your flasher problem. I had to tear apart half the dash and found out that was not problem. Its the turn signal/ wiper switch located on top the steering column. Its very easy to change. The top piece above the turn lever and wiper lever just snaps out. One torx screw holds it in. Unscrew then lift up there are a few wire plugs in the back. Lift up on the wire tabs and pull plugs out. Reverse order to replace with new part that I bought from Napa auto parts for around $150. You can do this if you have very novice skills and 1 torx bit tool. If can help in any other way, just let me know and good luck.....YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Thanks for the cap but can anyone give me some tips on whit maybe casing the overheating prob....

gm coolant the pink stuff is notorious for creating blockage severely flush the system use a radiator and coolant system flush product from local parts store, follow directions replace with green coolant. plus youll want to check the intake make sure the gasket hasnt let go have replace two because of coolant blockage major job approx 12 hrs so is expensive, done this on a 2000 alero with 127,000 miles and a 2002 with 60,000 miles. ps the intake gasket usually lets go at the left side youll need a flash light. Hope this helps

LOCATE THERMOSTAT ON 2002 ALERO AND HOW TO INSTALL

Follow the upper radiator hose to the engine. It should be located in a housing near where the hose connects to the engine.

Drain the antifreeze, follow top hose to bottom of engine. Bolts probaly come out from top, but will be under manifold, ouch, pain in but.

hope it works

Where is the thermostat located

Typically if you are standing infront of the car looking at the motor, if you follow the radiators right side (Upper) hose it will lead you to the t-stat houseing, some are metal domes with 2 bolts holding it in place, others lead to a resivior with a twist off cap that covers your t-stat. Hope this helps
