You add at the coolant surge tank. The surge tank is located at the rear of the engine compartment, the tank has a radiator style cap on it. Never open hot!

On the passenger side of the engine compartment there will be a coolant reservoir. Remove the cap (spins on and off) and add coolant as necessary.

How do I add antifreeze to radiator in a 2005 chevy malabu

There is a coolant reservoir on this vehicle. You don't add directly into radiator. Find cap on radiator. A hose is attached there....follow the hose to a reservoir on the sidewall of engine compartment. This will be your coolant reservoir. Add coolant into that reservoir.

Power sttering loss

its possible this is electric, if you have an owners manual that will tell you, or call your local chevy dealership parts department, give them the vehicle identification number and they can answer it.
if its electric, most likely the fuse blew.

What fluid readings show up on panel on 2004 Chevy Classic. Red box w/ wavy lines and arrow pointing down

that is the low coolant warning, these sensors are noted for false readings, so if the coolant is ok then replace the low coolant sensor in the radiator side tank.
