connect power to a switched power so it goes off when key is off

If you can't find a power steering fluid reservoir under the hood in the engine compartment your G6 could have Electronic Power Steering . If you look up under the dash below the steering column you will see a electric motor mounted to the steering column ! The power steering system reduces the amount of effort needed to steer the vehicle. The system uses the powertrain control module (PCM), body control module (BCM), power steering control module (PSCM), discrete battery voltage supply circuit, steering shaft torque sensor, steering wheel position sensor, power steering motor, driver information center (DIC), and the serial data circuit to perform the system functions. The PSCM and the power steering motor are serviced as an assembly and are serviced separately from the steering column assembly. The steering shaft torque sensor and the steering wheel position sensor are not serviced separately from each other or from the steering column assembly. The steering column assembly does not include the power steering motor and module assembly.

In the steering column

Should be on the extreme left side of the dashboard. Open the driver door and loo on the end of dash. Remove the cover (should say Fuses on it)

more than likely

The float is in the gas tank

Only if it gets in the way of the vent doors that control the direction of air flow. It could stop you from controlling the direction of air flow only. No other problems to worry about.

It is a camshaft position sensor. It sends info to the computer to determine when fuel and ignition should occur.

Buy the sensor from the car dealership. The sensors at auto stores are inferior and sometimes do not work properly.

Yes it does

Either a blown bulb or fuse

No you can take it out with a 1 1/16 deep socket and swivel.

It is in the front just above the oil filter, no you do not need to remove the filter. Use a 1 1/16 deep socket with a swivel.

Hey Sidney. On G6 it has a pass lock anti theft- in which your key is programmed into the computer. If the key is not programmed into the computer or ECM, then nothing at all, heres the steps, and where it says a new cut key on 1, ignore that, just use your key, and also you will need to take your g6 into the dealership and have them reflash the ECM, and program the VIN number into your new ECM, if not it might throw the check engine light. 1. Insert a new cut key in ignition and turn key to the ON position for 10 minutes and 30 seconds. 2. Within 45 seconds turn the key to OFF and then back to the ON position for 10 minutes and 30 seconds. 3. Within 45 seconds turn the key to OFF and then back to the ON position for 10 minutes and 30 seconds. 4. Turn key OFF then back ON. The key is now programmed. Start vehicle to test key.

Check your EGR system.

Check your axle and drive shaft for broken parts
