Could be the top mounth of the shock

look inside trunk for wires.they should lead you to the light.

About 2 gallons.

Could be the motor too...could also be the regulator or broken wire inside the black rubber boot from the body to the door .. What's the big deal about pull the door panel ? Take's 5 min's ,no problem . All other windows work ,correct ? The yellow wire ,pin H at the switch connector is battery voltage supply to the driver switch. Don't forget to check the ground side of the circuit . Pin G black wire goes to G 301 , pins A & E go to the driver door window motor . dark blue & brown . Does the passenger window work from the driver switch ?

It depends what generation each car is. They changed the generation from 6th to 7th in January 2003 so the answer to your question is likely to be No.

There is a hose that leads to the top of the radiator. You will find the thermostat underneath that connection.

Theft lock chip? I don't know about your radio but others that I have dealt with have either had a switch behind a bolt hole which would open and disable the stereo if that mounting bolt was removed. Others would have a jumper wire in the wiring harness end plug so that if someone unplugged the radio from the harness, the missing jumper, again, would disable the radio. Good luck.

So now the new is different? if so then you may need to re programme the new key to the ECM

You need to plug a OBD 2 code reader into it this read all codes and give you a place to start most of the time its a sensor that's how the system works the computer isn't all knowing the sensors give it information that tells it what to do

The seat belt locking situation is detected with a small electrical switch located in the clip of the seat belt. If the warning light is on while the belt is securely inserted then either that small switch has failed or the wires that connect it to the wiring harness of the car are frayed or broken. The test to find out which is simple: with a multimeter you check the switch and the presence of the control voltage (12 v) on the wires.
If the voltage is there but it doesn't changes after you buckle up then the switch is broken - the cheapest solution would be to just short the wires so the safety control unit thinks that the belt is always buckled. If you want to do a proper repair then you will have to replace the belt's clip - about $250 in parts and labor.
If the voltage isn't there then the wires are defective - you will have to remove the carpet, follow the wires all the way up to the dash harness and find the point of failure and fix it - $0 for parts, about $200 for labor at your local repair shop.

remove door panel and check linkages

Programming Theft Deterrent System Components Important: When replacing a body control module (BCM) with an GM Service Parts Operation (SPO) Replacement Part, set up the replacement BCM prior to the 10-minute relearn procedure or the 30-minute relearn procedure. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Body Control System. Important: • When replacing a BCM with an GM SPO Replacement Part, the module will learn the keys immediately. The existing powertrain control module (PCM) must learn the new fuel continue password when you replace the BCM. • When replacing a PCM with a GM SPO Replacement Part, the new PCM will learn the incoming fuel enable password immediately after programming and upon receipt of a password message. A PCM which had been installed in another vehicle would have learned the fuel enable password of the other vehicle's BCM. Perform either the 10-minute relearn procedure or the 30-minute relearn procedure to learn the fuel enable password of the current vehicle's BCM. • When performing either relearn procedure, all previously learned keys will be erased from the BCM memory. • Additional keys may be learned. Refer to Adding Keys . Tools Required • Scan tool • Techline Terminal with current Service Programing System (SPS) software 10-Minute Relearn Procedure Use this procedure after replacing the following components: • The passkey III (PK3) keys • The BCM • The PCM, see Important above Important: If replacing a BCM with a GM SPO Replacement Part, perform the procedure to setup a new BCM prior to the 10-minute relearn procedure. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Body Control System. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Insure that all power consuming devices are turned OFF on the vehicle. With a scan tool, select Request Info. under Service Programming System and follow the scan tool on-screen instructions. Disconnect the scan tool from the vehicle and connect the scan tool to a Techline Terminal with the current Service Programming System (SPS) software. On the Techline Terminal, select Service Programming System and follow the Techline Terminal on-screen instructions. Disconnect the scan tool from the Techline Terminal and re-connect the scan tool to the vehicle. With a master passkey III key, turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. With a scan tool, select Program ECU under Service Programming System. At this point the scan tool must remain connected for the duration of the 10-minute relearn procedure. Observe the scan tool, after approximately 10 minutes the scan tool will display "Programming Successful, Turn OFF Ignition". The vehicle is now ready to relearn the key information and/or the passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to ON. Turn OFF the ignition and wait 5 seconds. With a master Passkey III key, start the vehicle. The BCM has now learned the key transponder information and the PCM has now learned the fuel continue password. Important: Perform this step ONLY on vehicles with EXPORT configured BCM's. Turn OFF the ignition and wait 15 seconds minimum. Important: Perform this step ONLY on vehicles with EXPORT configured BCM's. With a second master passkey III key, start the vehicle. The BCM has now learned the second master Passkey III key transponder information With a scan tool, clear any DTCs. 30-Minute Relearn Procedure Use this procedure after replacing the following components: • The passkey III (PK3) keys • The BCM • The PCM, see important above Important: This procedure is not available on vehicles equipped with option code (Z49). If replacing a BCM with an GM SPO Replacement Part, perform the procedure to setup a new BCM prior to the 30-minute relearn procedure. With a master passkey III key, turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Observe the STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT message on the drivers information center (DIC), after approximately 10 minutes the STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT message on the DIC will turn off. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times for a total of 3 cycles or 30 minutes. Important: The vehicle learns the key transponder information and/or passwords on the ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start the vehicle. With a master passkey III key, start the vehicle. The vehicle has now learned the key transponder information and the PCM has now learned the fuel continue password.

Your starter has burnt areas on the bendix armature. When you turn the key to start, you do not get a good connection. When you turn the key off and then on again the bendix turns and you get a clean spot that can make contact. That is why it started the second time and not the third. Change the starter to eliminate the issue.

Your best bet take it to the dealer or someother qualified repair shop. Nothing you can do . Or have a mobile lock smith come an program a new key

The cranking position of the ignition switch works through the neutral safety switch before the starter itself . The AC when on will automatically run the cooling fans . During cranking they should be out or off for the starter to receive it's high current draw .
