I have a 2000 GMC Safari van I'm getting fire from the coil through the distributor cap to the spark plugs and even tried spraying starting fluid but still can't get it to crank is it possible that it is just the fuel pump gone bad

Is the engine turning over and not firing? Check the schrader valve on the fuel rail for pressure. Remove the air filter and spray starting fluid into the intake tube. Have a second person turn the engine over till it fires. If you have adequate spark to the cylinder and starting fluid reaching the cylinder, it will fire. Don’t over spray the cylinder.

The interior lights on my father-in law's 2000 Safari are all inop (6 spots plus two dome lights) I can't find a fuse in the engine box for them. Is there another fuse box. The van has a dome overr

Does the van have remote keyless entry (RKE) system ? Interior Lighting System Description Vehicles with the optional remote keyless entry (RKE) system have interior lighting controlled by the body control module (BCM). This vehicle uses a delayed interior lighting system. The system functions as follows: • The dome lamps will illuminate when any door is opened. • The dome lamps will remain on for 20 seconds after the last door is closed. • The delay is canceled and the dome lamps will go out when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. • The illuminated entry function will not operate when the dome lamp defeat switch is in the OFF position. • The interior lighting system is protected from battery rundown by the retained accessory power (RAP) system. The RAP system functions by shutting down interior lights after 10 minutes (when ignition is OFF). Interior Lights Circuit Description When the interior lamps circuits are closed/enabled, the courtesy lamp relay is activated by the two following coil circuits: • CKT 690 (GRY/BLK) which is the courtesy lamp enable output of the body control module (BCM) driving the coil side of the relay. • CKT 1732 (ORN) which is the coil output side of the relay going to the potential grounding switches/sources. When the courtesy lamp relay is enabled, CKT 156 (WHT) (courtesy lamp output) is enabled by the closed contact at the relay and then grounded by CKT 750 (BLK) at G110. Some of these circuits can also be activated with the headlamp and panel dimmer switch. When this happens, the coil output side of the inadvertent power relay is grounded to the body control module (BCM) via CKT 1393 (DK BLU) CKT 40 (ORN) from the courtesy fuse drives both input sides of the inadvertent power relay. When the contact is pulled closed, CKT 1732 (ORN) is supplied power, thus driving any lamps/circuits attached that circuit and providing ground. The body control module (BCM) also monitors the following four door inputs: • CKT 49 (DK BLU) -- LH door jamb switch input • CKT 54 (ORN) -- RH door jamb switch input • CKT 775 (PNK) -- Side door jamb switch input • CKT 656 (YEL) -- Rear door jamb switch input/liftgate strut switch input (depending on option content) When the doors are closed, the body control module (BCM) is in a floating state of 0-2 volts. When the doors are opened, the courtesy lamp relay is activated, sending power to the courtesy lamps. The headlamp and panel dimmer switch also activates the following interior courtesy lamps when the switch is placed in the PARK or HEADLAMP ON positions: • RF power window switch • RH power door lock switch • LH power window switch • LH power door lock switch • LH outside rearview mirror control switch • Rear radio control head The dome lamps can be disabled by closing the dome lamp defeat switch located on the headlamp and panel dimmer switch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courtesy or Dome Lamps Inoperative Step Action Value(s) Yes No Important: Verify functional bulbs before beginning diagnostic procedure. 1 Did you perform the Lighting Diagnostic System Check? -- YES - Go to Step 2 NO - Go to Diagnostic System Check - Lighting Systems 2 Are all of the courtesy/dome lamps inoperative? -- YES - Go to Step 6 NO - Go to Step 3 3 Activate courtesy/dome lamps With DMM, check for battery voltage from inoperative lamp CKT 1732 (ORN) to ground Is battery voltage present?

How do I change the washer fluid reservoir? It pours out of the bottom as soon as I put the fluid in the top.

there are typically 3 to 4 lag screws or bolts on them. If you are leaking that bad it is shot, no question there, getting a replacement will show you where they are located on the tank. save yourself a headache and make sure it has the pump and ant level sensors already installed, then when you unplug the connectors clean them with BLACK sandpaper and treat with dielectric grease (the small "buck a pack" ) convenience packs at the counter of the local auto parts store will suffice. If you bought a used tank make sure you clean the connectors on it as well. When you are done, take apart the old tank, save the pump(s) and any sensors as spares. AND if you are really handy with a high wattage soldering iron with a broad head or a wood burner, you MAY be able to melt the broken tank back together, or fill in missing plastic with donor plastic from a heavy food grade plastic bottle. And let me tell you, This (plastic welding) is a majorly useful skill, and is actually the principle that hot glue works under.

What is causing battery drain?

Someone would need to disconnect all of the circuits including the alternator then reconnect one by one. It could be anything from a stuck relay to a light on.

Rear cargo door power lock not working. need to remove the inside panel to get to linkgage. how do i remove it. where are the screws, cannot find the panel screws

Probably are not any screws--may be held in place with plastic push in connectors. Use flashlight to see from bottom and needle nose pliers (small) or special trim panel tool to pry panel outward.
