Why do you think you would need a body shop? Was the car in an accident? I don't know what you mean by a header panel, but any normal mechanic will be able to unbolt things that are not integral to the body of the car.

you dont,you go to a dealer

The alternator is not working properly. Most likely the diode trio that is inside the alternator is defective. The diode trio transforms AC to DC.

The pump works off the same circuit as the wipers, so it would be same fuse. Most likely the pump is no bad.

Dont repair but buy a new one.

I would guess your master cylinder is not retracting all the way.

you have the common GM 3.1 or 3.4 intake gasket leak. all those motor have the problem

Yes there are. At parts stores have them.

You need to have your alternator checked. It charges your battery while the car is running. Your battery light comes on when the battery is low on power. You alternator may be weak or not working at all. I would have it tested.

The service vehicle is not the same as the service engine light in that the service vehicle light has to do with the body control module,(BCM).You have to get the codes read for the BCM and any other module with the scan tool.I`m not sure if Auto Zone can read the BCM codes.Not all scan tools are able to read all the modules in a vehicle.Hope this helps.Good luck.

If your alternator is going bad that would cause your battery to be drained since your car electronics are just pulling from the battery. Most auto part stores have free battery and alternator testing. That is where I would start.

Does that require a brake pedal push? Maybe your linkage for that is sloppy.

I have the 3.4 GT model and did not know prior about the bleeder screw for the radiator. With air in the system it will blow out most of the fluid until you get the air out...Once done ...no problem at all with the radiator

Most likely cause is a leaking heater core. Have your cooling system pressure tested and look for leak.

You need to pop the trunk and look behind the back plate.these lights are usually 5watt small bayonet types and easy to spot if filament has burned or broken.

It is chiming with the seat belt in operation then have it checked out. I you do not wish to wear the seat belt just do it up and sit on it Why anybody would want to turn of a safety alarm is a bit beyond comprehension.

Did you make sure your cap cap is on tight? The "check engine" light is there to help warn drivers of a problem with their car's engine & related systems.

have vehicle scanned to find problem codes, it may be that the cam sensor is bad.

One thing you should do is actually TEST the fuse with a meter, or just replace it anyway. You can often be fooled by "looking" at a fuse. You can't always tell when they are blown by looking.

Sounds like the coolant chamber on the egr pipe is leaking, you will need to change it to fix the problem, it will get worse as it gets more use
