Drivers side power window motor
Your best shot at an easy fix is to find the broken fourth wire for that rear door, and be able to splice it back together in the door opening, without having to pull the door panel off to get to that or to everything else that could be accessed. Yes, the motor could be jumped from a battery set nearby, but to do so, the door panel has to be removed.I think there should be four wires to that door. I can think of no logical reason to have four on one rear door and three on the other. Pull all the protective covers away from the wires to look at them closely for a broken wire or broken end of a wire. Good luck. If it rains, you may have to use the plastic sheet over door trick.
Relay keeps tripping and causes all lights to blink once every 30 seconds
While it sounds like a short somewhere in the wiring It would not hurt to switch out the breaker. If that does not help then it's fault isolation. You will need to check each connection. Try grounding the black lead from your meter, then poke around checking if you see a connection. It's not uncommon for wires to short were they come into friction with some metal part. Then you need to check all the "hot" connections. With everything turned off see if something remains powered up. "Leaks" happen for a hundred different reasons, The part may be bad, or the power connection might have a short.Remove and check all the relays also. Not uncommon for a relay to short internally. Fault isolation ranks right up there as one of the most frustrating jobs, so good luck!!!
Leaking coolant from bottom
Usually this is a simple fix like the upper or lower radiator hose leaking or just a loose clamp at one of these hoses. Get a bright flashlight, upon the hood and check the hoses at both ends. Make sure the engine is off. You might have to lay under the front of the car to look at the bottom hose. These hoses are the usual suspects start here. If these look ok and are not leaking look at the front of the engine where the belt is for any coolant dripping. If so this could be the waterpump leaking. If u plan on doing this job yourself I think u should watch a video on utube on how to do it. Good luck

How do you take off door panel 1996 Monte Carlo se?
1. Remove the screw holding the door-open handle bezel, and remove the bezel. Unhook the power
door lock switch (if equipped) and set the bezel aside.2. Carefully remove the power window switch from it's bezzel. There are 4 small clips, 2 on each side of the switch. Once you remove the switch from the bezel, the bezzel can be gently pried out the top of the panel w/ a small screw driver from the front.3. Starting at the front w/ a small screw driver, pry out (gently!) the trim inlay that's above the
arm rest... it was wood-grained plastic on this model.4. Use a #30 torq bit to remove the large screw towards the top of the opening where the trim inlay was.5. Remove the 4 Philips head screws around the perimeter of the door panel.6. Lift up on the door panel... you may have to shake it a bit.... and after moving upwards no more that an inch... the panel should come off.
