How do you troubleshoot a 2001 grand prix windshield washer?

you have to jack the car up. The pump is located near the bottom of the bottle on the passenger side somewhat under the battery. You can reach up and unplug the electrical connector that supplies power to the pump, its in between the fender and the bottle so its not the best spot to get at but it can be done fairly easy, the other connector that you can see easily is your level indicator so leave that one. Once unplugged have someone run the washer and use a meter to see if you are getting approx. 12 volts if not then something is wrong with either the switch by the dash or on the wiper motor itself. If you are getting 12 volts then you have a bad washer pump.

The Mass Air Flow sensor is located to the right of the engine, it is on the cold air intake side. You have to take the plastic guard off, then you will need the correct torx driver bit with the hole cut out in it. There are only four screws, it is pretty easy. Just be careful with the new one when putting it in.

Haynes Repair Manual #38010 will give you all the details you need. You can pick one up at Autozone for about $15. I don't recommend Chilton. I think Haynes offers alot more detailed info.

How do you remove the factory CD-Player on a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix SE?

You must remove the dash panel that surrounds the factory radio, a/c unit, and stretches around the speedo, etc.. there will be some screws to remove, so look around carefully for screws hidden in depressions. Carefully begin to pry off the dash panel as it is attached by spring clips as well. This will take some time to do as you want to be careful not to break it if you miss a screw. Take your time, the dash panel will loosen and need to be coaxed out around the steering column, etc... Once you get this off, you will see screws holding in the factory radio. take those out, the radio should slide out. Remove the harness and antenna wire. If your radio is protected by the security feature pass lock, hope you remember or wrote down the code. If you didn't, you may want to consult someone on how to disable or erase this feature before removing the radio. Once you take the radio out and the pass code is activated, good luck getting the radio to work again. The owner's manual may be a good start. I've taken this apart once or twice on my 2002, so it should be quite similar. i just remember taking my time and not being in a hurry, It's not complicated, you just want to be careful.
