So many problems round 2

1988, 351w, c6

first of all my drivers side power lock button isnt working but the passenger side is. i tried to test the wires going into the switch for power but no luck .. i might not be connecting the right ones. any ideas?

it appears that the rear differential is leaking oil right where the driveshaft comes in is this possible for a shade tree mechanic to fix?

next weekend i plan on replacing rotors any special tips for flange style hubs as far as removing and what to look for in terms of wear?

also i hafta replace the blinker/hazard light switch in my steering column it seems pretty straight foward except after i pull the steering wheel off how do i disconnect the wires to the cover for the horn and cruise? hayes says it requires a special tool is it really necessary?

ps im going to chage tranny and coolant where should i dispose of these and how much is there to drain/ replace


im sure i will have more problems to post soon

My advice:
Break it down. One job at a time. Your asking too much in a single post. Pick one, ask, fix it, move to the next.

People are more likely to respond to posts that ask specific questions rather than "So many problems...".

Try to search for answers on specific components. Some of this sounds familiar.

Can't help with most of it.
Tranny fluid and coolant: check with oil change places (Jiffy lube etc) and auto parts stores.

Power lock: You have to find the right wires. Check a wiring diagram for your truck and it should give the colors for the wires. Otherwise all I can suggest is to remove the door panel and check at the connection at the actuator.

If you need a wiring diagram try autozone.com. They have online repair manuals.
