this is not an easy job-you need to remove lower splash shield, air dam, passenger tire and inner fender on the passenger side, the surge tank, drain the radiator,, remove the air box and intake tube, move the engine computer and position it out of the way-remove the headlights, remove the bolts that hold the radiator to the radiator support and frame, remove hoses, remove the bolts that hold the radiator fan to the radiator core, remove the top support, remove the fan harness...then, remove loosen the compressor, move it out of the way then unbolt the alternator and the alternator harness.

1999 olds aurora security system-
First, work on your remote. Clean the contacts and battery with a number 2 pencil eraser to make sure that you have good electrical contact. Or order another remote keypad from the dealer. And I would also order a couple of door keys to go along with it.
Once you have them, then disconnect the battery terminals, charge the battery for several hours, then reconnect. That should reset all the alarms, and get you back to normal.

Oldsmobile aurora keeps overheating i
The water is leaving somewhere, either leaking out, going into the oil, or going into the exhaust. I would add a bottle of Bar's Stop Leak first. Usually if you smell the antifreeze it indicates a pretty good sized leak. I have had very good results with Bar's.
Check the carpet in the front by the firewall, between the drivers and passengers side. When the heater core leaks you usually get a wet carpet. This would be a fairly inexpensive repair relative to you other options.
