Did you put the original anti-theft module on the new steering column ? Does yours have steering column mounted ignition switch ? Vehicles with steering column mounted ignition switches have the exciter integral with the theft deterrent control module (VTD) which is located within the steering column.

I searched for " horn location Pontiac Montana " & got a fair number of hits. Suggest you try.

ignition switch is bad

Buy a scanner at autozone about $50 and clear them. That way you will be able to scan your self and know what is wrong with van. I have my own scanners

Owner's Manual page 2-26 : http://www.vadengmpp.com/owners-manual/pontiac/2004-Pontiac-Montana.pdf This switch, located in the overhead console switchbank, is used for opening and closing the power rear quarter windows. Press the textured part of the switch to open the windows; both windows will open. The windows will continue to open as long as the switch is pressed, until they are fully opened. Press the part of the switch with the symbol to close both windows. The windows can be closed fully or partially, depending on how long the switch is pressed.

You need to let your mechanic check it out for you. This should be your best bet.

fuel pump is located in the gas tank so need to get a new sending unit.

It is spliced in the harness and goes to the front of the vehicle. Probably a ground on the transmission. I never got that far. I cut the ground wire and run it to the body.

Unless the face of the stereo says MONSOON there is no separate amplifier. On a Non-Monsoon Delco system all four amplifiers are built into the stereo, Left front, Right front, Left rear, and Right rear. Monsoon systems do have a separate amplifier which basically boosts the output of the four regular amps in the radio. I can't imagine all four of those amplifier output chips going out at the exact same time. I would pull the stereo and check if all plugs are seated properly. If those were all securely plugged in I would (myself) inspect the inside of the unit for the cause of failure. For example all four amp chips pull power from a common point and if one chip had a severe enough short in it, this may have caused the power feed trace on a circuit board to overload (too much current going through it) and created an open which killed power to all four of them. Any good electronics repair shop worth their salt should be able to repair it if you can locate one willing to try. It may only need a circuit board trace repair and one amp chip replaced.

Wipers are either the improper length, wiper shafts need adjusting or the linkage has been modified.

For EASY Replacement Get One From A Scrap Yard (Junk Yard)

Start furthest from master cylinder. Passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front. These Montana vans have an abs system that can only be cycled by a computer. I had to take to a dealer to get them to bleed the system. Cost about $100 dollars. If you didn't remove any lines from master cylinder you should be okay w/out.

usually tracks are getting worn and kind of grabs get some white lithium grease spray at any auto parts store and spray tracks and hinges should help

You probably ran over a plastic bag that stuck to the hot exhaust and started to burn under the vehicle. The air currents under the vehicle swirled the bag off the pavement. I see a number of plastic bags fluttering under vehicles while driving on the freeway.

You can scan the controller.

Use the alternator mount as the ground and the start red wire as the battery!
