There is a 1996 GMC

Depends if you kept fluids in it. If so Just try to turn it over with a new battery. You old one probably is no good. After a few turns if you have new gas in tank, it should start. I bought a Ford Ranger that sat up for 3 years and it cranked right up.

Vent control not working.

Usually due to vacuum leak. GMC uses poor quality plastic piping going form the left side front of engine by ac accumulator and runs to the driver side of engine

Recently had new idler arms installed along with

When you change the two idler arms did you have the front end aligned? It could be possible that the alignment is off. If you are having to put alot of input to the steering wheel while driving that may give you the sway feeling you are describing. The torsion bars control front ride height and should be checked as part of the alignment. Hope this helps.

My 1998 awd safari shifts hard from first to

Even though it seems like a trans issue, it may be a restricted fuel filter, that can plug more at higher speeds. I would check the fuel filter first. Good luck...

All of a sudden the

The first thing you need to do is check to make sure you are getting power to the wiper motor. If you have a DVOM (digital volt ohm meter) you can test it yourself. Use your DVOM to check for power at the washer motor terminal. Touch the DVOM ground lead to a solid ground source such as the engine block. Touch the positive lead to the positive terminal on your motor. If there is no power to your motor, check for blown fuses and damaged wiring to the washer motor. Test the fuse using a twelve volt test light. Clip the ground lead to a solid ground source and touch the positive lead to each side of the fuse. If the test light lights up on both terminals, the fuse is good. If your test light only lights up on one side of the fuse or neither, replace the fuse. Use your needle nose pliers to remove the fuse and install a good fuse. Replace the fuse box cover and proceed to the next step. Make sure the mounting bolts are not rusted over and are making a good contact to the car. If all of this checks out ok, then you probably need t replace the motor. I hope this has been helpful

Automatic door locks do not work

Check fuses.

If the fuse for this circuit is ok, and you hear an attempt for the solenoids to operate the door locks, then the solenoids (actuator) for the door lock should be replaced with a newer one that has more strength.

Also, wiring to the switch for the door lock should be checked with a test light to see if it is even getting current. Will have to disassemble the door trim and remove the switch to get at the terminals.

Can test whether the door lock actuator is getting current with a test light as well.

Water leaking from engine

check your hoses where they connect to the Radiator. Are they swolen and did they rupture? Check the heater hoses and your bypass hoses. See if the water is coming from the front of the motor, down low. it could be a water Pump.
