I have a couple different issues.... Help is appreciated

I have a 96 trans am and i drove it fine saturday night and went to drive it sunday and when the car needed to go into third gear nothing just reved like it was in neutral .... Anyone know if this is a sensor or is it time for the transmission to be rebuilt... Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Second issue is i finally was able to get my turn signal working properly on both sides... Had to replace the light bulb socket...
Now other issue im having is i can't seem to get my illumination lights/parking lights/fog lights to work at all now... Any suggestions ... We are thinking relay switch but anyone have any exp. with this input is greatly appreciated.

Last issue is my low coolant light/security lights/abs inop light is on
Abs still functions/ low collant light is wrong there is plenty of coolant...
What would fix those lights anyone know or what would cause them to be on?

Well I can help you out on the low coolant light.
You need to replace the Coolant Level Sensor.
It's on the passenger side of the radiator.
They seam to go bad all the time.

You would be better off breaking this down into seperate posts, and putting each of them on the correct forum.... "Drivetrain" for the transmission problem, and the wiring problems on "General 67-02 F-Body Tech". None of them is an "engine" tech problem.

IP dimmer fuse number 16 it's 5 amp. Check it.

How do you know the ABS still functions? When it does function, the 'Low trac" light will appear. Did you see it come on? Just cause the brakes work, doesn't mean the ABS works.

However, since your security light is on and the engine actually runs, it sounds as though you have an issue with the BCM. Start by checking other functions controlled by the BCM. For example, see if the hatch opens with remote release in the glove box. Check the seat belt light when the seat belt is not latched and someone is in the seat.

If that also doesn't fuction, start looking for ground and power to the BCM.

Checked the fuse its good... Dunno never have watched for the abs ... Might have to check on that a lil bit more. Yes the hatch opens fine and the seat belt light works as well..

I'll check into the low coolant light sensor..replace that and see if that helps out.
Thanks
