I don't have an owners manual, was wondering if you could help with a fuse panel diagram?

Also I'm worried that the fuel pump isn't working (I can't hear anymore) Any way around that situation without taking the fuel tank out,,,,not looking forward to that!!!!

Any help is appreciated.

Inspect and test the fuel pump relay which is located in the engine compartment , behind the right strut tower. If it is OK, try banging on the side of the fuel tank to get the pump to kick in. If this works, the pump will need replacing.

My cars fan quit and my uncle attempted to run what he called a hot wire from the battery. He is a retired certified mechanic. Unfortunately my fuse box caught on fire after he put the wrong amp fuses in the various places. Should I get a chevy dealer to look at the car or allow another mechanic friend to attempt to fix? We've attempted to download a fuse diagram to no avail

i assume your talking radiator fan. all you have to do is wire in a fuse holder from a hot wire coming from the fuse box and run the wires to the radiator fan. sounds to me like the car caught fire because of a wire crossing and causing a short.

you can also fix it the right way. most of time its just a bad coolant sensor. or even relay
