Hi there. From the description you have provided, my thought is, your vehicle has a coolant leak (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/coolant-is-leaking-inspection). Assuming you added to the cooling system, would account for the temperature gauge returning to normal and low coolant indicator going off....
The leak and cause of the light for gauges coming on could be the oil pressure sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/oil-pressure-sensor-replacement) (which would be leaking and causing the loss of signal to the oil gauge. The leak on the passenger side floor is...
The noise may be from the fan, or the AC compressor. The battery going dead would need to be checked for a draw, or short to the battery; the cables would also need to be checked. The headlight high beam...
Hi there. Check the coolant and see if it's low. If the coolant is low, then top off the coolant and check around to locate a coolant leak. If there is no leaks, then the coolant may have blown out...

Hi there. The engine fault workshop light means that the engine light is on and active with a fault code. Get a code reader and scan the computer to the vehicle to determine what codes are stored in the computer....
I suspect that the high beam headlight relay has burned contacts, and is sticking and "back-feeding" power to the high beam indicator. It could also be a problem with the digital dashboards GM put out during these years. Disconnecting the...
It's difficult to say without knowing what the exact code is, but if you are dealing with an OBD II code, which is the universal system that started up in '96, It can be reset by any of the inexpensive...
