Trunk latch is stuck. trunk will not close. help
Its possible that it is just sticky, i dont know for sure what style your car has but if it the kind with the lever in the drivers side floorboard, get a buddy to hold the lever up for you and try to GENTLY pry the latch its self open with a flat head screw driver then spray some white lithium grease on it and work the trunk lid a few times
Replacing fuel pump
To replace the fuel pump you must remove the fuel tank form the car. You will need a floor jack and jack stands and then remove the steel straps that hold the tank in place and then the filler neck and drop down tank to access the fuel lines, disconnect the lines with the special tool kit and slowly drop the tank out.
Security light will not go off
The security, antitheft, or passlock light is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterperates this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link may help you find ways to bypass this or fix it yourself.

Transmition problem
Not good: Indication that the transmission may be slippingIf it is 8 years old or more,not much in way of a fixIf it is a year old- have a trans shop diagnoseI suspect if you were to take it apart, you wouldbe able to put too thick a feeler gauge under clutch drumtop plate, as the clutches are wornThe time delay between gear shifts is confusingthe sensors output data,their good, the internals are not& the computer is confused
Where do i put the antifreeze
If there is no radiator cap on the radiator, there should be a clear plastic tank on the passenger side of the engine with a threaded cap.Make sure you don't pour coolant into the windshield washer tank.
Engine misfiring sputtering
EGR, TPS, or IAC, but it may be an intake manifold gasket getting bad, that is providing you have good plugs and wires. You didnt include enough info for a proper diagnosis
