I took a quick look at the work manual at Autozone and went to work.
1) lift out fan and shroud at the same time--only two nuts at the top hold the shroud in place; the lower shroud tabs just fits into slots down below (great idea)--4 nuts hold fan assembly to pulley. (these take a little time to remove and replace)
2) Loosen idler tension bolt on power steering assembly to loosen serpentine belt and remove.
3) Loosen 3 bolts from front that hold power steering bracket to power steering pump/intake manifold and remove one bolt that holds power steering bracket to block.
4) Remove the one bolt that holds the idler that is on other side of pump and remove idler.
5) Remove the four water pump bolts, tap the pump to break seal, and remove from engine. Clean gasket off block.
6) Replace thermostat while it's easy--we got the correct one at the dealer with the little ball valve (only $1 more than wrong one from Autozone) Replace upper and lower radiator hoses and serpentine belt with new.
7) Remove rigid pipe from top of old pump and install on new pump (I used thread sealant)
8) Remove pulley studs from old pump and install on new pump.
7) Replacement of pump is the reversal of removal !!
PS: use some type of gasket cement on water pump gasket -I used 'right stuff' on this one.
Does anyone have an idea of where I could find manuals for assistance?
wire hooked up wrong?
if worked befor you changed bulbs they auta work with new bulbs if put back together as taken apart
Also what was the original factory plug used?
I bought a Haynes manual, but found it so lacking in info on the 04 I4 that I returned it.
I ended up buying a CD on E-Bay that factory shop manual is a factory shop manual. It only cost $9 including shipping. I have to get used to using the CD as in the past I always bought the paper FSMs.
I was also directed to a web site that had a "how to" with pictures.
any help at all would be appreciated
sorry for such a long message
4 inline fuses from the battery seem to be OK, but still no ignition. Fuse panel has power. Anyone know where else to check.
They are not your typical fuses, but if you lift the cover on the fender, you can traced the positive battery terminal wires to a silver box with seven wires coming out of it : )
This is kind of like a nerve central relay, and if any of those wires are burnt, then you will need to replace the fuses there, which happens alot with battery jumps, other electrical spikes.
Trust me, had it happen when our insurance carrier forced me to install a anti theft system.

Keep the rubber side pointed down, or at least sideways : )
Being stupid, we never asked where the short was. Can anybody help me? We have checked all the fuses, none blown...any suggestions?
Angie :confuse:
Try calling the person who did the original repair. There's at least a small chance he or she would remember what was at fault and provide you with specifics.
