Misc repairs

We set a new record on dash lights, so I'm hitting the 850 t5 hard with some love and attention.

Here's the list:
1. Replacing alternator (battery dying, only 13V at battery while running with minimized load.

2. ABS control module. Pulled it off tonight, will be sending out for repair

3. Loosing coolant. Had visible buildup at first connector behind resevoir, clean, trimmed hose, waiting to see if loss continues.

4. Check engine light. Codes a plenty! ( 0172 , and cylinder misfire codes ) Will be inspecting vacuum lines, cleaned MAF, ordered tune up supplies and will install next week. Reset codes and hope for the best! Anyone have diagrams of the vacuum hoses I should inspect?

5. Will check AC clutch gap and adjust if out of tolerance. Anyone able to describe to me the location of the overheat cutout switch?

6. Mushy brakes, need to bleed, any recommendations? (new rotors/pads <6 months)

7. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
