If your rad coolant fan is not working check the fan itself as this is a common problem on these cars. disconnect the plug from the fan motor and run jumper wires directly from battery to the fan motor terminals. if the fan doesn`t run replace fan motor. if it does run the check fuses then fan relay. the relay is in the relay box, the coolant sensor for the fan motor is in the head that goes into a coolant passage that has a 2 wire connector.

the coolant temp sensor is at the rear of the engine and is a "bad word" to get to. the 3 relays are at the bottom,under the fans. if you remove the driver side fan out of the way( 2 10mm bolts holding the fan) you should have good access to them. they do have locks on them and may be tricky to unplug. there is a 7/16 nut holding the relay plate down. remove and it should be easy to remove them.

Removal & Installation To Remove:

  1. Before servicing the vehicle refer to the precautions at the beginning of this section
  2. Remove or disconnect the following:
    • Engine coolant into a suitable container to a level below the ECT sensor gm_car_cad_sev_ect_loc.gif

    • ECT sensor harness connector (A)
    • ECT sensor
To Install:
NOTE: Use care when handling the coolant sensor. Do not drop damage to the coolant sensor will affect the operation of the fuel control system.
NOTE: Replacement components must be correct for the application. Components requiring the use of the thread locking compound, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or sealants are identified in the service procedure. Some replacement components may come with these coatings already applied. Do not use these coatings on components unless specified. These coatings can affect the final torque which may affect the operation of the component. Use the correct torque specification when installing components to avoid damage.
  1. Coat the sensor threads with GM P/N 1050805 sealer or equivalent
  2. Install or connect the following:
    • ECT sensor
      1. Torque to: 15 lb-ft. (20 Nm)
    • ECT sensor harness connector
    • Engine coolant
  3. Start the engine then idle until normal operating temperature is attained.
  4. Recheck coolant level and top off as needed.
  5. Test drive the vehicle.
--- I couldn't find a reference for the 'fan coolant relay switch' although I'm sure there is one on this car.
