1999 Oldsmobile Aurora Questions & Answers
99 olds aurora turn signal lights don't flash and battery drains. Please help
Non working turn signals will not drain the battery because they work when the key is on. You may have a bad battery. If your signal lights come on and do not flash, you have a bad flasher which should be located under the dash area. As for the battery, most parts houses will check the condition of the new battery for free. If you think you have a bad battery, make sure that it has a good charge then disconnect it from the system by disconnection one of the cables. If the battery goes dead overnight then it is self draining.

Your master switch is stuck in the running position and need to be replaced. Very simple to do. The reason your battery is running down is the switch is constantly activated and draining the system. Once you replace the switch everything will be good
Where is the fan relay on 1999 aurora located
Cooling Fan Relay No. 1
Center rear of engine compartment, left of the windshield wiper motor
7 - COOLING FAN #2 Relay
8 - COOLING FAN #3 Relay High Speed Cooling Fan Relay #3
9 - COOLING FAN Fuse
60A
Cooling Fan Relay #1, Cooling Fan Relay #2
Cooling fans kick on for a few seconds then cut off
The fan should work off of the water temp. The fan will come on and off to keep the constant temp on the cooling water. If equipped with a second fan it is probably for the AC and will run when the A/C is on. If you think the fan should be on. Then If you know where the fan relay is check to see if it is hot, if real hot the relay may be going bad. Hope you know this when you turn the car off the fan can still come on if the water temp is to high. My thought fan going bad, temp sensor or relay may be the problem.. If you can touch the fan motor metal housing and it is real hot the fan man be going bad, remember the blades can start at any time.
Same question no tail lights or dash light
Most likely you have a lifted ground wire(one that is not getting connectivity to the metal of the car). Go back and look at fuses(assuming you have already ruled this out) and then look for a wire chassis that connects to your fuse panel(s). Check the harness at the lighting control module(big box above the passenger kick panel) and re-seat it. I had a really similar issue with my '05 Pontiac Grand Am and it turned out to be the wire chassis harness not being properly grounded. Most of the time it is as simple as just tightening the harness housing back down that can fix this issue. If you have already exhausted all of these methods then it would be best to let a service technician look at it. I know the cost is between $500-$700.
If you want to DIY then grab a very high concentrated Isopropyl rubbing alcohol(70% or higher as it leaves no residue) and clean all of the points with cotton tipped cleaners(Q-Tips). Make sure you unhook the battery prior to beginning this work. A good spark could fry your internals and also cause the high concentration rubbing alcohol to ignite. It's not combustible via fumes but burns bluish-white so it is very hot and needs to be used with EXTREME caution.
Hope this helps.
I need to know how to replace the serpentine belt?
Using a belt removal tool or equivalent, you must move the belt tensioner to loosen the belt tension and remove the belt. Using the diagram underhood to re-route the new belt position it on the pulleys as per the diagram, ensuring it is properly seated on all grooved pulleys. Then release the release the force applied to the belt tensioner to re-tighten the new belt. If you don't have a diagram underhood, here is what Autozone says it should be.
