Have a 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 3.8L V6. The radiator fans are not coming on when the car gets hot and the car gets real hot what and where is the sensor for this?

- I figured it out. The fans wont turn on if there is voltage on the line that is coming from the coolant temperature sensor which is located directly underneath the thermostat housing. When I unplugged the jumper which is centered above the engine underneath the engine cover and cut off the voltage on the line the fans came on in about 10 seconds and stay on. Kragen or Auto Zone has the part for $17.95. Which fixed the problem.
Providing your guage is working correctly; look just inside the fan, you should see a wire coming from the fan motor, follow the wire. It will end up at a sending unit that looks similar to a fitting. This is what tells the fans when to turn on.

My right blinker doesn't work on my 1999 oldsmobile intrigue, due to the wiring in the steering column. How do i find the wiring schematics for it?

My 99 intrigue only getting 4.94 volts the gray & black to orng & black wire and gray & black to green wire thay both get 4.94 volts when the switch is on and for 2to3 sec after the switch is off. I repaced the relay with one out of a car in the bone yard. when the relay is when getting 12v the points open and close.

1999 intrigue GLS 3.5- Runs rough. The guy I got it from was told the cat convert was bad so he gutted it. Still runs rough. I took it to Autozone and the codes read "bad cranshaft position sensor" and "multiple cyl misfire". I pulled the sensor and the wires have been very hot and were bare at the plug. Some may have been touching each other. I repair the wires as best I could and retried it. Still bad. I purchased a new sensor, still bad. I now have the plugs out and tested the compression. All are above 120 but the rear three are around 140-150. I am goingto change the plugs and little rubber boots. Is there something else that can cause the rough running, high idle then drops to almost nothing and sometimes dies, no power and must be held at high idle to drive?
