The coil and alternator cooling fan only come on when the a/c is on or the over temp light light comes on. I do have a schematic but in paper form not digital. I will answer any questions I can.

Mine works! It's pretty quiet, too. I didn't realize it was on until I stuck my hand in front of the tube and felt the airflow.

That is funny, I had a friend ask me what in the heck those tubes were. I had no clue at the time, and shrugged it off as some wacky GM design. While working on the sequential turn signals (another post on this board)I stumbled upon the motor and figured it out. That just seems like a really neat idea(too bad it isnt a blower into the intake manifold too).

The wiring schematics are in the chilton repair manual. You can likely find one in a public library, or spring the 15 or so bucks and get one at a store.

There's a second fan for shooting air thru those mysterious tubes in the engine compartment? I'd long ago discovered their use, but I've always thought it was air channeled from the pressurized (when fan on) underhood radiator compartment. Where the heck is this second fan? (and I thought I knew this car's innards like the back o' my hand)

When you're standing behind the car and raise the deck lid, notice the "hump" at the upper right corner of the trunk (no jokes please!). If you pull back the carpet, you'll see the fan. It sucks fresh air from under the car and blows it through those tubes onto the coil and alternator.

Mine only comes on when the radiator fan is running. Try turning on your A/C - that should turn on the radiator fan and trunk-mounted auxiliary fan.

Not good,Al. The dash lights should not come on with the brake lights. Could be a short between the dash light circuit and the brake light circuit.

To quote Ogre, "Check all the grounds!" The other possibility is that you have two wires shorting against each other. I've seen a blown fuse do weird things like that too. Man, I hate electrical problems, so time consuming to track down. Good luck.

The rear deck release not working could be in the switch, the wires, the release solenoid, or a blown fuse.
