If you do not have a schematic, here is one for a Reatta and it should be similar....

Je08016... I’m having the same issue for my 2004 Buick Regal both fan are working for low and medium speed but the high speed fan won’t come on when the engine is hot. However, the high speed fan will come on when I turn on my AC. I replaced the 5pins & 4pins relay as well as thermometer & Collings sensor. The coolant was boiling & spilling out of the reservoir tank when the temp gauge is at 3/4 mark

I followed the advice of JS08016-Pinpointed the problem and fixed it and change the temperature sensor. Everything works perfectly. I strongly advise anyone with this problem to start with that recommendation for repair. It’s spot on

Scott... I follow JS08016 instructions but it didn’t work form me. I think the next step for me is to replace the radiator because I don’t believe that there is a problem w the pcm
