    Anti Theft System

    i think HOSS meant are you sure you have an Active Alarm System. you pay extra for that at the dealer. a Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) comes standard and has a box in the trunk.

    95 Running Warm

    the relay is in the CCRM by the coolant reservoir. to test for power to fan. connect multimeter to fan motor connector (R/O wire and BK). check for 12v when fan should be on. if you have power and ground then fan is bad. if you don't then you need to check that circuit.
