Check the fuse that controls the Fan first. If that's ok, then check the connections to the fan assembly.

What do you need to do if the inside blower on your air conditioner does not cut off?
Check the thermostat. Make sure the fan switch is on auto. If it is disconnect the green wire from the control box at the air handler. This will disconnect the fan from the thermostat. If the fan continues to run, you have a stuck fan relay. If the fan shuts off, you have a bad thermostat.

Why is your Abs and traction control light on?
There is a problem with the ABS system. It is part of Traction Control. If the ABS is not working then the Traction Control is not working. You still have standard braking but probably no ABS. Have this checked by a professional, as it can be many things.

Next to the firewall, rear of engine. Paint the finger loop it a light color so that you can find it easily, especially when in shade.
How do you adjust the idle in a 1998 Cadillac Catera?
You cannot adjust the idle in a 1998 Cadillac Catera. It is computer controlled. If the idle is not at 750 rpms then there is another problem with the engine. Check for codes with an OBD2 tester.
How can you turn off the air bag light?
I just called Honda. Honda airbags have a life time warranty. I took my car in, they hooked it up to their computer, and three different codes came up. They replaced the seatbelt sensor, free of charge.
Where is the fuel filter located on a 1998 Cadillac Catera?
Most GMs have the fuel filter on the underbody railing close to the fuel tank. It will likely be a silver canister in the fuel line slightly smaller then a 12oz soda can. I would advise having a mecanic change it for safety reasons gasoline is very dangerous!! and it may spray out under pressure. They are mounted on the bracket that fastens the gas tank to the car under the right passenger axle. I just changed mine. It is NOT unsafe to change them as long as either you relieve the fuel system pressure or hold a rag around the banjo bold when you crack the bolt so gas doesn't spray all over you. It ran me about $20 at the local auto parts store.
