Where is the thermostat located on a Oldsmobile silhoutte?
Under the throttle body. Facing front of the van follow the radiator hose on the right side of the radiator to the engine. Where that stops is your water neck inside is the thermostat. Most of the 3400's and 3100's have coolant lines running into everything. There is 2 small coolant lines running into the throttle body. They will be kind of a pain to get off.
You may have a line plugged, or the lines to the rear may have been crimped shut and soldered if you aren't the original owner.

Where is the fuse box on an Oldsmobile Intrigue?
If your Intrigue is equipped with California Emissions controls (as my '00 is), you will find a third fuse box. It sits next to the regular fuse box in the engine compartment. In my 99 Oldsmobile Intrigue GL, my fuse box is on the passenger's side panel. I'm not sure if the Intrigue has multiple fuse boxes ? But, on my '99 GL - the fuse box is located under the hood ... behind the battery. It has a plastic cover. You may find a fuse puller inside - also, a diagram of the fuse locations is provided inside the cover along with spare fuses. My Olds Intrigue has both fuse panel locations. Behind the passengers door AND under the hood on the passengers side. The 1999 Intrigue has 2 fusebox locations...a larger fusebox under the passenger side of the hood, (unscrew the large turnhandle in the center of the box to open) which contains the larger fuses, a fuse puller, and the relays. There is also a fusebox on the interior of the passenger side...open the passenger door all the way up, and look at the side of the console panel, between the glovebox and the door. There should be a "finger hole" for you to pull open. It may be VERY hard to get open; mine is. Here you will find the smaller fuses. A diagram of the contents are on the inside of both lids.

What does the low brake fluid light symbol look like?
The indicator symbol can vary from one manufacturer to another, so there is no straight forward easy answer to this question.
Some indicators have a round symbol with dashes around it ... some autos the "brake" lamp will start flashing.
Best prevention: check ALL your engine fluid levels at least once a week. Don't wait for an 'idiot light' to indicate something being wrong ... often when these dash lights come on, the problem has worsened and might require major repairs. Fix the little things sooner and they tend to not become larger nightmares.
Your E-brake light will stay on continuously while the car is on, regardless of the acctual e-brake position
