Continental, Sable, TAURUS & THUNDERBIRD

Electric cooling fan system consists of either a single-speed or dual-speed fan. A dual-speed fan is used on all 3.0L vehicles (except SHO) and 3.8L vehicles with A/T. A single-speed fan is used on Taurus with 3.0L SHO.

On 3.0L A/T vehicles, low-speed cooling fan motor operation is achieved by using a dropping resistor in series with motor. All others use a dual-speed fan motor. Cooling fan operates only when ignition is on.
