Taurus Overheating Electric Fan Issue

Overheating on a Taurus, eh? It's like a fever for your car. Have you checked the fan clutch, if it has one? Sometimes those seize up. Also, is the fan motor itself getting power? A simple test light can tell you that. Or maybe it is the temperature control sensor, check if that's faulty.

Thanks. I'm not too familiar with the electrical stuff. Could you explain how to test the fan motor for power using a test light?

Alright, think of the test light as a detective. You clip it to a good ground, then poke the probe into the wire that feeds power to the fan motor. If the light comes on when the engine is hot enough for the fan to kick in, you've got power. If not, the problem is upstream. Since you're not too familiar with electrical work, it might be best to have a workshop take a look. Could save you from frying something.

Thanks for the explanation and advice. I'm going to take it to a workshop to get it checked out. With the electrical stuff, it's probably the best thing to do. They think it will cost about 95€.
