Ford Focus Coolant Problem

Coolant fan will not come on when engine get's to temperature. Causing it to overheat. I changed the coolant temp. sensor but that did not work. I had to put a wire in the fuse box to run fan constantly but the car get's too much fuel because it doesn't let the engine warm properly which floods my spark plugs. Not sure what to do next.

coolant fan operates for cooling when idling. there is a relay that may have failed for not working along with a fuse.

as far as the flooding. it has no relation to the cooling fan issue

I was told that my car may have not had a relay on that model. Also on the diagram of the fuse box the relay spot is blank. Maybe I'll just put one in.
