Engine overheats and smoking?

The taurus is a GL with 3.0 vulcan pushrod motor. There is one fan on the radiator, it has three wires coming out of it. Just by looking at it, it seems to have one ground wire and two other wires running to the module. The fan does come on when I check the codes, the codes are 111 332 336 one is pass and other two are EGR related, I dont think these codes are related to the problem. The problem I am having is overheating at idle in park, it does fine at cruise. Fan will not come on while idling, if its not the fan motor or the relay module than what do you think it could be. If you can get me a wiring diagram for this car that would be great. It may be missing an imput to the relay module. Please get back with me as soon as possible, thanks. Jared

The fuse has not blown again. Now it seems to be doing a little better. As long as i'm driving it stays cool but if I sit for about 10 min. It starts to get hot then when I drive it cools down.

Ok I will have someone check the wiring. I want to thank you for all your help. Greatly appreciated!

REPLACED WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, DRIVE BELT, RADIATOR. STILL I GET NO HEAT COMING FROM HEATER AND STILL OVER HEATING

You said the fan module may be good, so next I need to check the imputs to the fan module to confirm that it is good. I need to know the voltage of the two signal wires coming from the PCM going to the fan module. The fan did come on for a few seconds when I checked the codes, so that would mean the 50 amp fuse, and the fan motor ground is good. Problem could be up the line further with the PCM output caused by a bad ECT sensor, but I don't get any codes for it. Can you help me? Thanks Jared

Had it checked for sure and it was my fan. It was not working at all. Thank you so much for your help, couldn't have done it without you.

Dis mourning on my way to work (8mi away) my taurus got really hot almost red lined, what could cause this problem, nothing was leaking untill I stop and parked the car then a little antifreeze came out of the res. Tank, no new noises are comeing from the car, I was gonna start with the thermostate and flush the rad. Could really use some help.

I replaced the thermostate, it was in pieces! I am haveing trouble locating the drain plug for the radiator, is it the lower coolant line? And my hoses feel soft but what do you mean by collapsing? Will I be able to see that? The car seems to get hotter the faster I go? Thank you for the info it really helps!

Thank you guys I will replace the rad hoses today, I flushed her out yesterday, and she is still overheating, I hope this works, Thank you again

I bought a used 95' mercury sable which is exactly same as ford taurus. It runs good. Everything if fine. Has 125 k miles on it. One question the engine starts at cold temp(the engine temp. Gauge is at cold and then goes up to the highest point of normal- to the point it says 'N' and mostly remains at the same. Is that normal or some problem. Do I have to change the engine oil or anything? Any suggestions
