I have a '96 Taurus, 3.0 liter engie, 150,000 miles and the battery keeps dying because the cooling fan doesn't shut off. If their is a quick fix I sure would appreciate it! I have no manual because I bought the car used. Thanks in advance, Brad

Look at the relay box and find the aux fan relay.

Also if those are good disconnect the coolant temp sending unit, does that turn the fan off? If so have it checked.

Usually mounted near radiator. Follow wires from fan motor.

Thanks amigo! I just read in another site that it was probably the Constant Control Relay Module. I went out and found it attached to the battery box and gave it a few raps. The fan shut off so I guess the relay was stuck. Off to the Ford Dealership to get another I guess. Thanks again for your help!
