95 Sable 3.0L Overheating

Changed sensor, same problem. Fan motor is a 3 wire motor. 2 speed
motor. Never get power to the blue motor wire. Both speeds work when
connected to battery. 40a fuse is good. Is there a relay somewhere?
Thanks.

Yes there is. It's called a CCRM on a Taurus, but I'm not sure where it
is, but probably mounted just below radiator. About the size of a brick,
with cooling fins.

OK, found it. Geeeez, how do you trouble shoot that thing. Can the
dealer test it if I take it in? Looks too expensive to buy just to
try. Thanks.

That's where the Factory Service manual comes in handy. It will take you through all
of the steps to pinpoint a failed CCRM. The dealer can't "test" it off the car. The
whole thing has to go "to the shop" to figure it out, unless you have the factory
manuals and can read, understand, and use them. If the "low " fan runs, it's usually
not the CCRM.
