Default Taurus Electric Fan

I now have my TPI installed. Now I have to get rid of the fan on the water pump. I put a Ford Taurus fan in my 68 & it fit like it was made for it. The problem is I don't remember what year Taurus it was from. Would anybody know what would fit the best ?

I believe 87 to 93 with a 3.8 liter will have a 2 speed fan.

If I had it to do again, I would look into that one or the Focus dual fan also.

I am running the 2 speed Taurus fan. Works great and cools great. I wired mine where the low speed is controlled by a thermostat. and the high speed is on a toggle switch Use relays, do not wire directly.

Do some searching. I cannot remember the wiring diagram I used, but make sure if you wire the high speed to be controlled by a toggle switch, that there is a relay that shuts off the low speed.

Why not have the TPI ECM control at least the low speed of the fans?
