Anyone know what this things called or if i even need it? It plugs into my radiator fan and the harness into the back of it. Seems like a resistor slows the fan alot, when i remove it fan runs full speed. But no parts store seem to be able to find it.

That was a resistor that was installed as part of a recall 2 dozen years ago. The factory fans were catching fire if the bearing seized in the fan. So Ford's solution was to install.......this thing. Not many people participated in the recall. Fan fires are not very common. I would go out on a limb and say that if you installed a new fan, and deleted that thing, you would probably be fine.

Thank you Kurt, im ordering a new fan and replacement plug the clips were all broken so nows the best time to fix it all
I’ve never actually seen a sn95 that had that plug, but they are out there.
Like Kurt said, just replace it with the regular factory version. I’ve also seen spade connectors used, but obviously the plug is a better option if you can go that route.
If you do splice in a new pigtail, just make sure you use good quality connectors and crimp or solder them properly as those fans take a very good bit of current to operate.

Was a big problem most people probably forgot about by now. Covered many models not just Mustangs too.
