I was driving home today and I noticed the temp gauge claiming. I got home the temp needle was on the higher side of the gauge but was not in the red. I figured out that it was a loose cooling fan fuse that was causing the cooling fans no to come on. The temp would only rise when I would slow down (air no moving over rad) I hope there was no damage done. What do you guys think? Do you think that I am okay? What would you do?

The resistor that controls the low speed fan is burned out in mine. The part is on backorder so Ford must be having a problem with these. I lowered the temp for the high speed fan until I can get a replacement.

I just had an issue with my radiator, I was driving home the other day and i notice that my temp guage is over the H. My car started bogging out so i had it towed to the dealership. They said i had a bad radiator, so i got a new one put on the next day under warranty. Try making sure you have a good radiator because the dealer said that was a common problem.

Where is everyones temp sitting?

Mine is just on the low side of the halfway point. I'm assuming it is normal. It is pretty consistent and my temp up here in Portland has been from the 40's to the mid 70's the last few weeks.
