Hey everyone,

I finally found out why the car was running hot. Basically the fuse terminal that the wiring harness connects to was blown (likely by a bad relay), and the fan would only work intermittently because of the poor connection. I have replaced the relay and cleaned the terminal up as much as possible, but the terminal sits very low in the housing as a result of it being blown. It is low enough to where I feel like it can eventually disconnect from the relay again and the fan to end up doing the same thing. From what I have researched, this is not uncommon. I do not want to buy a whole new fuse box from Ford for $600. Can someone please let me know how I can repair this? Have any of you experienced this? If so, please let me know what your solution was.

Thanks!
