## What is wrong

Certain Taurus and Sable vehicles with 3.0 liter and 3.8 liter engines and 1995 model year Mustang vehicles with 3.8 liter and 5.0 liter engines. The engine cooling fan motor bearings, can result in increased motor torque and higher than normal motor current with accompanying high motor temperatures. Overheating of the cooling fan motor due to excessive current can result in smoke and odors.  This condition can cause smoke or flames from the fan and/or shroud, the fan electrical wiring, or the fan motor resulting in a vehicle fire. Correction: dealers will install an electrical jumper harness containing an automatic resetting circuit breaker to protect the fan motor low speed circuitry from overheating.
