I cleaned and inspected all connections for good measure, and she's been fine ever since. I'll post any findings when I change the coolant. _________________________ Renamed to "Gassy Grandma" (has dual fuel gas/LPG): '02 Mercury Grand Marquis LS, Silver Frost, : runs, drives and currently with mods in progress.

That way, you won't need to replace the whole fan assembly. _________________________ Lucifer: '01 Grand Marquis GS Convenience Tuned By Marty @ Mo's Speed Shop In Memory of Ned Nuss, Rick Richardson and Matt (2vmodular)

Actually, the same resistor with a different first 4-character segment of the P/N, is used in radiator fans of many Euro Ford models. It looks the same, and the remainder of the P/N is identical. I am guessing that the first 4 characters have something to do with the region/OEM installing company, or whatnot. _________________________ Renamed to "Gassy Grandma" (has dual fuel gas/LPG): '02 Mercury Grand Marquis LS, Silver Frost, : runs, drives and currently with mods in progress.

So yes, can be similar just for another vehicle, and there is code for replacement parts. Doesn't mean they are the same though, because the middle number is usually same across platforms for same general part, and then the revision at the end means many things. _________________________ 00 Grand Marquis LS Premium - 97 Cougar 4.6 Sport - 89 Cougar LS - 63 Falcon 302 - 82 F-150 - 97 Mark VIII LSC - 2017 Escape SE - 2012 Fusion Sport AWD
