The engine cooling fan stopped on my nieces 95 Taurus. It turns freely by hand tho, and has three wires going to it. Don't have a wiring diagram. Need some suggestions for quick checks of likely problem areas on this model. Thanks in advance. Macy
Is it overheating? I believe that unit has a two speed fan. If the fan is ok, it could be a relay module above the radiator. Or, the computer could not be giving the signal to turn it on.
You would need to know if the fan has voltage when the motor is hot.

Yes, the car was overheating and I noticed the fan off at that time. I have now checked the continuity thru fan with ohmeter..it was good and
50 amp fan fuse was good. No 12v at fan, after running engine about 3or4 m>
There is a long plastic cover above the radiator. Take it off. Below that cover is a module that has a screw in the middle of its wiring connector. This is the relay module (CCRM i believe it called) It controls the fans as well as the fuel pump and a few other things.
The cars main computer is behind the glove box facing the fire wall.
