ok well i have been having issues with the fan going on and off so i finaly got the energy to investigate further well i went to unplug the connector that goes to the fan ,and this was installed inbetween it now i have no idea what it is what its for.i went to the auto parts store to see if i could get another one because one of the contacts are burnt.but it looked like that someone has installed this aftermarket wise.now it looked like the wireing harness was rerouted a diff. way so i was able to rerout it so i could actually plug dirrectly to the motor of the fan and everything seams to work just fine.(so the plug plugs into this and then it plugs into the fan.) ...
damit i cant post the pic and i am having trouble resizing it .......ok i think i got 2 of them
WTF is this ?

You got it, that is the Circuit Breaker from the recall. I have seen a few of them go out here and there. Good job on the troubleshooting though......

did that plug directly into the fan motor, then the wire into it? If so, my car doesnt have that, just a plug off the harness directly into the fan

Keep it lubed .... keep it straight .... and keep
Since it was a recall that failed (again), I'd call Ford & see. IMO, they should replace it free of charge.

humm I don't remember seeing that on mine. Hope my fan don't overheat with the car sitting in my driveway 
i think i am going to go by there tom. and see if they will replace it free of course. thing is that thing is so dam bulky and attaches right to the fan that it actually puts a lot of weight on it ackwardly i think thats why it shorted out and burnt one of the leads.well if they replace free i will put it on and maybe tie wrap it to take soem strain off of it.if not back the way it was made originaly i guess...oh yea on a side note if anyone needs a o.e.m key fob(alarm transmiter) let me know i work for a place that makes them for ford.

keep an eye on your temp gauge. when i had mine recall done the fan would turn off and never turn back on so i just took mine off. havent had any problems for 3 years. (fan related problems that is)
As an FYI (since this thread is attracting people with fan issues), I got sick of the fan stuff and went with a variable fan controller (from Brian Baskin at DcControl.com ) and the thing absolutely rocks.
It's totally variable - Mine's set to keep the car at 187*F (my stat is fully open at 183*F). The controller ramps up the fan speed as needed (or slows down if the car begins to cool off). No more of the on at one temp and off at another - the controller works on maintaining one temp (which is adjustable via jumpers or an optional rheostat - I got the rheostat so I could fine tune things from the cockpit).
It's a super slick unit if anyone gets fed up with the stock stuff.
