If it came on at the lower temp (194), the fan would come on, temps would drop to 193 and the fan would shut off. Then 3 seconds later the temp would hit 194 again and the fan would come on. Yo-Yo fan.
Yeah, I saw that on the diagram and always thought those on and off numbers were the OEM switch. I didn't draw up the diagram, I copied it from a thread on the other forum years ago. It's highly likely that my memory stinks...or that my ADD has played it's tricks on me and that info you just picked out is perfectly accurate and I've been chasing a ghost in terms of the on switch.

The good news is the car is home, I had no issues with it. I'm going to test a few things tomorrow morning. See if my alternator might be failing and simply not up to the task of that hog of a Taurus fan.
