Just a guess, but does the idiot light on the dash illuminate when the second
radiator fan comes on? If not, perhaps somebody disconnected it.
Originally that light was fuctional (drew power from a wire going from the
second fan relay), but idiot American drivers interpreted the amber 'fan' light
as a warning light that they were about to overheat. The Lincoln-Mercury
solution was to disconnect the light! Later cars (L-models) had the light in
the gauge but there was never any wire for it. Annoying!
