Keep the cooling fan switching on when your engine needs it with the Standard Ignition Engine Cooling Fan Motor Relay RY-183. This electromechanical relay controls the electrical circuit that powers the cooling fan motor, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1983 Ford LTD and 1983 Mercury Marquis (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details).
A relay uses a low-current signal to switch the higher-current fan circuit; when it fails, the fan may not run, may run constantly, or may cycle erratically — signs this part may need replacing. If a failed cooling fan relay is the cause of your fan problem, this unit restores the switching function.
