Hello to group. Yesterday on the way home sitting in traffic car started boiling water. steaming out through the overflow reservoir cap, only a lil till i let the cap open a tad. pulled over let it cool and spew coolant for 30 min or so. when i first popped the hood the fan was not running. though i didnt let it continue to run long. after i got it home i checked the fan again, still it was not running. untill i got to work today, driving the heep, i did some research. though i do need to go home tonight and do some testing for other scenarios. i read about the CCRM. thought....well ill check on the price just to see. i was told that they were only used in the DOHC application? huh? yep thats what he said. this was info from a local ford parts deparment. just to make sure im following the right trouble shooting procedure. is there a CCRM in a 2003 SOHC 281?

Yes, you have a CCRM. Check your cooling fan fuse, there should be fuse diagrams all over the internet.

If your fuse is good, check the connector at the fan motor with a voltmeter if you have one, with the engine hot.
