94-95 5.0 Engine Harness
I bought a 94 GT and noticed that the cooling fan wiring connector was burnt (RED). Drove down to the Junkyard and that connector was burnt, same place same wire. So I just ordered a new harness on EBay and yes that too was burnt. Is this a sign that the Cooling fan is Bad? I drove this car in the Winter and started building the motor this summer so I never notice the engine overheating. I found a replacement connector online. Its just a shame that 3 different harnesses are burnt the same way.

Yeah sure. High resistance to ground or a half shorted power feed could burn up some wires, and CCRM's aren't exactly known for their reliability in those years. I'm not saying its definitively the cause, but it's a start.
At the same time, a fan motor that draws too much power could do it too, so really it's a toss up between the two. The fact that you see it on 3 separate cars shows that its a common issue, so I'd say do some googling on the subject. I haven't seen that here.
