Under what circumstances does it overheat, does it show any evidence of overheating apart from a high reading?

Fan won't run renewed sensor, pressure cap, checked operation of two relays,called AA out they couldn't help said temp gauge in dash was reading normal but their computer was reading 100degrees and fan should be running said it might be ECU or broken wire but I could drive it home with the heater on I bought a Haynes manual and it shows 3 relays on models with AC which mine has but I can only find 2 the third one seems to be Engine management relay but I can't find it.
If I connect wires to the fan direct from the battery the fan runs ok and the car doesn't overheat.
Regards Mick.

Thank you, that information gives an idea where your problem is, its obviously an electrical fault but I personally don't have any experience of your car, there may be someone on here who does but you would probably be better off on a Ford specific forum.
