    I did some research and found that late 90's Contours came from the factory with a 40 amp relay for the low speed fan and a 70 amp relay for the high speed fan.

    Also, BMW used two dual temp switches that would work. They have two to chose from depending what temp you want to work:
    80 / 88* C (176/190*F) dual temp switch Part # 61318361787
    91 / 99* C (195/210*F) dual temp switch Part # 61311378073

    No need to track down aftermarket parts.

    the...dual temp switches...make sure they turn the low side off when turning the high side on...when used with relays on a Taurus fan swap :yup:
