Yea - but you don't say if the radiator fan is coming on, when the temp guage goes up high, and it is supposed to do so
Look at the engine end of the upper radiator hose
The coolant temperature sensor on an 89 Taurus with a 3.8L V-6 is located directly above the thermostat, where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine. the sensor is positioned vertically and has 2 wires coming off of it.
Look in a removable housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose
It could be your thermostat how is the fluid in your radiator?

The temperature of the water will vary on any vehicle with speed, including on the Taurus. The more an engine runs, the higher the water temperature will be in the radiator. If the radiator is overheating, then there could be a malfunction with a temperature sensor, a leaky hose, or damage to the radiator.
its under the car on the passenger side on the engine side of the radiator. its a inline thermostat
I am not completely familiar with the Taurus, but if you follow the top radiator hose (thick one) back to the engine block, the housing should be located at the point where this hose meets the block. The thermostat is located here inside the Thermostat Housing.
you may have an overcooling problem. check your thermostat and temperature switch. the thermostat regulates fluid in and out of the radiator, and the switch tells the fans to come on to cool the engine.
Next to the thermostat housing.
the thermostat is located under the car in the front on the passanger side. look there and you will see the radiator hose leading to it.
