Why is the water in car radiator rusty?
the water in your radiator is rusty because your antifreeze/water ratio is not correct. Antifreeze serves two important functions: protecting the cooling system at temperature extremes and inhibiting rust and corrosion in the system. When your antifreeze/water ratio is not correct Rust and sediment can accumulate in the cooling system. This can eventually clog your cooling system mainly your radiator and cause your car to overheat, and more serious problems with the over heating. I would suggest flushing your system and adding the correct antifreeze/water ratio mixture. Doing this your self or having it done by proffessional.
Why do the fans turn on when you slow down in your Lincoln LS?
If you are referring to the radiator fans, it is because the engine collant is heating up. It is not uncommon for an engine to heat more when driving slowly as less air moves through the radiator and over the engine. If you are concerned about it or the engine temp climbs above the halfway mark on your guage, change the thermostat. If this does not correct it, you should have the engine scoped by a certified mechanic.

What is a radiator flush?
The radiator tends to clog up after many years of operation. This causes poor coolant circulation and over heating of the engine. Flushing the radiator will clean this out and restore its cooling capability. Doing it yourself is a messy job but it can be done. You need to collect the old antifreeze also as it is toxic. Buy a radiator flush solvent and just follow the instructions on the container. Hope this is helpful

Your 86 kawasaki 454 ltd is still over heating after you changed the radiator thermostat and fan?
does the fan even turn on? my bike was over heating because i broke the fan switch on the bottom of the radiator. i ground the wire too the frame and the fan turned on and cooled the radiator down. note the fan will still run if u turn your bike off . so what i did was loosen the switch which also drains the radiator. and soldered a wire on the center pin and reinstalled it . replaced the antifreeze and now the bike runs great.
