Same thing happened to me with my Focus earlier this summer.
What should happen is when the temp gauge goes into the red zone the high speed fans should automatically turn on, its supposed to be a built in safety feature.
Its the cooling fan "resistor". It sits in the fan shroud between the two fans. Chances are it also took out the harness pigtail with it.
FYI, I got hoofed at the Ford dealer on Eglinton there (in Scarborough) for both items, LIST price...with tax it came out to $150!
Im sure if you ask them to hook you up on a jobber discount, you will be good to go, as Ive gone back there other times for other things and told them to give me a jobber price since I work on my own cars. Usually I normally deal with the Ford dealer on Dufferin/Lawrence, since I used to deal with them before at my old workplace.
