My ‘89 Taurus radiator fan does not move and the car overheats. What might be the root of the problem?

I keep the car running by adding water and coolant, but oftentimes the plastic tank becomes full. The car (1989 Ford Taurus GL) is beginning to have a knocking sound on the passenger side. There is some kind of fluid (condensed water maybe?) coming not from the tailpipe, but somewhere before it gets to that point. Could the problem be the thermostat? I want to know how I can fix the problem myself. Help!

I have a 1997 ford taurus gl that has the manual headlight control (when you have to turn the lights on manually) and i noticed some models have autolamp. Is there a possibility you can swap out a manual headlight control to an autolamp one? If you can does it require extra wiring? Thanks for your answers.

When do I use d2 in Ford Taurus 1994?

I am driving Ford Taurus GL (1994) on D1. It has D2 too. I have never used it so far. When do I use it?

Also, I can't figur out why its Antilock light it on. The car is running good, I havent noticed any problem with it, but this light is worrying me.

Thank you.

1997 Ford Taurus Pulls to right under acceleration?

I have a 1997 Ford Taurus GL and it pulls to the right when I accelerate. I recently had it aligned. This has been an ongoing issue and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. So far I have heard that it may be a wheel bearing getting ready to go, tie rod end, and struts.
