Well, the low coolant light could have been on if the heater core was leaking coolant.If the heater core was replaced and the radiator is now full of coolant, the low coolant light should be off.The radiator fan can run for a minute after the engine stops to make sure the engine does not overheat. This can be a normal event for some models as long as it does not run for more that 3 or 4 min.What kind of idle problem ??

Could be a few thing's , relay sticking ( contacts inside burnt ) intermittant short on the ground wire ,does the vehicle have a content theft system alarm ? could be a input problem to the GEM - generic electronic control module . Looking at a wiring diagram to see what all is involved in the control of the horn an using a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter to test the electrical circuits . Do you know how to do that ? Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free-tsb Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on interior & driver amenity ,then under subsystem click on horn .I see the RAP module not GEM module for alarm system . Your best bet mite be to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop . If you do not know how to test the electrical circuits .

is it just the normal operation sound of the ac pump cutting in?

when u put the fan on different speeds, does the noise change w the speed? maybe the fan itself?

Look for cracked and gummy vacuum hoses. It's time to see if any are in this condition or disconnected entirely.

Check B+ voltage to the injectors ! Injectors may not be firing . Also check the CCRM constant control relay module . This module has relay's inside for the fuel pump , cooling fans , PCM power relay.

If the blower motor has a problem, check voltage and ground circuit. In the diagram, top wire for blower motor is voltage, the bottom wire is ground. If good voltage and ground, then suspect the blower motor has a problem. You can see the fuse and circuit breaker, not only check them, use a test light and voltage on the circuits. Your blower resistor and control assembly are on the ground circuit, you can bypass those to see if problem on ground circuit? I know I didn't answer your question, but, I don't know what testing you have done?

Under your hood you will be looking for a main fuse block. It is a small, fairly accesible block that is about 8" x 4". The box will have tabs on it that have pull or push printed into the plastic. Do as read, and pop cover off. Only problem with the wonderful world of Ford (Mercury is made by Ford) is they never index the location of the fuses and relays. Either way...the relay is under that panel. Without a diagragm you can check by having someone turn the car over to the "start" position and put your hand over the relays until you feel the one that clicks at the time of cranking. Don't let the clicking of the fuel pump relay fool you....that will click when the key is in the "on" position

the fan not shutting off could be a wiring problem, blown relay or an issue with the connectors. But no, it would not cause the tach to stop working. They run on completely separate systems.

Does the car have ABS ? And does it have an equalizer block for the 4 wheels ?It sounds like the ABS has been affected, or there is an equalizer block that is stuck on the front wheels only. Can you open the bleeder or the rear line on the master cyl and get fluid to come out by depressing the pedal ?

Could be a clog in valve body where the shift solenoids are located. Be careful, it contains metal balls that have to go into the right spot. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/steven_a67ead41eb5fc62a

low oil level or bad sending unit. usually not a weak oil pump but very high mileage engines can have low oil pressure. (this, however is a very gradual drop from normal wear in bearings and not the typical cause for oil warning light).
