Default Auxilary Fan

Go Figure i install a new radiator a week or so ago when my car was off the road. I have driven it a week since it's been running again and now my auxilary fan craps the bed. WTF... I saw bavauto has the fan for $279 but just checked napa out and i can just get the fan motor for $159.

Has anyone ever done this b4 just chnage the motor to the fan?

Are you sure the motor is shot? Usually the resistor first craps out and your fan don't run in slow speed.
If the motor is bad, you can just replace the motor, just make sure the mounting and the shaft diameter are the same.

I backtracked everything, no fuses blown etc.. I jumped it and it still didn't turn on and to make sure i had powe i touched the wires together and it sparked so it tells me the fan is bad.

I wasn't sure about the motor as the only store to have it is Napa. Bmw sells the fan for 450 bucks which is totaly a rip off.
