Default fan or control module

the fan stopped
so I went to buy a fan, in the spare part company I discovered that it comes in 2 part fan and control module. and both are expensive
the fan dose not start even with AC on, so how can I determine if which is faulty?

I am planing of testing the terminal of the fan for short circuit or open one, is this ok?

any idea

usually if the fan fails they tend to kinda lock up and that usually blows the fuse. Its under the hood in the fuse box by the battery, its a 60amp one. If that isnt blown and you can spin the fan by hand and it doesnt drag then i would lean toward the module (its next to the fan on the shroud) but would get a wiring diagram and confirm it. If it is blown then suspect the fan motor and replace the fuse. Good luck, paul

ok opened the module I didn't see any thing burned, it seem's that I will go for the module first and see, since the jan rotate freely and as I know that fans don't tent to get faulty very easy.

any Idea?

CHECK YOUR FAN GROUNDS. there have been some one here that have experienced a bad ground leading to fan problems. check ALL connectors. you probably have a lot of fan time due to the heat you are in. good luck

Try disconnecting the fan, then put 12volts to it directly from the battery. If it runs, it's OK.
