Does the fan spin freely ?
Is it getting power?

 

[j_boogeytc]

Yes it spins freely, no blockage if any sort! It getting power all the way to where the harnesses connect... Im thinkin maybe the little silver box on fan has a relay of sum sort?

does it start up shortly after you switch the AC on?

I was told that was a good test

I had the fan **** out on my 03 Marauder. I replaced it and it solved the problem.
Check the silver diode too. It prevents reverse current flow from the fan "windmilling", if you will.
Check your relays, and swap them out too, just to be sure.

Yup, my original fan died at about 210,000 miles. I bought one at the junkyard for $30 and no problem. They also have aftermarkets ones on ebay for around $70 shipped.

Go by your local auto parts store and have them run an OBDII diag to see what is broke. If it's he fan, it will show up.
