Your vehicle is programmed to disable particular items when a fault occurs and this is one of them.
What you should be doing is taking the fan apart yourself. This is a very easy DIY.

Good to know. I guess all the modules are tied together and communicating faults and the like. I am used to diagnosing older BMW's I must admit... 
OP, perhaps your shop diagnosed your problems with software which told them the compressor was not engaging due to a failed aux fan. That would make sense.
