I'll have my son fire up the car, while I'll be watching the fan and get back to you.

As you understand, I try to be sure that it is the fan that is bad, before I come up with 500$ that the parts guy wants for it, in Ukraine (I don't even want to think of what BMW Greece would want for the fan)
I certainly endorse wanting to be sure before buying parts 100%.

I think the voltage check eliminates the fuse. I always check for voltage then pull the fuse to see if there is still voltage--don't look for logic. It always makes me feel like I won't be back checking for some reason I find out later.
