aux fan failure confirmation

[Bottomfeeder]

I had to replace the one in my 2002 3.0 in 2022. I replaced it with a Mahle Behr unit which was not cheap then, but has gone up around $200 since. Currently $555.99 at FCP Euro. Ouch. If I were doing it again, I might have to consider something like the Topaz.

FWIW, when my auxiliary fan went, the AC stopped working altogether. I also pulled it from the bottom, which required removing the outer bumper panel. Definitely not a super fun job.
