Radiator fan not working

Just recently purchased my second X5, 07 model and being the cooler weather I did not notice the AC was not cooling. Yes I have been through the endless climate program, lol, but to no avail, even have the AC light and MAX AC on. It appears the compressor is not kicking ether. Searching for this issue led me to check the coolant fan as I am to understand it will come on anytime the AC is turned, well it is not turning either. So hopefully someone can shed light on this as far if there is a relay or fuse to check. I best to start with the more critical cooling fan in case it could be the root cause of my AC problem

I seemed to have found the problem. I removed the plug to the fan itself and verified there was voltage to the fan, which there was, telling me I need a new fan. No to thrilled with the price of close to 700 dollars for a new, considered replacing with an aftermarket for the time being till I could shop around more. Shame of all this is BMW seems to think engine temperature is not important to a driver, now I have never had any kind of warning that it overheated with no fan(can not say for previous owner), so it seems to have been able to handle the engine heat with no fan. No as I said i was considering installing an aftermarket fan so off to town I go when I hear quite bit louder noise as I start up. Now I have seen the post of people complaining of the noise of these fans but it was music to my ears, it seems unplaugging and replugging the connector back must have cleaned the connections and I have a working fan. So I hope this helps anyone else out there
