Do you have the part and cost of the fan that you replaced ?

Unfortunately, the only fix for the AC condenser fan motor is to replace the unit with the same. AC fan motor receive a signal from the DME and sends back a signal to the DME to tell that it is working. Without this sophisticate communication, between the two, the DME will think that the fan motor is broken so it will not engage the compressor. I just replaced mine and the AC is blowing ice cold again.

not a big deal. All components are reachable from the top.
I did recommend to change that if you have close to 100k miles for sure.

You guys should add your mileage for prospective. It would help other get an idea about when they should expect to attempt these things.
