   I finally traced out my car's unwillingness to turn the fan on and as 
near as I can tell it's the fan itself.  I think that's good news 
because the prospect of tearing enough out of engine bay to get at the 
harness and the back of the fuse block was daunting.
   My question for all of you is this:  should I replace the fan with 
the OEM part ($189 from Blau) or go with something aftermarket?  I know 
that I can get generic fans from Jegs for a lot less than $189, but can 
they be wired up to run at three different speeds and do they flow 
enough air to keep the car cool (it's an OEM radiator and the car still 
has the aux rad in it).  Also, the idea of having a fan that takes up a 
little less space sounds okay to me to.
   Any advice you guys could pass on would be great.
