Hi Kim,

I recently had something similar happen and discovered that one of the fan leads had been dragging slightly on the fan blades, worn through the insulation and shorted out. It could, also, be nothing more than a fuse which fatigued due to repeated heat cycles and finally died. Personally, I'd replace the fuse first, then pull the spare tire and inspect the wires into the fan motor. --

Best Regards, Jon
