My car has the dual fans, which are working for the most part. However, one of them makes a squeaking noise sometimes, like the bearing is going out. Also, they seem to be drawing too much current, the fan relay wires are getting warm, and already toasted one fan relay. I'm guessing that the brushes in at least one of the motors are worn out, causing an intermittent short. Anyways, I know I could just replace the fans with ones off ebay, but I don't see the point in spending 100+ dollars on fans that will be just as old as mine. I also hate to replace them with aftermarket ones unless I have to. Does anyone sell just the replacement motors?

 

Update, it looks like autozone/oreilly's sell them, for $24.99 each, in case anyone else is curious.

 

Well, the OEM fans finally crapped out. Last night I was driving and I guess they finally drew too much current. Both were making a squeaking sound like the bearings were shot, the passenger side one was especially bad. I had replace the fusible link near the battery with a fuseholder and 30A fuse, and it literally melted in half. I replaced both fan motors today, as well as the fuseholder, and all is well again. The 24.99 autozone fans definitely are the right ones:

Also, in case anyone is curious, I checked the current draw from both fans across the fuseholder, and it settles out around 14A. It does spike above 20 (multimeter only goes to 20A) when they first come on, but settles after a second or so. I'm gonna try a 25A fuse now and see if that holds.
