E34 Electrical Auxiliary Fanand the Haynes manual

[Mario Santos <msantos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
	I just found out that my auxiliary fan has frozen up, from the looks of 
it, it seems to have been frozen for quite a while since I'm not able to 
budge it in either direction.  What gave it away was the rise in engine 
temperature when in idle, more so when I had the AC on.  To make a long 
story short, I used the Haynes manual as a reference to remove the fan 
which I figured should only take about 30 minutes. What the manual doesn't 
tell you is that you literally have to remove the front bumper in order to 
remove the fan. This would not have been so bad had I known that from the 
beginning! However, with the little information provided by the Haynes 
manual, it took me almost two hours to finally figure it out.

	My questions are where can I obtain a replacement auxiliary, either OEM or 
after-market at a reasonable cost.
Also can anyone tell me where the two thermal sensors (low/high speed fan 
switches) are located.

Thanks
Mario
