well i bought my hatch about a month ago and the guy i bought it from had the electric fan hard wired so it runs constinently. He did this after his wife hit something on the freeway and the fan wouldnt work anymore. I plugged the factory plug back in and let the car run, sure enough it started to overheat. Can anyone give me any ideas?

 

bump for suggestions

 

does the fan start at all? check the fuse?
