Need Rad Fan, keeps blowing #3 fuse

[x030399]

1984 944

My driver's side rad fan keeps melting fuse #3, even though it spins freely. Must assume the motor is bad, but 386 DOLLARS for new fan motors????

No thanks.

The passenger fan works fine, but anybody have ideas on non-Porsche, non-Pelican replacement options, short of rummaging through a junk yard?

wait for a reply-from what I've read and seen recently, our cars are dying rapidly and just for sale by the roadside and in barns many to be parted out...

I purchased one from www.apartabove.com last autumn. He pulls them from cars he's parting out. I think it only cost me $35.00 to upgrade from my failed 3 blade to a good, used 6 blade. It's been working without issue ever since.

I've got a 6 blade unit off an '89 S2 w/ only 61 K on it.
$75+ S&H if interested...

smlporsche, sent you a pm.

If your unit will fit a 1984 944 radiator, then I'm interested. I just want to make sure it's a one-for-one swap of the existing radiator fan assembly, don't want to do a lot a "cutting and pasting" to make it fit. Otherwise, I'll just try to find a "drop in" replacement, or, less appealingly, replace the bad motor itself.
