So I was taking stuff apart on my car last night (stock intake, battery box, bumper, ect.) and i noticed that the person before me had dropped one battery tie down, down into the rad. The rod had managed to bind in between the rad and fan blade, causing the fan to not be able to rotate.

So my question is, would there be a better way to test the fan motor to see if its "burnt out?" Other than putting in the actual battery and balancing it in a way that the fan would still be visable?

Im just thinking that if that blade has been stuck for who knows how long, that the fan motor may have burnt up. Let me know what you guys think
