Electric Cooling Fan Issue...

I was going to take advantage of the warmer weather here in Denver and remove the cooling fan. I do not have a new one yet.
Questions and concerns:
I assume, being that the fuse is blown as well, that there is no power going to fan.
I will not cause some electrical circuit issue by removing it and driving.
Can these fan motors return to life with a good cleaning and oil? Curious if anyone has tried. Is it a sealed unit?
Part of the reason for removing it... is to have a day for attempting what may be the impossible...cooling fan resurrection, before ordering a new one.

Figured resurrection was a serious long shot.
By installing a couple universal fans, was there any wiring and mounting issues you came across? Assume you can connect your old plug to the universal wires and wire them in series?
I am one that will more than likely just go back to the stock set up.. plug and play.
Do you see any cooling gains with the 2 fans? Or just piece of mind- which can be even more important sometimes.
Have not researched this yet.

there is a post a few months back i did with pictues, it as real easy. I used 2 pieces of 1/4 x 11/2 in aluminum stock from home depot across the top and bottom, I drilled them to match bolts that were already exiting.
Then I mounted the fans directly to the alumium strapping, total cost was less than $75.00.
I wired them (2 wires) into the existing power source for now, I was going to put a seperate switch on one motor, but decided more comstant air was more valuble than having a spare fan.
