Get it hot and shut it off.If the fan turns easily it may be bad.You should also hear a "roar" from the fan when hot.
I just had to replace mine in my velle and my truck.
Seems like every year or two they go bad.

Like Keith said ,take your old one with you ,they didn't have a problem with the velle, but I had to go back twice for the truck, and it's a 91 GMC!. Mark

Our last fight was my fault: My wife asked me "What's on the TV?"
I said, "Dust!"

What i found is that if you start it up and get it warm and shut it off the fan should stop with the engine.
