I have 2 fans on my Jeep. One is belt driving and one is electric. The electric fan is not working and needs to be replaced. The new fans are around $200 and am not able to afford that price till the end of September. Can I buy a used one from a auto salvage?

I believe the electric fan only turns on when the AC is on, or to supplement the mechanical fan when it's not enough to keep the engine cool. Make sure it's actually failed by checking while the AC is on.

A failed fuse or relay may cause the fan to not function.

Locally the fan is available for anywhere between 25-110$, so it can be replaced for considerably less than 200$. If you don't regularly use your AC and are not having any overheating issues (assuming a warmer climate), replacing it doesn't need to be a priority.
