Well obviously it keeps your car from overheating and keeps your A/C working in tip top shape! If it was making a noise it may be going bad...

What fan are you talking about? The one mounted behind the radiator and A/C coil. That's your primary cooling fan. Without it you will overheat within minutes unless you are travelling at highway speeds.

Why did you find a need to disconnect it?

Sounds like you are talking about the power steering fan since you have a 1st generation model.

Try that forum.

This is in the wrong forum. We don't have a little fan.
