rad fan toast

My rad fan died today causing the cooling system to overheat and spill out. Strange though the temp guage never moved from normal. The stealership wants $600 for a new one. First the fan relay died and now the rad fan itself. What could be causing them both to go out?

Built up mud on the electric motor brushes is your cause.

$275 for the fan/motor here---http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getLocator&siteid=213794&chapter=DP3043&appSectionid=8&groupid=20035&subgroupid=60539&make=17&model=Liberty&year=2002&catalogid=1---and takes a few min to replace yourself.

Thanks. I already took out the old fan. Did not see any mud. But could the fan have caused the relay to go out too? I just don't want to buy another fan and have it die on me too.
