Jay,

If you feel reasonably capable of getting the fan off of the motor axle, 
you can replace the motor alone for $71.74 USD plus shipping.
AutohausAZ.com has part 0130111001

I replaced the one in my SD by placing a couple pieces of wood on either 
side of the motor, resting the fan on them.  Then using a punch and a 
dead blow hammer, I carefully tapped the shaft of the motor out of the 
hub of the fan.
Re-installation was the reverse, placing the fan hub face down on a 
board, and using a punch to push on the other end of the motor axle to 
press it back into the fan hub.


I hope this helps some,
