Am not sure how the E420 system works. Do you have dual fans, one not working and supposed to work only on high temperature, or both fans operate at two speeds dependent on temperature. The possibilities for a non-operating fan are: dead electric fan, poor/loose wiring contact, bad temperature sensor, bad fan control switch.... Check that the fan itself is in order and if so the culprits would be the rest.
