you dont want to just disconnect it, as that fan is for the interior temp sensor for the climate control.

I agree, it's a fan to draw air from the cabin in over the temperature sensor. You cannot replace just the fan you need to replace the whole unit which costs upwards of $300. You might find some very careful dismantling and cleaning might solve the problem.
