Final Update:

We got AC again. Installed the new fan motor and turn on the AC to see if the fan would run. After about a minute the fan kicked in, but the best news is that the compressor is kicking in so we got AC again. I guess that if the fan is bad the DME prevents the AC from coming on.

Had some time so I decided to open up the old fan and find out why it wouldn't run. Remember my first post that when the genie comes out I knew from past experience that you can never get the genie to go back in, looks like there was a major fire in the genie little house. Germany engineering at it finest, take an old standby like a dc motor and upgrade it with SMD devices combine with pulse signals from the DME to control the speed of the fan and now you know why this fricking fan is 500 bucks plus 4 hours to install.
