burning smell and smoke from radiator fan area

[cerhard]

So my stang is in the shop. Had it towed there today after it crapped out on me last night. I was pullin into the mall and smelt this weird burning smell and once i pulled into the parking lot i see smoke coming from the hood. Pop the lid and smoke is pouring from the top of the radiator/fan area. Any ideas? I also noticed my dash lights went a little dim just prior to the smoking when i pulled in.

I'd put my money that the electric fan motor burnt up, or you at least had some sort of short in that area.

just talked to the guys at the shop and they said its the fan and they also said that i had an idler pulley missing that was tearing up the belt...hopefully that fixies the problems
