Only 4 minutes after posting the request for help, you got a quality response (good chance it is the correct one also). No "thank you" for Blades or cheezit yet ??? .......... If I had a pos, I believe I would be very quick w/ the appreciation to those helping to get it fixed!

as I said before check the fan clutch if the wires are cut repalce the water pump. if the wires to the fin are good remove the upper shround on the steering collum and check the wires to the gear shift handle.

there is an issue with end shaft play the cause the fan to wobble and cut the wires. the wobble has been know to happen at only certin temps. normally when hot. testing the pump when cold often leads to no problem found with the pump.
the other option is that the stator (inner shround) is damaged and not retining the connector correctly.
