Checked fuses and all seem okay What should I do next?

Not sure but the car most probably thinks the Cooling fan is inoperative and needs a reset or alternatively the fuse blew when the fan failed.
Was the motor o the old unit Seized? If so likely blown the fuse.
If the old motor was OK then maybe something more obscure like the controller.
Good luck.

THanks for the reply Snanceki.

The motor did seize, I cheked all the fuses on both sides under the hood and they all appear okay. I took a Volt meter to the plug for the fan and turned key on with defrost on thinking I should get a reading and nothing 0 volts. HOw do I reset it?
