Thanks, Pipe.
According to this video, you can get to it by removing the inner wheel well. You won't have to remove the bumper cover.

In this video Burner's high speed was working, so he determined that he had a bad ballast resistor. In your case, if NO speed works after you jump the pins, it could be bad wiring or a connection or it could be the motor. But I'd check the wiring first.

Here's another link that shows you how to access the fans:

Another fairly easy test is to see if the fan spins freely.
