Extruder fan doesn't work

I've got everything set up, but the extruder fan doesn't turn on at 50C. I set the nozzle temp to 60C to test the connections so nothing will break. The fan itself gets warm (I unscrewed the fan from the extruder so it isn't heat from the nozzle) but nothing moves. I managed to get a multimeter on the exposed wires entering the fan and got a voltage to register so i think the problem is inside the fan itself. Any advice how I should fix this or where I could buy a replacement fan?

I solved it while laying in bed. The connector was backwards. The clippy part of the connector goes against the outside of the square part on the board of the adjacent fan connector. The clippy side of the connector faces towards the giant capacitor.

Yes, this way the connector is secured 🙂
