The fan is connected to the water pump, probably need to replace that. Unless you're certain the ebrake worked before, probably not related. The 2 lights indicate a problem with the alternator I think. When the fan broke it may have damaged the alt or maybe a harness. Often the fan will mess up the radiator too, either punch a hole in it or bend a bunch of fins.Start the car and measure the voltage at the battery. Should be 13-15v.
