The fan gets it's power by way of the thermo switch on the rad. It also
passes into the car's interior by way of the fuse box.

1. Check the fuse. (doh!)
2. Unplug the two wires going to the thermo switch, jumper them
together. Fan ON?
3. Verify 12v is coming in on one of those two wires.


hth,
TBerk

btw- It is possible to rewire the fan so that an inline fuse is in the
engine bay, and your wires run directly from the battery, through the
thermo switch and on to the fan.
