Default Fan relay, fan switch, or temp sensor?

Well here is my situation, I have narrowed it down to these 3 suspects of why my fan wont turn on.

My Fan relay or Fan Switch or Temperature sensor (Correct name?).

I don't want to spend 130bucks to buy all three, so what I am asking is how often does the fan relay burn out, the Fan Switch or temperature Sensor. The first time this had happened to me (Overheating) is during a crazy rain storm which lasted 4 days straight.

Any help at all would be great, thank you.

well if the temp gauge in the cluster works good its not that one. As for the others you should be able to jump the fan switch, just look it up somewhere

First, check the fuse for the cooling fan.. if thats good..
Then jump the fan switch, if the fan turns on, its the fan switch
If not, swap the relay with like the a/c relay, while the fan switch is jumped.
Did you hotwire the fan to the battery to make sure it works?

If not its the relay.

Yes, I did hot wire the fan and it works. I'm going to try to jump the fan switch this morning.
