Jump the connector for the fan switch on the thermostat housing. The fan should now run continuously. If so, replace the switch. Also top off and bleed the cooling system.

I bet you have a bad fan switch by the thermostat. If you short it, and the fan comes on its the fan temperature sensor. If it doesn't come on, your fan is dead.

power straight to the fan, if the fan kicks on, your switch needs to be replaced....the switch is located @ the thermostat housing. If you do not know where that is, take your car to a mechanic.

We can tell him where its at, we dont need to send him to a mechanic. If were going to have that attitude might as well tell everyone in the tech section to take it to a mechanic.
OP: It looks like this:
It is near the lower radiator hose that connects to the motor. There will be a harness connected to it.
Im sure you can get a replacement at any auto parts store. I dont know the exact size, but im GUESSING its probably a 21mm. It shouldnt be on super tight, so you shouldnt have much problem taking it off.
