Default radiator fan won't work, what could be the problem?

i tested the plug and there was about 8.5 volts comin from it, is that enough to run the fan? i did cut one of the wires to test something and i think when i tried to put em back together the connection got weaker, could this be the problem? it kept blowing the 15amp fuse so i put a 20 in it for now.

yea i know it's a bad idea but i can't find out what the hell is wrong, i checked the plug again today and its got 12.23 volts to it but the fan still won't come on, and yes the fan does work.

im thinking its a bad fan switch, whatever that thing on the back of the block is. I got tired of mine and just wired it to a switch inside the car. Was a good decision IMO, especially at the track, I can just leave the fan running while im cooling down.
