You can see with a testlight or multimeter if the fan is recieving power from the factory wiring.

If not, There should be some fuses in the fusebox under the hood. check those.

You can test the fan motor itsself by running power and ground directly from the battery to the fan.

connect it to the battery and then to a ground of some sort and see if it goes on with a direct power source

i had this problem, just grab a toggle switch, use 2 sort of wires one from the toggle switch, to the power wire of the fan wire clip, and one straight to the battery

after replacing two switches and checking the fuse and fan motor, it still didn't work. must be some wirings. the car is too old to be doing the diagnosis so what i did is just connect it straight to ignition. now it works everytime i turn on ignition.
