have you jumped the wires at the fan switch on the back of the block to see if the fan then comes on? if it does, then the switch is bad. if it doesn't, then the issue is either with the relay, or wiring leading to it.

here's how to test it


if it doesn't, relay is defective.


and this is where it's located
