jump the fan switch on the thermostat housing with a paper clip...if you fan comes then you have a bad temp switch. my two cents.

On the thermostat housing there is a 2 wire switch. Thats the fan switch, if you unplug and jumper it the fan will turn on.

Not that it cant happen, but Ive never seen a fan switch go bad. Gets hot really fast, and no fan is most likely a headgasket.
