Have you checked the fan relay? If the relay sticks often times the fan won't come on. The fan circuit is more than likely your issue. An easy way to check this is find the fan relay and in same fuse box locate an identical relay (sometimes headlights, horn, relays are the same) Swap the two relays and run the vehicle. If the fan comes on this is your issue. If not you may have an issue with the fan itself.
