First do fans turn on when a/c is on? If not check items in pic. Then if still not working have a mechanic see if relay is getting signal from thermal switch on tstat housing and pcm. If it is then it maybe a fuse box problem where it's not making good contact with relay. See pic.

I f you are jumping the fan switch on tstat housing then it's either a connection problem or the switch isn't getting up to temp to work. It may be a bad ground as well going to the switch. Also check radiator for cold spots, if you feel any then the radiator is no good.
