Well, folks, I did what you suggested, and the fan did not come on. As I placed them together, I heard a kind of clicking noise over by the fuse box, so I removed the fuse box cover, and did not see any blown fuses. Over the weekend I replaced ALL of my fuses, as I'm sure some of them were original to the car. At any rate, the fan didn't come on, I could see no sparks, and I don't know where to look next.
Any ideas or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, Thanks so much in advance!
