if all is good, and no dice, remove fan connector at inner corner of radiator shroud and test with test lamp - you can even use a couple of wires to supply that connector with power to see if the fans kick on.
If all is good - check the resistor bolted next to the reciever dryer and the ABS pump right behind the driver headlamp. wiggle the wires on it and see if they are charred to dust.
If they are - then replace the resistor and crimp on some new eyelet lugs to the wiring and screw down to the resistor,
The fans should now work properly.
When the resistor fails bad enough it will fry even the high speed wiring.

Lots of info, thanks!
The fuses are unlike any I’ve ever seen. Weird tiny ones, with just metal strips. None appear to be blown. Is there another fuse panel? This one is right near the drivers strut hat.
Neither fans work. The car didn’t get near the red zone, but it was climbing that way in traffic, and luckily there was room to start moving again and all was fine on my hour ride home. Just in 5+ mins of dead stop traffic did this occur. I drive this car a lot and the fans are usually rather loud, when stuck in long traffic.
Can’t get them to work with AC on or off. I’ve also always had cold air. Earlier today the AC was blowing warm for 2mins, and I just rolled down the windows thinking there’s probably a leak in the system. On my ride home the AC was back to normal. Weird.
