Fantastic Fan Stopped Working

Buckster

I've checked the fuses (tubular in fan) as well as the 15 amp fuse in the box and both appear to be fine.  The fan has worked fine until now.  Everything else (lights, water pump, stereo, etc.) are all working fine.  The fan is completely unresponsive.  Any other ideas on how to troubleshoot what the problem might be?

Maybe the switch that stops it when the cover is closed is stuck down?

Voltmeter or test light. Check both sides of the fuse in the power center and then check if power makes it to the fan fuse.

I just checked the switch and it is up and pushes up and down.  Perhaps I need to spray a little contact cleaner on it and work it up and down.

Mystery solved - I just noticed the thermostat dial had been turned up toward heat. I turned it all the way back to cold (blue) and presto, the fan started right up!  Thanks for the responses!
