Yea, there is a metal fuse (might be 80 AMP) under the hood in a black box  near 
the driver side inner fender.  Easy to spot.  They corrode and go  bad (BTDT 
twice).  I keep a spar in the glove box.  Look at it and  clean it.
 
May as well check all plug connections going to the fan, including the  speed 
controller mounted in front of the AC condenser low, under the plastic  piece 
the removes between the radiator and the front end.
