Default fan doesn't work, radiator heatsoak

Whats up guys...

My radiator fan on the turbo side does not work and is causing me to run higher temps, but I havent overheated. I looked and the fan is still pluged in and wires look fine. I'm lost, anybody got any solutions to help me?

Thermostat.

If you want to keep temps down, when you turn the a/c on the fans should kick in

One fan is automatically triggered when the A/C is cut on. The other will kick on with the temp. sensor.
Turn key on and turn A/C on. One fan should run. If it works, try switching the relay for the fans or one not important, and see if that is the problem. If it don't run, try switching the relays.
Temp. switch, Relay, Fuse, Fan. Process of elimination.

I tried the ac but the fan didn't turn on. Does the car have to be on or just the key. Anyway, I was low on coolent (this was odd) filled it and i'm good to go.
