Is it possible that if my thermostat is stuck, could this cause the fans to not come on. If so, where is the thermostat physically located as I do not have a manual for the car. I checked all the fuses and they are good. If it is a relay that possibley failed where that coils of the relay is opened, which relay number(s) are they.

Thanks for your help,
Lance
