Okay. This could be a number of things. If neither fan comes on then it could be a fuse or the motors themselves. The first thing we need to is either check for power at the motors or jump 12 volts to them to see if they even turn on. If they are able to run then we know it is a control issue. However, if they don't run then the motors are the issue.

Do you know if the A/C cooling fan will run? Just turn the engine on and put the A/C on high and see if one of the fans comes on.
