Id say the actual fan motor is bad. If you’re getting power to the fan but still not working, id say the actual fan motor is faulty

I would make sure you have a good ground, so check the blk wire at the cooling fan module, also these cars had a problem with the TIPM FYI, here is the wiring diagram to see how the system works and where to check for power and ground.
