Fuses are all good. I pulled the connectors on the TIPM and saw no corrosion.
If I bypass the high-speed relay which is on the horn bracket, the fan works.

So, the condenser fan is run by the TIPM which goes out all the time in these trucks, but to be sure we should do a CAN scan, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here are the fan wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and I have included how to change out the TIPM which is easy because it-self learns. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
