Default Aux. Fan Question

I can't get my electric auxillary fan to work. I have checked the relays, motor, and thermostat plug into the radiator and can't seem to get it to work. Truck keeps overheating because of how hot it is here and it ruined my radiator. Any suggestions?

thanks,
Joey

New fan, add a thermostatic switch, under 80 bucks. Wire it straight to the battery

it is an 89 comanche. fan motor works. wouldn't mind rigging a switch if i knew i wouldn't set the truck on fire. all the relays are good, i installed a new therm. switch, the one that goes into the radiator. i have read the instructions on how to install a switch through the fuse box, but i need a diagram to understand it. just how my brain works. anyway, any suggestions?
