Default Electric cooling fan not working

After taking my Cherokee for a long drive today, I opened the hood and noticed that the electric cooling fan wasn't working. How should I go about fixing this?

Does it come on with the A/C?

What was the gauge temp when you noticed the e-fan wasn't on?

I put the AC on and it didn't work. The temp was fine.

So I took the fuse out and I noticed that there was a small hairline crack on the medal thing in the middle. Is the fuse bad?

If it isn't continuous from one tab to the other, it's bad. A resistance check with a DMM will give you a definite answer, as will replacing it with a known good one.
