Make sure you bled all the air out of the system. If that checks out it could be the ECT or a relay issue. You could verify that the fan works by pulling the relay and putting a jumper in for testing. The temp sensor would have to be removed to properly test resistance values if you want to rule that possibility out. Good Luck1
