Have you checked the fuses? The fuses for the fan are situated in the engine compartment and I believe that they are No 3 and 5 rated at 30A.

More than likely it is your themostat. You can remove it and test it by immersing the thermostat in very hot water to see if it opens and closes. If the car is running cold the thermostat will probably be stuck in the open position.

I bled the system today and the thermostat is fine. The fan is broken!
