When my '91 Van fans stopped working, it turned out to be the
resisters in the overhead unit had to be replaced.  Well....
at least that's what the dealer said.  ~$300 later, the fan worked.>>

I had the same problem last summer. My fan didn't come on causing the engine
to over heat, so I fixed the problem with a new thremo switch.
I later had my AC repaired and the fan was still not working with the AC, I
had to replace a cracked porcelain whatchamacallit on the driver side under
the headlight. I forgot what's it called but I'm sure someone out there will
correct me. Once that was replaced the fan worked.
