use a paper clip to bridge the connector for the fan switch, if the fan comes on, you know its the switch.

nope, its on the 'drivers' side of the rad.

Make sure you bridge the plug on the loom, not the sensor itself, which obviously wont do anything.

Not being patronising, but people have done stupid stuff before like unplugging the power connector to the fan and bridging that to try and make it come on...
