There are two switches with green connectors, one is on the rear side of the motor (towards the cabin) next to the intake and the other is on the front side of the motor (towards the grille) next to the exhaust.

Yes, when I jump the rear switch both fans come on and when I jump the relay the larger fan comes on. Yes, the new fuse is still good. Now, about this HOT. Well, I just did the head gasket and don't want to fry it again. Here is what I did (perhaps it wasn't hot enough), after I put in a new fuse and jumped the switch and seen that both fans came on and knew the motors worked I went and drove the car about 20 miles @ 60MPH and came back home. I turned the car off, opened the hood and the fans were not on. So did I run it hot enough? The gauge never got past 1/3 up. Should I drive it and then let it sit running and wait for them to come on? I just don't want to fry it again.

Thanks to all for helping me help my Mom.
