Default Fan doesn't come on anymore

Can someone tell me what else i should do? the fans on my 91 accord don't come on anymore. i replaced the cooling fan relay (inside the fusebox under the hood) and it still doesn't come on after i drive for some time. it used to come on and off while driving and come on after i turn off the car. any suggestions? if it matters at all, i had my radio stolen about 2 months ago and ever since then it hasn't worked.

thanks...

Fuse (in my 99 it's under the dash), relay (which you already checked), temp switch, fan motor, thermostat.

There's some possibilities anyway.

the fan does work, i wired one of the prongs of the relay to ground and it spins when the ignition is on "ON" but i don't want to have it on all the time, just when it needs to.

but i'll check the fuses and other things you mentioned. when my radio was stolen, the lines probably crossed and shorted the fan. thanks for the reply

You could jumper the plug for the fan switch, make sure the fan runs. If that makes the fan run, then you've narrowed it down to the fan switch.

It's located in the thermostat housing on my '98, but I think they changed the location sometimes?

It could be the thermo switch.
