there will be a temperature switch for the rad, either on the rad or thermostat housing, can't remember which to be honest though.
just unplug the wire and bridge the connectors, switch engine on and if the fan turns on then it's a new switch you need, if not, then check fuse or wiring.

you bridged the wires at the fan?????
surely that won't do anything as the fan temp switch is what activates the circuit.
i'd run a couple of wires directly to the fan from the battery, then you know if the fan is faulty for certain, it'll spark a little, but don't panic, it's only 12v.

some are plastic on zetecs and some alloy, it should have two chunkier cables going into it, just put a wire between the pins in the plug, then switch ignition to on.
fan should kick in then.
i'm assuming you've looked at your fuses already.
