Fan not working (again)

Fan not working (again)
About three miles from work this morning, noticed temperature up near the red. Fan isn't working. Fuse OK. No steam (yet).
Managed to ride the last three miles by turning off the power at every traffic light and coasting as much as possible.
If manually earthing the fan doesn't work, I guess it must be the switch in the radiator. Or could it be the thermostat (which is only a couple of years old)?
Thanks all.

Hmm,
Grounding the fan wire to the frame (with key on) will test if fan motor and wiring are OK. Of Ok, thermo-switch in rad bad. If it doesn't work with this test, fan motor or wiring/connection bad. Get out a test light or meter and check for 12V at fan motor with key on. If yes, fan motor bad. If no voltage to fan motor, check wiring from fuse block (since you said no issue with fuse).
