did you start with a manual clutch operated fan and switch to a electric fan?

IS there a belt going around the fan that turns it or is it operated electronically by the battery?

that narrows it down to a faulty fan switch or relay. or a bad coolant temp sending unit or coolant temp sensor. if those check out good the fan and make sure it is not bad.
