Sounds like the stalk has failed.
Scrap yard, put it in your pocket.

Find out why you have no fan asap could be fan switch or connector in rad , give the fan motor a direct 12v feed if it works ok then replace switch do this first as you may blow your head gasket and damage engine, flash probably bad microswitch in stork try another one breakers will do.

Just giving it a live isn't gunna make it
spin, unplug the fan sensor and bridge the two pins with a paperclip. Whack the ignition on and see if it spins.
