Thermal switch on the thermostat housing controls the fan. Unplug switch and put jumper wire in the plug. Fan should now run all the time the key is on. If not, check relay and fuse (you've already tested the motor). The relay and fuse are both in the underhood box I think. If it doesn't overheat with the fan jumped so it runs all the time, replace thermal switch. Don't just leave the fan jumped because the motor will wear out prematurely.
