The only electrical components on that circuit is the fan. If the fuse is blown you need a new fan.

Another way to test if the fan is o.k is if you have software program to communicate with the truck. The right program can check for faults and can command the DME to turn the fan on.

Search my posts for fan problem and solution.
Thansk for the tips!
I will certainly go check it out after work.

also, this software program you mentioned; is it possible to get one myself? I'm in a comp sci program so technology comes easy to me. so learning new tech stuff interests me, but this does involve car stuff which is all still pretty new to me.

and thank you, i will for sure check your posts
