91 Tracer...cooling fan

my 1991 4cyl Tracer...
heats up at idle...and I look under the hood cooling fan...is not moving...

could it be the large black fuse block under hood?

tracers run pretty hot anyway. does the fan ever turn on?

no it never seems to come on...
but, when I tested it with hot line to battery it reuns...? I have been driving it ... no over heat stalling...so I'm open for suggestions...?

tracers run so hot that if you're fan wasnt coming on i doubt you would still have a functional engine.

I know what fusebox you're talking about. its like right around the battery, right? if you want to check the fuse, go ahead. i doubt your car has any problems though if the fan itself can still work when you hotwire it.

has the light ever come on that says your engine is overheating? i had that happen to me once. turns out i was leaking coolant while i was driving.

i would take it to autozone.
