The fan switch is located on the passenger side cylinder head between cylinders 6 and 8. It looks kind of similar to the coolant temperature sensor.

I also have almost the exact same problem that you do. One thing that I am going to try is taking of the fan and then hotwiring it to see if it comes on with just battery voltage applied to it. Have you also checked the fan relay?
