Fan Problems!

hey,

i just recently bought a 1992 camaro rs with a 305 tbi, and i noticed when i bought the car that the fan was grounded so whenever i turned the key to the ON position, the fan started. Now, i notice that my car starts getting hotter faster and thats because the fan doesn't turn on anymore. All of the connections are good, but the only way the fan will turn on is when the A/C is on.

Any input would be nice and thanks in advance

Hopefully whoever wired the fan to come on with the ignition put an inline fuse in and it's blown. When the a/c
is turned on, it overrides the radiator fan switch usually, but since it\s been tampered with it could be anything...

well i changed the fuse and still no luck. It looks like the fan isn't grounded using the green and white wire, but it's hooked up to a 12 volt source. IF i wanted to ground it with a green and white wire, would it work then?
