Hmmm well the one option now is that the fans are dead.  Or maybe the relay
that kicks them on.  Pop them into another car see what happens.  How about
one of the fan mod's here, just to basicly test the system?  Put in a toggle
switch and wire the fans up that way see if they kick on.  After that if
they work, then its a sensor issue or the relay for the fans if they turn.
Hmmmm, what about forcefully putting the car into limp mode????  That way
the fans are always on or so is told by the ECU.  I like the toggle switch
idea better, right behind testing in another car.

I know many people with no AC and the fans work fine, so that says something
is up with the relay or fans I would think.
