Default 96Cab 2.6L overheating-fans don't come on

My 96 cab w/2.6L has started to overheat. The fans don't come on at all, unless the A/C is switched on. I thought they were supposed to run-anytime the radiator got hot. There are no fuses blown, but I don't know about the realys. Where are the relay/s for the radiator fans on this car?
Anyone have a diagram of the radiator fan circuit for the 96 Cab? Need some help on this one.

Default There's also a sensor which tells them when to turn on which might not be working...

...I don't know where the fan relays are located, but check either the diagram on the top of the fuse box or above the pedals...although if they're staying on with the A/C on I'd imagine the relays are working just fine.
