MG MGB Technical - Radiator fan motor probs.

My 77 mgb roadster has been unused and garaged for about 2 yrs, ive recently refound enthusiasm and want to get back on the road this summer.Ive replaced various parts, brakes fuel pump etc but am defeated by my new electric rad fan motor.
It refuses to activate at any temperature. Connections appear ok and motor is new, I hope im being dum and the sollution is simple.
All advice welcome and appreciated.

Hi Barry,

Check the water temp. sensor mounted in the top of the radiator, just next to the top hose. This (switch)should close when the water temperature reaches the specified temp.. You can use a ohm meter to verify.

Good Luck & Stay cool!
