Unhappy Blk Magic 150 E-Fan...No power...Help?

I finally installed my Blk Magic E-Fan today and have it all wired up correctly (double checked a million times ) and I am still getting NO POWER! I even took both leads and put them on the positive on the battery and took the negative and put it on the negative of the battery to ensure a good ground! Still NO POWER at all! My thermostat probe is in correctly, but my rad temp is probably really cold!

I have read the wiring instructions again and again? Where to start??? Help?

When I did that, it turned out to be a bad ground. I had to clean the point where my old e-fan was grounded, it wasn't making a good enough connection for the new fan.

I have mine getting power and grounded straight from the battery to ensure no faulty connections and my fan will turn on when it gets to normal operating temp. People say their is a huge amperage draw from the fan and reading the specs, and it should be. But my alternator and battery is working fine. I always have 12.25v-12.35v with the car off and I get over 13.5v with the car on. I have never had any problems with it.
