Default 2004 2.7T electric cooling fans not coming on

Well,

I just had my 75K service done at the dealership, which included timing belt, serpentine, water pump, seals etc. I know the fron end has to come off to do this, because I researched how to do it myself and said "uhh...no".

Service was performed 2 weeks ago when the weather was cold, now it's 80+ degrees out and I discovered that neither the aux cooling fan nor the A/C fan (both electric) are engaging. I haven't done any troubleshooting (yet). I am waiting for the dealer to respond to my e-mail regarding this post-repair issue. What can I check myself? Fuses/relays, temp. sensor connectors, fan connectors. I can do the whole 12V fan/wire check routine, but thought I'd start here and hope the dealer replies.

Thanks.

Not sure what is your question (if any)?

What can I check myself? Where are the fuses/relays for the fans? Can I access a temp sensor lead to see if it's disconnected, if so...where is it located?

Does the fan spin freely? If it comes off adjustment from the radiator support (held by one screw) the fan blades will hang up. Check this first

Yes, both fans spin freely and are mounted properly. Sorry, forgot to mention that.
