The thermostat is fund by following the top hose from the radiator to the engine. It is terminate at the thermostat housing.
If your car don't have AC, the fan is controlled by a thermoswitch mounted on the edge of the radiator, a short distance below the top hose.
(can't be arsed to go out and check the colour of the connector, but it' a two-wire thing.)
You should be able to measure 12V between one of the pins on the cable and whatever piece of metal is nearby. (This 12V is not controlled by the ignition swich)
If you do find 12V, momentarily short the two points on the cable together. That should make the fan start.
With AC, though, it's a sensor mounted on the thermostat housing, and it's the AC controller that runs the show.
