That pic is a little "close" and blury to get a mental image but the main fan relay is located on the LH fender well below the brake MC.
On my '88 the coolant fan power wire is Blk/Red and the ground wire is Blk.

Stock there is no wire from the fan motor direct to a sensor ; power only comes from the mentioned relay
unless a PO has ired the main fan to run of the mech sensor used for the Aux fan

Any coolant sensors / switches fit in the heads
If you have a single fan there is no switch for the fan ; control is solely from the ECM which stock turns fan on at 228F

The coolant temp sensor for the ECM is in the front of the intake base below the TB. There should be a Yel & a Blk wire.
To see if the ECM drivers can engage and hold the fan relay on, open the small connector in the A/C pressure line and start the engine; the main fan should come on and stay on.
