You need to check the fan motors by using 12V from the battery. Spinning them won't check the electricals, but at least the bearings may be OK.
I'd recommend having an electrically inclined friend help out, if you don't want to take it to a $$ mechanic for now.
LIke others said, besides checking to make sure the fan motors run, also the coolant switch and relay/fuses. See Autozone's free repair guide with registration.

Thank you,
