Blown fuses!  Thanks Steve.  Found both of these 50A fuses were blown.
 What to do?  Turns out they are the same fuse used on VW Diesels in the
Glow Plug circuit.  I had one spare that I had (with great foresight) added
to a recent order from the Bus Depot.  I swiped the other from my '84 Jetta
TD, since the engine is being transplanted into Reinhardt.  Bingo.  Fan
works.  Will keep an eye on things to determine if something is causing the
blown fuses, other than age (8 year old originals.)  Will order a few more
spares from BD.  Thanks to everyone who made diagnostic suggestions!
