Well, I changed the sensor and still have no fan. I did jump with a wire
and both spped work. Here's the update: Took it to my local wrench and we
noticed the radiator steaming with no fan. But the upper hose ehich I
think is the return was cold and sqeezable up until the point that it
would overheat. The new scenario is it needs a thermostat. But I find it
strange that the fan switch and thermmostat would go bad at once unless
one killed the other.

I did put a new switch in and started it up to the point the rad was
steaming from the water we squirted on it earlier and the temp was way
above 3/4 on the guage and still had no fan
kick in. I'm at a loss here. I will be putting a new thermostat in on
Monday. Hope this will cure the problem. I went to buy a Bentleys at a
local vw shop here in Milwaukee (Mofoco) and they were out.
