<< Scott; Here is a way to test the thermo-switch. Locate the switch on the radiator and disconnect it. The plug (connected to the wires) has three connectors. Short across two at a time, you have three combinations to choose from. Your results should be high fan, low fan and no effect. If that is what you get suspect the switch.

Scott, after doing the above checks as Ken has mentioned, and the fan only comes on at a high speed, then you need to replace the resistor pack behing your left head light bucket, wich is for your low speed. The Bentley manual has a horrible wireing diagram for this, it doesn't even show the resistor curcuit. Good luck. Michael Modl 87 syncro.
