I have an extra fan I can sell you cheap if yours is bad.

Sorry about not getting back sooner but I have been busy getting the turbo car ready for a trackday in the evenings.

If it's an NA you can jumper it and kick the fan on to make sure it works. If you jumper and it works, then the problem is your thermal switch. Doesn't work on NBs I'm sad to say. Miata.NET says jumper GND and TFA.

This is a wealth of info for t-shooting cooling issues:
