Is it a relay you can see? I would swap it with another one and see if that fixes it. They are cheap to replace. I've actually opened them up and cleaned the contacts to get them working again.
Other options is when the motor is out, verify if the Brushes and Armature are both ok. If the brushes are too worn, or if they are stuck from gunk, they will not touch the Armature enough to make an electrical connection. Or, the Armatures can be worn enough they don't work anymore.

Are these relays just like the other ones on the fuse panel? I have a handful of those lol

I have not looked at the ones you are speaking of, but if the plugs are the same, they likely are. There are also numbers on the side of them, see if the numbers match. If they do, you are good to try it. I haven't yet messed with the relays in the Rover, but in my Jaguar, there were about 15 that were the same, so it was easy to find one to swap with.

Hmmmm i may have found something.... Im getting 14.3v as i think is normal from full battery power... However... When unpluging a hot connector under dash (smelled wet burning plastic before a/c stopped few weeks ago as a reference) well i noticed this... Anyone know what effect this would have? Lol
Fan when jumped directly to battery works great so thats not the issue

I may cut off the offending plug and instal an Anderson plug... heck, that means my fuse panel may also be good

yeah.... maybe it was a quick shot of a loose plug and bamo! that makes sense that when i fiddled around there probing for a hot then fan started working... I think possibly a loose fitting sparked... melted the plastic between the hot side coating it and when fiddling around down there inadvertently allowed for it to make contact temporarily but still in a loose state... so as expected.. shorted out again... hmmm dangerous to have little fires under dash! lol maybe its best to replace all connectors with nice Anderson's! lol or equivalent lol Too bad I wasn't enjoying a nice deep mudhole when that happened! haha
