The engine cooling fan circuit in the Milano is relatively simple:

+12v (bat) ---- fuse ---- switch ---- fanMotor ---- Gnd

+12v (ign) --------------- coil ---- thermalSwitch ---- Gnd

The fuse/switch/coil are part of the engine cooling fan relay (I1), 
which is mounted on the inside fender wall near the airbox.

(For a better wiring diagram see the article "Rewire Your Milano Fan to Run After 
the Engine is Turned Off" at the website:

To find the article select "Feature stories" and "Cooling.")

Given the simple wiring diagram, if you have a voltmeter, you should be 
able to find the problem. Just start at the fuse and work your way towards 
the fan motor, checking for 12 volts as you go.

Good luck,
