there is a big gray relay just on top of the radiator (hooked to a removable plastic plate) Sometimes carbon deposits accumulates on the contacts. You can open it and clean the contacts with alchool or replace the entire relay

To know if the thermostat is stuck, check if the upper radiator pipe is hot when you touch it.

By the way, is there enough coolant in the system?

good luck!
