Weird Cooling Fan Problem

I have a 91 900 Turbo, and my main cooling fan isn't kicking in when the car gets hot. My temp gauge will get just below the top mark, which I've never seen it get that high, and although it doesn't overheat, it makes me very uncomfortable. The A/C fan kicks on (which it's supposed to on a Turbo, correct?), but the main fan doesn't.
I tried jumpering the thermoswitch like the Bentley book says, and the A/C fan kicked on, I think I heard the fan relay kick, but the main fan didn't come on. I pulled out the main fan and put power to it with a battery charger, and the fan ran, although it ran very poorly and sounded like crap.
Basically, I am a at a loss for what is wrong. Unless the gurus here have any better I'm going to the junkyard tomorrow to try and find a fan and a thermoswitch, and if that doesn't work, well, I guess I'll just wire something up.
