Does the thermostat have anything to do with the radiator fan not working?

Yes,youll need a new thermostat if the fans not working.how else would your car keep cool...
The fan is probably an electric fan and is independent of the thermostat. The thermostat regulates the amount of water being allowed to run through the engine to maintain a constant temperature. The fan pulls the heat out of the water that flows though the radiator. Related but not connected.
There is a fan sensor that tells it when to come on and when to shut off. I don't know where it is, but it's there somewhere. Check that and check to see if there is power to the fan. Might be a blown fuse.

Will the electric fan on a 1987 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 work if the thermostat is bad?
The temperature switch for the Secendary electric fan is on the radiator. The coolant needs to reach around 190 deg as it is exiting the radiator before the secondary fan will turn on. If the thermostat is stuck in the closed position the engine will overheat, No coolant flowing through the radiator, If it is stuck in the open position then the engine will take a long time to warm up. a stuck thermostat should have no effect on the electric fan working or not. The most common cause of the fan not working is the temperature switch not working.
