Radiator Fan Doesn't Operate After Alternator Replacement

I suspect that the wiring harness to the Radiator Fan got disturbed inadvertently during the Alternator replacement.

This could include a connector plug being pulled loose, a wire cut or broken or "pinched" and thus in contact [grounded] with/to a component of the engine which is grounded.
