2004 XC90 2.5T AWD: Rad fan not coming on

I had the radiator replaced at 182k. It is new and the job done through a volvo service center. The problem I now have is the radiator fan not coming on which raises the temp as I can see it rising on the temp gauge when at a stand still. It there access to the rad fan fuse? How do I get to it and replace it? Is there another cause for this to happen? I'd appreciate any inputs and suggestions. Otherwise its back to the shop that did the work and have them mess with it.

Since I have not received any advice or a mere comment to my issue, I have decided to take it back to the shop and let a professional deal with it. I may be overcharged for it but I'd rather have it done than have my family stranded somewhere with an overheating piece of Swede.

Update: As of July first week, I had the fan replaced. Accnd to service writer from Byers, it was not cycling through so they managed to simulate the three stages the fan supposedly comes on and no response came from the fan so they deemed it faulty. Another $$$ expense even after a 15% manager's special coupon for repairs and parts.

Shortly after taking the XC home, I decided to check engine oil level as I know it will need it's scheduled service and lo and behold, I cannot pop the hood, the hood release lever is tight to pull open and after two tries it broke...Back to Byers as soon as possible.
