In case no-one with a better idea answers, they're usually on the thermostat housing.

There's no switch. It's controlled by a separate bitron ECU. You can test if the fans are working by pulling the plug from the coolant temperature sensor at the back of the thermostat housing. That should cause the fans to run at full speed when the ignition's on
