I'd start with hooking the fan back up like factory, then go-to the fan relay in the under hood fuse box, pull the relay out, and jump the two terminals inside the panel to see if the fan comes on, usually terminals 30 and 87 (should be labeled on relay). If the fan comes on then you know your circuit is good from relay to fan. Lmk what you find, some of those dodges have a small box down on the radiator support, it's what controls the fan
