Can't remember much about the TL specifically, so do these:
Fuses?
Is everything connected properly?
Disconnect the fan wiring and connect the fan directly to the battery, does the fan run? No, then that's the problem.
If yes, then on the radiator there will be a switch, (usually brass, often with a rubber boot on the back), which is the fan switch. Remove the connector from the switch and use a bit of wire to connect the two terminals on the wire together, with the ignition switched on the fan should run, if it does then the switch in the rad is duffed.
If no, then check there's battery voltage at the switch, (one of the wires will be batt+ when the ignition is on).
If no = wiring problem.

High beam light, (or anything else working intermittently), there are loose things somewhere.
