Good Grief!!! I meant with your fingers.

I *know*. It...does...not...spin...with my fingers. "???" Means what's the next move.

As with any electrical problem, start at the "problem" and work back to the power source. Make sure switch is on then, using a multi-meter, determine if 12 volts DC is present at the fan motor. If it is, you have a bad fan motor. If not move on to the switch, etc. It's really difficult and time consuming to "guess" a solution to any electrical problem.

Yes, see if the fan turns freely, why the question? The work done may have caused it to bind or touch something.

Start by checking if the fan spins freely by hand.

The Suspect list (And you are correct the cover did not likely cause it. But mounting the cover might have)

Blown fuse
Bad Switch
Bad motor
Wiring issue (mouse or a screw (mounting the cover) through the wire.

Suggest a volt meter or test light to check for voltage both sides of the switch and also to test the ground (Ground at the fan)
