Hi,
Yes the thermostat will run on 12 volts DC, mine does. If the fan will not start or even hum, you probably do not have 12 VDC. Or might have a bad fuse on the thermostat wire.

Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a
Porsche or Country Coach!
If there's a WILL, I want to be in it!
I havn't been everywhere, but it's on my list.
