Default Under hood fan trouble.

In my '05 SS I have notice that my car was slowly over heating when sitting steal. I was told it was the Thermostat so I replaced it today 3/16/2014 and after letting the car sit and run for a few the same problem started again. So I started looking and saw my fans were not turning. I cut on the a/c in my car and they still didn't respond I checked all fuses in car and under hood none was blown am I missing something or did I really lose both fans at the same time?.
