The old one didn't but I don't have a clue how it fix its self but after I put the new one back in it came on with the ac as soon as the clutch kicked on and has been working ever since
It may not work that way as the fan has an electronic module on it that the computer must switch to on before it works. A simple 12 volt 'jump' likely won't do that like on most fans.
If OP never got engine hot enough to switch fan on with first fan it may have been OK.
