Hi.

I have just changed the radiator on my ae101 and I notice when I turn the engine on the fans are not spinning.

Is it normal for the fans to not spin until the engine gets hot or should the fans be spinning all the time?

Thanks.

It only comes on when it gets hot enough. Normally happens when the car sits idling for a long time.

needless to say the fans are working now

bring it by and i'll put my test probe on them to see if the still good. the AC one only comes on when the AC is on. the main radiator one only comes on when hot.
