At what temperature should the second cooling fan come on to bring the temp back down to a more normal range? The car is a 95 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with a 3.1 L V6.

Primary fan on at 223 degrees F.
Secondary fan, where applicable, on at 235 degrees F.

Your ac can also cause the fan/s to come on.

In degrees F, how hot is it running?
