Recently the fans on the radiator have stop working making it impossible to drive long distances. Was just wondering what the cause may be and what i should do to fix it.

Will need to test a few things to find out what the cause is. Disconnect fan motor wire connecto and connect it with 14 gauge wire to a good 12 volt battery. if fan runs then motor is OK. this means thermal switch, radiator fan switch, coolant relay, timer relay, coolant temperature switch or A/C relay may be faulty. if fan motor does NOT run when connected directly to good battery then replace fan motor.
