My fans only work when I shut the car off after being driven. They do work when the a/c is on. I changed the fan radiator switch and bled the system of air. Is there anything else I can do to get the fans working while the car is running? Thanks

I changed the fan radiator switch-this one could be for the gauge. Try checking the engine coolant temperature sensor
