i recently replace my radiator and my thermostat because when my car is in idle or driving it continues to run hot. the only other thing i can think of is the fans cuz i have yet to hear them come on at all. so how do u fix the fans is it a fuse or switch that u replace or the fans itself?

you have to see if the relay I sbeing activated to pu the fans on tis could be a temp sensor not working right relay, fuse or fans themselves. if you put your a/con the fans shold work so that would eliminate everything but temp sensor.

then check fuse and relay underhood first. if not that have apro check your temp sensor or run a hot wire to the fans to see if they work to eliminate the motors.
