Just wondering what temp my car has to be before my cooling fans kick on? My gage gets to about 210 degrees and no fans. They have been tested ( there are two) They both kick on with a jumper wire is used. Someone told me that on my car they won't kick on til 213 degrees. Is that true? Can I get temp up some how? Thanks
