Honestly did not check if fans turned on will check the switch! I had car on for about 30 min Did not see them turn on Did not see it if it turns on with AC either will check!

Re: Overheating

Fans need to cycle twice while bleeding the cooling system. I suggest you invest in a Lisle Spill Free coolant funnel at the same time. Essentially raises the coolant point and helps contain any extra.

If the fans do not kick on check the sensors themselves with a multimeter.
