Default radiator problem?

After I got into my accident I noticed the fans on my radiators don't spin. My car doesnt over heat or anything but I never see the fans spin no matter how long the car has been on. any idea on what it could be? I got a GSR btw... could it be a plug somewhere? any ideas?

First, your thermo switch might be bad. It is the part that turns the fans on and off. Second, your car might not need to turn the fans on. I know I haven't seen my fans run in a long time. Third, do what the guy above said.

Unplug your fan temperature switch, turn on the ignition. Short the pins together in the plug, that should make the fan run. Easier than rigging 12v to the fan motor...

If I remember, it's on the thermostat housing... where the lower radiator hose gets to the engine. There's a couple sensors there, I don't have a handy picture of which one...
