Default How do you know if your radiator fans are working?

I don't ever recall hearing the fans, and whenever I have my hood open with the car on, I never see it spin. I replaced my radiator with a oem showa radiator 3 months ago.

they should click on eventually (I forget when).

if your car isn't overheating I wouldn't worry about it.

Let it sit for about twenty minutes and you should see the fans turn on....

sit there and wait with the car running. 10 min or so depending on how hot it is outside

A/C should kick them on too... or you can just wait and watch. If your car isn't overheating in traffic, I'm sure they are working fine...
