Default rad fan question

kinda of a dumb question but if your fans dont come on at all your car will definately overheat right? does turning the heat to ON make the fans come on?

your car will overheat at idle, but if you are driving and have airflow through the radiator it will just run hot.

no turning the heat on should not make the fans come on, however turning the a/c on will.

my car does not overheat at idle so I guess the fans are working? but it does if I don't turn the heat ON I replaced the thermostat yesterday but it still overheats
also the hose going into the thermostat does not heat up

what else could it be causing it to overheat?
