fan does not come on with engine heat
my dual fan set-up is not functioning properly. the driver side fan works as intended but the other one does not work when it should. i checked the relays and they are fine. if you give the fan a ground it works but something is not telling it when to come on . any help?

it runs about 160 while driving. but when you sit still it will rise . i have let it go up to about 220 and it still wont come on. so i am stumped. i checked the relays and i think they are good. i put a new switch in it. that didnt help. if you ground the fan it will work. to do this touch the wire to the switch to anything. and the fan takes off. help please

I was poking around at work a while back, and I looked up the stock spec for the secondary fan switch on a dual fan setup.. It was something like 238*...
I'll see if I can double check that and confirm that figure tomorrow (or if anyone else knows for certain??)
