Yes, your fan should turn on with the A/C. The factory fan turns on at 238*F, I am looking for a switch that turns fan/s on around 200*F. If I find one I'll let you know

i wonder why the fan isn't turning on. any thoughts?

i think i found a switch by jet performance that turns on at 195 and off at 185. they say it's for dual fans. i'm waiting for an email from jet to see it it will work with the stock single fan. btw, i found the best price for the switch at froogle.com. i think it was $46 with shipping.
