1987 TA dual cooling fans

Help !! trying to troubleshoot the cooling fans , I have only one fan coming on on the drivers side , I cant get the passenger side to come on , does anyone know what temps these are supposed to come on at . The highest temp I have seen so far is 220 .

Passenger side fan is controlled by a temperature switch on the passenger side head between cyl 6 & 8 and will come on at a temperature of 238F

Re: 1987 TA dual cooling fans

so , if the engine temp never gets to 238 , then the fan will never come on . Is there a way to test that , use 12 volt jumpers maybe ?
