electric fan

my electric fans aren't comming on. i let the temp get up above 220, and nothing happened. also, i tried turning on the a/c and the clutch on the compressor is not turning and the fans aren't turning on. it's connected correctly, but i don't know if it's the motor or wires. anyone know a good way to check?

i think that the fans are working, but the car has to get hot before they turn on...like 230 of so. how can i get them to turn on at a lower temperature?

Try a in the cooling section, and you will need a new switch, not a thermostat.
