A/C and my fans??

I removed my AC last weekend and hadn't drove the car until today. Driving home I noticed I was running hot. Looked under the hood and only 1 fan was on and the temp was at 210. By then the fan is usually on. Do I need to anything to the connector that I took off or am I giong to need to wire the 2nd fan to the 1st one? Thanks in advance.

the second fan would run with the ac on. i'm not sure if it would ever turn on wothout the ac. it shouldn't be hard to trace the wires to a sender if it's wired to one. if it isn't, or you could just do it, is wire the second fan off the first fan to both run at the same time.

Ya, the second fan will turn on with the AC on. It will also turn on when the temp get too hot. I've seen both fans on without the AC not being turned on. Now if I turn the AC on, without AC, the fan does not turn on. So I suspect one of the connector that I pulled off must be the culpret. I'd hate to have to cut up my wiring if it is as simple as maybe tripping a connector or something along those lines.
