What temp does the rad fan usually kick in at for most GM vehicles? We have a 2006 Pursuit and the temp is getting to 214F with no rad fan running (Hot day and city driving). And it doesn't turn on after I hit the A/C either. Thermostats are usually rated in the 192F range so I know its not overheating, but we just never see the rad fan kick on. _________________ Jordan (Hybird)

Well we replaced the evaporator when we changed the rad so the system is dry of freeon. I just assumed if the pump gets the signal from the HVAC controls it would kick the fan in. Maybe that is why it didn't come on. _________________ Jordan (Hybird)

Same here. I am wanting to add a switch. That is a good idea I saw that mod elsewhere on this site.
