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.

On my J, it kicks in just over 220*F, and kicks off just under it.

if the fan isn't coming on when you switch on AC something is wrong, either with the fan or the AC has lost pressure.

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.

Nope, if there isn't enough pressure the compressor nor fan will come on.

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