Default Need help checking my fans

Driving home tonight, I noticed that the vette was running hotter than normal. In stop & go traffic the temp was around 225 - 230, when I got the car home and in the garage I did not notice that the fans were running even with the temp up this high.

Is there anyway I can check to see if the fans are operating correctly? I had some water problems a while back and really don't know if the fans are still operating.

Thanks,

:cheers:

One of your fans should come on when you have the A/C on. The other should kick in at about the temperature you describe.

What kind of water problems? Could the fuse be blown, or the wiring damaged?
