My wife had a problem with her coolant temp light (red) coming on within a few minutes of start. She informed me that that her fans were not coming on after the car was shut off to cool off the motor.I troubleshot the issue and replaced to cooling fan switch in the radiator (lots of fun). I started the the car, the red light did not come back on, drove the car a few miles then parked the car in my garage, still the fan did not come on. Did the fan run while I was driving the car? Not sure, but I think it did because the overheat light never came on. Is there something else I might need to look at or just drive it more to get the motor even warmer? thanks, Matt
