Ok here is the situation, I have a 96 gt manual. I have a brand new radiator brand new belts and new hoses. I flushed the cooling system, I installed a new thermostat and I replaced all 3 fan relays and replaced all of the fuses in my car. Now the problem, when I drive my car the fans do not want to work. The temp gauge in my car says that the coolant temp is normal but i will drive for like 3 miles and one of the fans should kick in by then right? Anywaz when I turn the ac on both of the fans kick in for a little while but then turn back off. I drove my car and the radiator isn't steaming or nothing but I am a little concerned. There aren't any coolant leaks and other then the super hot radiator the engine runs like a champ. no knocking no wierd idle everything seems ok. I have had this problem before but it was only my thermostat, but I just installed the new one bout a month ago.Any help would be appreciated.

If your temp reads normal, then there isn't a problem. Try letting the engine run 'til it's at normal operating termperature, and then rev it up to about 2000 rpm, do not move the car. Just sit there for a while, and eventually your engine should get hot enough for the fan to kick on. If the temp starts to get high and you still have no fan, THEN you have a problem.
