Please put '95 SE' in your signature by editing your profile so we know what you have in future posts.

Not coming on WHEN? They shouldn't come on until over 200 degrees.

When you turn on your AC, do they come on (both high speed)?

Being that we don't know where you live.. or when you expect the fans to come on.. I get to have fun here.

Your fans don't need to come on at the south pole. It'* -110F degrees

Seriously though. The fans come on at about 215F for low speed and 225ish for high speed. Using a scan tool, you may find that your gauge is inaccurate and the fans do or don't kick on appropriately. The relay connections could also be suspect.

Steven..

Please don't use caps. It is viewed as yelling as while we know you are happy for the replies...

Ok, where do you live? What temperature is the motor getting to? Have you used a scan too to verify the temperature reading of the dash gauge?

You are sure the temp is warm enough, but they don't come on..

Have you checked/tested the relay for the fans? We have found that the contacts usually need a cleaning. Check power to the relay and that the relay functions. If the relay is good and connection is good, then the next item to check would be the coolant sensor that feeds the PCM to turn on the fans. (I believe you said you already changed that though)

Desperation won't help.

You haven't answered all the questions.

We need to know:

1. Where you live. The climate and average temps are important.
2. Do you have a scantool?
3. Do the fans come on when you turn the air conditioning on?

There'* alot more to this than you may think, and we need this information to help you. Your temperature sender may not be working right, making you think you are running hotter than you are. The gauge uses a dedicated sensor, while th PCM (powertrain control module or COMPUTER) uses another. The COMPUTER tells the fans when to come one, and could care less what the gauge actually reads. It has it'* own dedicated sensor.

Please answer the 3 questions above.

I did answer those questions in the in the second or third post once again I live in San Jose California, average temp in the summer 90. I do not have a scan tool and I just put in a new a/c compressor but have not charge it back up. Fans do not come at all at any temp.
