Seicento Cooling fan, not working

[OG Burrows]

Hi all, hope things are all okay for you, i have a slight problem it doesn't overly bother me but i drove my seicento for about 4 and half hours, and was suprised that i couldn't hear the fan in action, I was wondering if it only comes on when overheating or if it has had it's day.. I have checked the fuse, and that is about as far as i got, Thanks for your time!!

It should come on at 92 and off at 88 IIRC. You can test it by connecting it directly to a battery. It will only come on in heavy traffic ideally. Quite noticeable when it does come on while stationary. The RPM while driving and air through the radiator is good enough to keep the car cool. Try leaving the car sat running for 10 mins after a good drive. Although not ideal if fan doesnt come on, it should be on by now. If the temp light hasnt come on and fan works from battery id go with a Temp sender sending out a signal saying its cooler than it is or the thermostat stuck open.

Hope that helps a bit.
