Is the car running hot? Do you have a Temp Gauge?

Ayep, normal. Fan is electrically triggered when engine temp. reaches sensor limit, fan auto-ons when A/C is on. It normal, no worries, unless guage really gets up to around 3/4 or red area.

My point exactly Knife. If the car is running hot and the fan is not comming on then there is another issue. The fan may still come on when the A/C is activated. A little above 1/2 on the gauge is normal but 3/4 is not.
