To be honest I always use A/C so I have been too busy to replace the failed switch, even though the part is cheap. When the A/C is on, the fans run automatically.
If I am getting this correct, you suggest drive ( it is hot out always here) , No AC ; No idling ; No Stop & Go. So this is only possible to do on a highway. Like a 15 minute highway drive .. Correct?

And if the needle goes past halfway line DURING THE DRIVE, then it is a fan issue.
(possibly failed fan switch) ..

I can do that. If not past the halfway line then , where am I ?

Thanks,

Austin
