i would not worry if the fan stays off when starting the cool engine in the morning. modern cars have thermostats controlling their fans. these fans will turn on, once the engine runs and reaches a certain hot temperature. after the engine cools and the temperature falls to a certain level, these fans will automatically turn off. now, some owners have bypassed the thermostats, for reasons only they can fathom. these fans are always on. sometimes, the fans or the thermostat sending units become defective. when this happens and you don't observe your temp gauge, the engine will overheat..
the normal temperature range is when the needle is about the center, give or take a little over or under.. i would worry if the needle goes 3/4..

if you want to see if it turns on, drive it around until it reaches operating temp. Stop in a safe place and pop your hood, and wait for a few mins for the fan to automatically turn on and off. The thermoswitch turns on at approx 92C coolant temp.

Ano po kaya ang sira kung di umiikot ang radiator fan kahit mainit na ang makina? sinubukan ko paandarin gamit ang stick ng barbeque umandar sya tapos nung nag-auto off kasi medyo lumamig na yung radiator, di na ulit nag-automatic on kasabay ng fan ng aircon. ano po kaya ang problema, carbon brush? salamat po.
