Radiator fans stopped working
So I had a coolant leak recently and took the opportunity to change the radiator and coolant hoses. Since doing so the radiator fans don't seem to come on. I've checked the connection and all seems fine. Anything I might of missed upon swapping over?

Thanks in advance.

at the moment with the curent temp and usual driving the airflow would be sufficient to cool down the rad without the fans hence it be unlikely for them to come on.
Have you noticed temp gauge raising to red or boiling over rad???
if yest then you have done something wrong if not then the above should apply.

I was under the impression that with the AC on the fans would kick in, however I could be wrong!
There was a rise in temp for about a minute and then it dropped back, that only happened once and I think it was down to an air lock in the system which I now think I've sorted.
The only notable thing with the rad is that it was a little steamy once I got to work today. Not overheating or anything else, just a bit of steam coming off..
