The stock cooling fans don't turn on until a REALLY hot temp if i'm correct.

Sounds like the relay might be bad. There are two- one that will turn it on depending on temp, the other one turns them on regardless of temp when the A/C turns on..

Yep....my relays went out and I had No fans at all, not even when I turned the A/C on. I'd definitely check those relays if I were you.

I didn't even bother changing mine though,.....I installed a Manual Fan Switch instead.
