I've been stuck in traffic numerous times on very hot days ( 35 ° + ) and the thermo fans will NOT come on. Surprisingly the temp doesn't pass half way. Also when I turn off the car off the thermo fans still refuse to turn on. Is this normal? Any suggestions please.

If its not reaching a high enough temp theres no reason for the fans to come on at all. Also if the circuit fails the check engine warning will come up on the dash.

If its not reaching a high enough temp theres no reason for the fans to come on at all. Also if the circuit fails the check engine warning will come up on the dash.Yeah, it freaked me out the first time it came on. I got my car in the middle of winter and on some random day in early December, there was this odd vibration and noise. Turns out it was the fans, after moving along a bit instead of being in stop-start it stopped and after it happening on other days, I eventually worked it out, lol.It seems each car is different too. When I was on the Snowy Cruise, my fans never came on even when stopping (low ambient temperature but we were working them hard), as did at least 1 other car. However, other cars the fans would be on and stay on when the ignition was cut. Some only for 30 seconds but one car would stay on for quite a while, at least 60 seconds.
