What is the indicated coolant temp on the dash. It is preety cold right now and the fans would not come on in a hurry. Regards Peter

I suspect your stat is stuck open to over colled. Cover 75 % of your rad with cardboard and go for a run if the temp goes up to 80 degrees then that confirms your stat is duff. Regards Peter

thats why your fans dont come on then. your thermostat is probably stuck open, your heater is barely luke warm at best and the coolant just doesnt need cooling down anymore.
