Hey folks, first off- sorry if this should go in drivetrain. Wasn't sure, since it isn't part of the drivetrain but certainly helps keep it cool!

Recently, just before moving to Colorado I got an electric fan installed on the front of my radiator to supplement the mechanical fan that was already in place. I have serious cooling issues in traffic because of the mechanical fan and the electric fan was meant to alleviate that. On the way to Colorado, my father and I noticed issues with cooling sometimes and we pulled over with the car running at about 190 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Popping the hood, the fan hadn't kicked on at all and wasn't even running when the car was idling in place. It is thermostat operated- I do not know the model or type of fan nor do I know what temp the thermostat is designed for. What issues am I looking at? Where do I start looking? I can provide pictures tomorrow of the setup when it's daylight again- but unfortunately it's already dark out at 5 PM here.

Thanks in advance guys- just a few ideas to get me looking in the right direction will help me immensely.
