Answer
fans will not come on until engine temp reaches approx 240 degrees.

temp sensor is to the right of the throttle body and EGR valve as standing in front of vehicle.

cooling fan relays (3) are located on a bracket connected to te fuse block on the right side fender area as you are standing in front of the vehicle. There are 4 relays on the bracket. the one closest to the fender is the RAP relay and the other 3 are fan relays.
