is that a heat up and open switch?
you can unplug the switch, and the fans should turn on. OEM was designed this way in case circuit to switch failed.
other way is to pull the sensor, and dump it in hot water.. it may not get hot enough straight away, so either letting warm up in container of just boiled water, and then pouring hot water over it may do the trick, OR use heated oil (like cooking oil) but be frickin careful...
then check for continuity between switch and engine block when switch is installed and cold (since it has to conduct to turn the relay on to open circuit to make fans stop...)
or just let motor idle while watching temp gauge, and seeing when they turn on.
