easy way to test what the switch is actually doing - dunk the sendor (all wired up and with an earth) into large container of boiling water - it should trigger the fan.

borrow your mum's cooking thermometer, leave it in the water a well, and when the fans turn off - check the thermo.

i have a smarmy digital cooking one that i use for testing temp sensors now - ranges up to 130 degree C.

note: some of the lower-temp switching items are used by the:
-heating & air-con systems to know what temp the heating water is at (if the coolant is cold, then it wont expect hot air from it when doing climate control)
-auto transmission ecu, to not engage over-drive or TC lockup until engine/box is warmed up
-ecu to disable performance boosting things vvt, etc until engine is warmed up

cheers,
charles.
