I have questions about my stock fans. I wanna make sure I don’t have electrical issues with the fans.

Is it normal for my radiator fan to not come on during initial startup and idle?

Is it normal for my AC fan to stay on even after turning the AC off?

Should the AC fan only come on when the AC is on?

From my gatherings I’ve seen that wether the AC is off or not both fans will come on at a certain temp. Just want confirmation.

If anyone can inform me on how the stock fans on the 2g should operate it would be greatly appreciated!

I dont have A/C so cant comment on the other questions since the a/c fan is hooked to a switch, but my radiator fan doesnt kick on until the coolant temp gets over something like 200 or so.. fan kicks on and brings it down to the low 190's, then turns off and repeats when necessary. Thats considered normal as far as I know.
 
The AC fan only comes on when the ac is on, or the system senses over temperature.

The rad fan comes on when the car gets the specified temp. Should not come on until the thermostat is fully opened and warmed up
