   Doubt al you wabnt. But the Circuit was designed so the Engine Bloc   
   kTemperasture has Priority and should always run the fans no mater what   
   the other sensors dictated.   
      
   IF the Fans did not run when the engine cooling water reached the Set   
   Temp for fan activaqtion there WAS a fault in the system
