92 degrees is the operating temperature of the thermostat. If the fan is not cutting in then you need to check for a blown fuse, or a loose relay in the engine compartment. HTH :y

Well to be honest it may have been a bit shy of 92 degrees but not much, maybe somewhere between 90 and 92, should the fans only come on when the temp gets to 92 degrees then?

I would imagine there will be a margin either side of 92 degrees to be honest, but if yours only just reached 92, then I would not be unduly worried at all. If on the other hand, the temp. goes beyond 95 & still no fan, then I would be exploring further. :y
