first look on the bottom of the oil fill cap and tell me what you see , what does the exhaust look like ? Do that first . check coolant level and start the car see if the fans come on when it gets hot , if those are working then change the thermostat and flush the system , if they don't come on and you did the first things then see if power is getting to the fans , if not check fan relays and coolant sensor , If you do the diagnostics and use common sense you won't spend money on parts needlessly
OK, I can do that, I'll get back to you. May take me couple days. Thank you
How do I check relays, I'm fixen start car and fans. I'll be right back. Oh and looks OK under oil filler cap, tailpipe is black inside.???

then see if the fans come on when it gets hot , sit in the driveway or pull over on the road , don't run it hot you might ruin the motor , if they don't come on you have to see if they're getting power , if you find the relays you can swap one for the other if they are identical and see if that helps . a multi tester would help , the fan blades can get razor sharp so be careful feeling around down there ,
