Cooling Fans ?

Here's my question.
I do not remember my cooling (radiator) fans ever coming on.
When I turn the A/C on, one works but I don't recall ever seeing the other work.
Is there a simple test to see if it's operable?
Note: I have the 1.6L SOHC.<p>Thanks

let the car sit and idle.<p>When it hits 2/3rds of the way up it should have kicked on by then if not flip her off and let her cool back down.

I noticed that too and i told my mechanic to look at it and he told me that the one that doesnt come on until it gets dangerously hot. its basicly a emergency fan.

yup yup.. if your in a cooler climate i doubt it would come on much the stock cooling system seems rather to work fairly well
