Test the thermostat if okay -check and test the coolant temperature sensor or the engine temperature gauge switch computer might not be picking up its input signals therefore not activating the fan relay to fire up the fan motor. I don't blame her-she might forget about it and end up draining the battery then you're in big time trouble Why not tie it in on an ignition switch power
