Front radiator fan - how can force it to run for diagnostics?
I keep hearing (posted about it a few times) a loud fan noise when the car is running hot. I think it might be the front radiator fan making the racket since it only happens sometimes and seems to be temp related. How can I make it run while the car is parked to see if that the source?

when is it turning... can the car do it at idle? does it just sound like a bunch of air moving?
depending on the temp of the car it will turn it on... it has to be by oil temp(i assume). I notice mine the most when i am in stand still traffic and then i get going. it sounds like a dumptruck... it is normal(viscous coupling fan clutch). i have told you this before, anything change?
