Default '99 A6 2.8 ECT Question

I replaced my Aux Fan and Fan Control module today. The old one locked up and burned out the Fan Control module.

The fan now works (quietly thankfully) when I dial my climate control down to 'lo'. When I turned the climate control off, the fan stopped.

My question : Outside of this scenario, should the Aux Fan be turned on at a certain coolant temperature? I read the tech forum article and it appears the ECT should turn on the fan at low speed at a certain temp.

Thanks!

Frank

Aux fan is always on when the AC is on. Otherwise aux fan is controlled by coolant temp.

Thanks.

Any idea as to what temperature the fan kicks in?
