You can insure that the fan itself is not hitting the radiator by simply spinning the blade with your finger. Other than that you need to test the temp sensor by immersing it in boiling water...not the simple test you are looking for. These engines tend to be over cooled but if you let the engine idle for a while (no air flow) you should be able to get the fans to kick in. I have only had my fans come on in an extremely hot situation.
