Radiator fan does not turn on when temp gauge goes up.
I noticed while driving today that my temp gauge would go up to touching the red line briefly and back down to normal again. I turned the heater on and when the needle goes up the air through the vents would blow cold and when the needle comes down the air would blow hot. I turned the A/C on and both fans turn but when I turn the A/C off the none of the fans would turn when the needle reads hot.
I'm thinking I would have to replace the thermostat or relay or sensor. Any thoughts?

Probably the sensor easy to test, if you do need to replace it, don't buy a cheap parts store one
