How do I check if my 2007 Kia Rio base model cooling fan works? We are replacing the radiator because of a "bug puncture", but the fan doesn't seem to be running either. Is it suppose to run all the time or just when the car heats up?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Electric engine-cooling fan motors only run when the thermostat opens or coolant temperature reaches a set temperature.
So no, it doesn't run all the time.
edit: to check the operation of the cooling fan, with the radiator fixed, let the car run for 5-10 minutes, this should be sufficient for the engine to heat up and meet the criteria for the fan to start. Just keep an eye on the intrument-cluster for coolant temperature so that it doesn't overheat.
