Check to see if the radiator is full of coolant. If not then fill it. Pressure test the system to 16PSI. Check for leaks and repair as needed. Start the engine and let it warm up. At around 235 degrees the cooling fans should come on and stay on until about 195 degrees. If they do not then repair as necessary and repeat the procedure.
