Um so I have driven my car around for about 50 miles total never getting it above 210, so I thought, ok it's to cold. So today I go out with an infared temp gauge pull the thermo and put fire to it with the ignition on. Nothing, No fan movement, checked power to the fans, got it, I havent checked the fans them selves, but to be sure i was just going to buy a new thermo switch. Any one know what type? or a brand?

The temp switch is a warp switch. As the metel tang heats up it warps and makes contact completing the circuit. In case you don't have one you will want to add a relay to lighten the current. That what fry's them.
