Default cooling fan question.

Hey folks
I have a 94 Lexo GS300. Its my daily driver with over 153,000. And still going!

I have a few a questions for the folks here.
At what point does the aux. fan turn on?

The clutch fan spins, Im sure it does its job. But what about the other 2 small fans? The one in the front of the condensor( outside the engine bay) I know the one for the a/c ( correct if im wrong) the other small one (on the inside of the engine bay) what point does that turn on ? After some highway driving?
Does anyone have a FSM manual online post for free?
hehe its like that with my 2nd gen RX7 but at least I can find one though.

The condensor fan usually works in conjunction with the AC being turned on and if it is a hot day, it will run more.

The auxilary fan should ususally run when you are driving at slower speeds like when sitting in traffic, in town driving etc. At highway speeds, the radiator is cooled more by the steam of air going into the car than anything else. The mechanical fan has a clutch which can sense the heat and will slowdown or speed up as the clutch is engaded. This depends on your driving speed, the heat it senses, etc..
