just to make sure that we are talking about the same thing, do you mean the 2 electric radiator fans just behind the horn and in front of the radiator?

if yes you can follow the manual to find the radiator fan connector, unplug them then using 2 wires to connect directly to your battery to see if they work (each fan at a time). it might e the easiest way to make sure those fans are still good

be sure you disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the battery before working on the car

by the way, is your car running hot? the water temp gauge should stay in the middle if normal, if higher your engine may be running into problem

if its the case for the temp gauge, nothing to worry about

Your temp gauge is perfectly normal. If you count the marks starting from the lowest mark (meaning count mark "C" as one), the needle should sit slightly above the 3rd mark on a hot summer day with A/C on sitting idle in traffic.

Per the manual for a 1992...

This vehicle is equipped with two electric cooling fans to help cool the radiator. When the air conditioner compressor is operating, the fans operate slowly, and when the radiator temperature increases, the fans operate rapidly to help cool the engine.
