Electric Fan Not Working

How warm does the temperature have to get before the electric fan will kick on? How does it work?
I'm not sure mine is working, but I don't know. My car runs around 185-195 consistantly and it is fairly cool weather. I just flushed and filled it with coolant yesterday and was watching the temp and coolant level as i filled it and once it got to 200-205 and I noticed that the electric fans never kicked on.
Is there a temperture sensitive switch somewhere that goes bad?
What is the best/easiest way to check the fan out? I know I can test the fan motors easy enough by just running a hot wire to them, but what about them kicking on and off as needed? How do I check that?
 


fans wont come on until like 226 degrees...you can turn on the ac to see if they work, also there is a coolant temp sensor is what controls them....
 
I turned the A/C on and they came on, I think they are fine. My car just hasn't seen 214/226. Thanks guys
