Lightbulb Electric cooling fan not coming on.

Recently I replaced my water pump because it was leaking antifreeze. I have noticed my electric cooling fans not coming on.
The temperature outside is 37 degrees.
If I let my truck idle for 15 minutes the temperature of the engine is 199 degrees and the electric fans still don't come on.
when I turn on the ac the compressor is running and the cooling fans still wont come on.
I purchased a new electric fan when i put in the new water pump.

What temperature does the electric fans come on?
Would the fans come on with the ac On?
When I unplug the temperature sensor the electric fan comes on?

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am stumped on this one.

thanks in advance
Troy

It's working normally. The fan turns on at 210 and with AC (normally), but being that cold it may leave the fan off for AC.
