I-4 or V6?
just checked temperature where you live it is 14F :) why should they come on?
How high does the temp needle rise? Do you have thermometer for the kitchen? if yes then tie it around the upper radiator hose wait till the needle on the thermometer reaches close to 200 F at that point coolant inside will be bit higher temp maybe close to 212 F that is when fans usually come one.
If you have time test ect sensor for resistance vs temp and compare it to specs. But if you don't have problems with engine starting I would assume ect is OK.
