Unless I'm mistaken, fan should also kick into low-speed immediately when you turn on your air conditioning (if you have it), regardless of engine temp. I have also found that idling the van for a while with the A/C running is the most likely (but not definate) way to cause the high-speed setting to engage for testing purposes. Also, a final note that if the engine gets nice and warm the fan should continue to run for a minute or so _after_ the engine is shut off. I have come across at least one van where for some odd reason the fan switch was wired such that it had current only when the ignition switch was on.
