Hi Do you have a bleed valve on or around radiator / radiator pipes. if yes the undo the valve and leave the car running till it bleed. once its bleed, you will have full circulation of the water and both pipes will heat up also the fan will come on. If no bleed valve then undo the water bottle or metal cap. start the car up and leave it running till the fan kicks in. it will only kick in when the system is bled and no more air in the system. Thanks

Is this an automatic or manual transmission? When was the last time you changed the filter if it's an automatic? You may have a valve body problem too.

usually a small flat head screw driver will help you pry open the lens.
