Power steering cooling fan

Can anyone tell me when The power steering fan should come on. I just replaced my pump and figured I would replace the fan at the same time. Power steering nice and quiet, but not sure how to test fan or should it be running when the car is running. I have a 2005 R50
Thanks

If functioning properly, it will activate when the A/C is turned on.

^^ yep, thats a good test and take a look under there and also make sure it spins freely, sometimes the grille can get bumped into the blade or junk in between the blade and the motor itself, like dirt and rocks.
