If you're not loosing fluid then the probable cause is the electric fan sensor which should cut in when the engine temp gets high enough. This is normally fitted to the top or side of the radiator [not sure of position on scoobies]. The easiest test is first to see if the fan will run by disconnecting the two wires from this sensor and connecting them together, the fan should kick in, [or run the engine at approx 2000rpm for 10mins or so until it gets hot enough to get the switch to turn the fan on]. If the fan doesn't run when you use the engine running method then the sensor prob' needs changing, if the fan doesn't run when using the wires connected method then it's a fan fault, may be as simple as a bad/broken connection from fan to frame or broken wire / fuse blown on the feed to the fan. Hope this helps.
