If your gauge isn't working, I'd try the thermostat first.
If it's a two-wire thermostat, you might be able to bridge the wires and force the fans to come on. I've done this on a civic- not sure how well it applies on an elantra- so you're taking your chances if you try this.
Also, check the electrical connector that plugs into the fans- these tend do get brittle and the little clips that hold them in place break off.
