EFProjectHatch

I bought an EF hatch with a b16 swap and the original owner had the rad fan hooked up to a switch next to the steering wheel and i want to hook it back up to the engine. I'm not exactly sure how to do that and every time i google it or look for it in the repair manual i can never find a strait answer. i can post pictures tomorrow.

The fan relay should be on the passenger side fender well behind the headlight. There should also be 2 wires running from it to where the fan is. Those are the wires that the fan should be hooked up to.

I imagine there was an issue with the oem relay or fan switch so the previous owner bypassed it.

What should I do if he removed it? Can I buy a new relay and switch from a parts shop?

I would go to a junkyard.
It's only a 10 mm bolt holding it near the headlight/air filter area.

It depends, is the stock wiring still there? It's a 4 wire relay so there should be a 4 wire plug in that area behind the headlight.

Did you check to see if it was there already?

The guy converted it from OBDI to OBDO.

This is what I found

The black one is your relay. Since it is there what do the wires look like coming from your fan?

There should be a 2 prong connector coming from the wiring harness. Is that one hooked to your fan?

There is a fan switch connecting to the thermostat housing I believe, that should be wired to the fan circuit. If it doesn't turn on on its own, he completely severed the circuit and ran a separate 12v source.

What I did was run a switch but grounded it through the cabin, keeping the original fan switch sensor. Look for that fan switch on the thermostat housing, and re-run wires from that sensor to a constant 12 volt source and ground the other on the fan. That is only if you can't find the original wiring in which case simply disconnect the switch re-connect those.

Good Luck

ON a crx, the fan switch is on the back of the block, above left of the oil filter.

That's correct, for the D16A6 the fan switch is on the back. New D series such as the Z6 has it on the thermostat housing.
