It is not under the Vtec solenoid... Your can located the Coolant temp Sending unit on Thermostat housing.

You can always hot wire the fan to stay on.. but jumping the 2 wires together.

That is also a engine coolant sensor.. The ecu uses that one.. The fan uses the one on the water neck at the thermostat .

ECT- Engine Coolant Temp sensor is on passenger side of head, 2 pin connector
Thermo Fan Switch is on the t-stat housing.

I pin sensor next to ECT is for the gauge cluster
