Default b16 eg fan works but wont come on

95 hatch with b16a2 swap. my car doesnt over heat or sun hot. but with it starting to get warmer I wanna make sure it stays that way. I noticed the entire time ive owned this motor (been in 5 cars) the fan has never come on.

I tested the fan on a battery and it works fine, I then unplugged the plug on the rear coolant line housing and jumped it with a wire, I turned my key on and the fan came on. why wont it come on while im driving? I am running a thermostat and im running coolant and water wetter.

Your jumper wire test proves that you can fix the problem by replacing the coolant temperature switch on the thermostat housing.

Yes, your switch is bad. You should be able to get a replacement from your local auto parts store. You could also get the genuine Honda part from Majestic Honda for about $33 (not including shipping).
