you are missing your ground on your thermostat housing, either that or the tranny is grounded in the wrong place or your ground is not touching.

you said your relay is clicking? And it usually needs to be grounded on the motor. I had a friends car where they tried to ground the thermo ground on the chassis and it didnt work out.

Somebody should shoot you. You didn't think it important to mention right off the bat that you did a wire tuck? I bet you your wipers not working is also due to the shoddy tuck job.
