today i changed out my radiator and after that my cooling fan would not work. so i jumped the fan switch /sensor plug and left it constant but i can not figure out what went wrong when i changed out my radiator, cause the fan was working perfectly fine before i swapped to a brand new radiator

any help would be helpfull

is the car overheating?

let it idle for about 20-30 minuets (or till the fan comes on or it starts to overheat)
if it overheats somthing is wrong but i have a feeling your just not letting it idle long enough.

Maybe it's the thermo switch.

well you didnt say that.

do you have a multimeter?
if you do check for resistance between the coolant temp sensor.
