D16Y8 Radiator fan still not running.

Tested the cooling fan switch,cooling fan it self,and swapped out the thermostat. My car doesn't overheat for now but ran the car to running temperature and the fan is still not working.Any ideas??

If you did pull the plug off of the thermostat housing, jumped it, and the fan still didn't come on than your next move is to check the relay in the fusebox and check the fuse while your at it.

How did you test the fan thermo switch to verify that it was good?

If the car isn't overheating, then how do you know you've run it long enough to get hot enough for the fan to kick on?

If the temp gauge went over half way and no fan coming on, then I can see you stating what you are stating. At this point it sounds like the motor hasn't gotten hot enough to kick the fan on.

I used alligator clips on the radiator and attached it to the battery and it ran, second test I did was use a paper clip to hot wire the relay and fan still ran.Then I just swapped out the old thermostat had it running for about 30 min then drove it around the block and onto the freeway but I still yet see the fan kick in after parking.And is the bottom hose suppose to get hot as well??

It worked when I put in a paper clip and put the car on "ON"
