ok so i had the prob of my fan not turnin on a couple of days ago, i was told that i could jus jump it at the thermostat housing to see if the fan works at all, well it turned on when i jumped the harness so i bought a new fan temp switch, but after replacing it today the car still runs hot, not too sure what it could be now, any suggestions would help

Bump: cause I have no clue. Check the fuses maybe? If all failes hook it up to a switch.

i checked the fuses, and i wired it up to a switch for the time being until i can find the prob an fix

also i read this somewhere already but when i felt the upper radiator hose it was hot but when i felt the bottom it felt cooler?

ok even after swithin the fan to a switch an keepin it on it still gets hot so that is still not the prob, tomorow i will replace thermostat and fuse relay to c if that helps

Have you checked your coolant levels at all? If i remember correctly from what turbogixxer told me, your thermostat isn't working properly if your lower radiator hose doesn't feel "full" and get hot.

Your Thermostat is not opening causing the Thermostat switch to read wrong.

Correct, it will not feel "full" But it will stay warm/cold (not hot). Basicly your motor sucks from the bottom of the Radiator and feeds coolant back to the top. Your Thermstat is on the bottom hose (on hondas).
