Coolant gauge not working after swap..fan not turning on
i did a d15b vtec swap this weekend and my wiring harness had some corrosion on it, the plug that goes on the side of the head that is just a one wire plug broke and fell on the ground with a bunch of other **** and i cant find it, is this the cooant temp sensor and the signal to turn on the fan???

yes it is the temp sender...no it does not turn on the fan. on your original engine the fan switch is on the back of the block with two bullet terminals..i believe the vtec engine the switch is on the t-stat housing with a different style connector small round two wire

Badway is right!! I just did a D15-b installation, and the connection for the fan is on the termostat housing. What I did is resodered the wires off my harness to the connector on the housing, and it worked perfect... Hope this helps..

doesn't matter which goes where. the switch only closes the circuit ie:connects the wires together when the temp is up to turn on the fan

and, the 2 wire connector on the end of the head is the coolant temp sensor for the ECU
