what about your fuses? did you check those, look in the engine bay for the fuse box.

as far as i remember, on the h22a (non jdm variants) there are two switches - a switch A and a switch B (jdm h22a's just have a switch A) - Switch A is located in the thermostat housing (perhaps the one you replaced?) and switch B is located in the rad hose housing on the front of the engine to the left of the headers.

Switch A - only activates the FAN when the ignition switch is ON
Switch B - activates the FAN when the ignition is off.

unplug the wiring to the switch(s) and jump it (with a piece of wire or something) to see if you can get the fan to switch on - if not you most likely have a prob with the relay, or perhaps the fan itself is kaput. keep in mind - you switch A won't activate anything if you jump it while the ignition is off, but switch B should be able to activate the fan.

hope that helps - all i can remember for now

for the sensors.

the cooling fan module is next to the ecu on the passenger side. but i see some other folks answered that for you in another post...

good luck - let us know how it works out.

haha yea.. i realized later - this picture is from an old thread of mine, titled "official bogging and hesitation thread" - and yea you are right - jdm h22a's don't have that extra switch.
