Default radiator issues/questions

So im having issues with my radiator fan not coming on

The fan itself works i checked it by hardwiring to the battery

My fan was/is hardwired to come on with the ignition

Im wondering if i switch my thermostat housing to the y7 one and wire up the sensor wwill this solve my problem

Or what else would i be able to do to solve this issue

Btw d16y7 in std civic running obd0

ground wire on fan to frame

power wire on fan to a switch

another wire from battery to the other tab on the switch

so you can make the fan work when needed and when its cold you can have it off to help the car warm faster

Using a 92-00 thermostat cover should work assuming your wiring is good. Chances are the sensor is out of range.

Ah I see the big picture now.....Yeah if you've double checked your wiring and no open wires or connections open then that would be my next step.

You don't have to buy one from autozone. Honda pretty much used the ame relay for everything.

the fan switch is a thermo switch you can test its functionality with a multimeter and a lighter just heat it up from room temp. and watch to see if it switches on your multimeter

not unless you forget to turn it on on a hot day.....buddy of mine blew the head off of his ae86 race car that way....pretty funny considering all the engineering he had in that car that he never put a thermostatic fan switch on there
