Default car still runnin hot,fan wont turn on!

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

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).
