Alright so ever since I got my 5spd swap I've somewhat recently noticed that the radiator fan NEVER comes one, so I wired a switch to it for now. I also notice my car must have something different going on with the cooling system, I say this because the car runs almost completely cold while on the highway, like by C, and normal 1/4 driving on streets or idling, its definatly way to drastic of a change.
I am thinking (but have little knowledge of the tegs cooling system) some wire got cut somewhere that has to do with coolant bypass to say mabye the intake manifold or some other part thats causing the car to run alot cooler, but might be why the radiator fan isen't switching on also?

I do know that the thermostat works, just by draining coolant and letting it idle topped off till it sucked it down because the thermo opened up.

Any ideas, or troubleshoots I can look into?

 

as far as the fan check your fan switch.change the thermostat, its easy and you'll be sure thats not the problem.

It sounds like that the thermostat is stuck open. I recommend removing the T-stat and inspecting it. The valve should be closed(cold).

And, the reason that your cooling fan does not work is due to your vehicle never reaching normal operating temp. I bet at a complete stop rev the vehicle off idle until the temp gauge gets off way(operating temp 180F degrees) and the fan will come on.

Thats not the case, if let idle too long or in traffic too long I begin to overheat, almost did once or twice before I realized and wired a switch to the fan

 

Up again please..

 

Thanks to arturbo I found the culprit, if I jump the harness to the ect switch the fan comes on. The ect switch is bad. H-t is too good to me, thanks guys!
