Did you install the same motor?
assuming if your cooling fan isn't working, then see this post... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=56489

This info is needed to know if the car has a seperate cooling fan "timer" unit..
If it doesn't have one, it should be an easy fix...
If it does have one, it will prolly be a nightmare!

another issue that I have recently discovered.. cars that do use a timer unit have the switch on the positive circuit, thus meaning.. power is NOT applied to the fan at all times.. power is applied to the relay when the ignition is in the "on" position, and waits for a response from the timer unit to activate the relay to turn on the cooling fan..
