Again, when you replace the T-stat, you need to bleed the cooling system. I assume you skipped this step.

For troubleshooting purposes, understand that we must presume that you are indeed dummy.

And did you bleed the system exactly as described in the service manual?

With the A/C off, does the radiator fan run when the key is turned to ON(II)? If not, with the A/C on, does the the radiator fan run when the key is turned to ON(II)?

If those are fine, next troubleshoot the ECT and IAT sensor circuits. If all else fails, install a known good ECU.
