Exclamation fan problems

first let me say exesue my grammer,
with that said, ok i did a b20 swap in my del sol and the cooling fan did not turn on, jumped my switches to see if the fan turned on and to my surprise it did, so i know that the fan works, next i replaced the thermastat beacuse the temp was high in the upper hose was at 220f and the bottom was at 160f and the fan still didnet turn on what could the problem be ? and how can i fix it ? if i was to change the cooling switch what switch would i chage it to that would fit and turn it on at the lowest temp.

Just get an OEM replacement switch from the B20 motor. So you would need a fan switch for a CRV. Leave the switch jumped for now so you dont overheat the engine.

Test drive with the switch jumped and the fan running all the time. If it still overheats something else is wrong.

Doubtful.

Yes, the ECU will turn the CEL on if the car starts to overheat.
