i have changed the engine temp sensor today as there was no reading on the gauge but fan worked as it should do

now the gauge is working but there is no fan. i tried bridging the fan switch and fan will work doing this. also tried new fan switch but fan still does not kick in when it should i have even tried ignoring gauge and checking if fan comes on b4 pipes go rock hard but nothing at all any1 help us out with this please any suggestions?

the temp gauge and the fan switch are not linked but the fan should come on when the guage says 100.

did you flush the radiator when you replaced the fan switch, the water may not be circulating around the whole radiator
