Ok, I was going to jump the two wires together that go to the thermo-switch...this is strange, the radiator in my car has two of these thermo-switches, one on each side of the radiator. Only one is connected (the one next to the bottom rad hose)

I know this is not the radiator that came with my car, I replaced the original one about three yrs ago.

Hmmmm....
Ever see a radiator in a CRX that has two of these switches? or am I tripping?

And...should I just ignore the other one? (yeah, just ignore it and maybe it will go away! lol)
Ok, that was suppose to be funny...ahem blink.gif
The more I learn, the less I know.

I believe mine has a similiar wiring connector on the drivers side that I have always just assumed was there for if the car was built as a RHD model, I've never noticed an actual thermosensor on the drivers side of mine(?). I jumpered just the one on the passenger side to check and eventually wired in a switch so I can turn it on when ever I choose to. I would start with just the passenger side one first!
