Cooling fan will not shut off

I hope someone will help me out with this one. I have a 1993 handa civic with a b16a1. the cooling fan will not turn off when the car is running. I have pulled out the relay to the fan and the fan dose turn off just fine. It's the middle of winter now I think it's time to fix it help plz

Re: Cooling fan will not shut off

Locate the thermo-switch that controls the radiator fan, unplug it and see if the fan shuts off.
If the engine is a transplant, someone may have just wired it to run the fan continuously.

Side note,
You are in AZ, and you have a car with a European engine?

From Wiki:
B16A1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTEC
Found in:
- European Market Civic'1.6 DOHC VTEC(EE9)
- European Market CRX'1.6 DOHC VTEC (EE8)

Fan switch could be in the thermostat housing, could be on the back of the block above the oil filter area, might be someplace else IDK.
