Have you found a factory service manual yet? They have schematics in them.

That tells me that you haven't reached the threshold temp of the switch. A thermostat opens at a lower temp than a fan switch, or else the fan would run all the time whenever there was coolant flowing through the radiator.

Here, download the 92-95 Civic service manual. There are schematics and troubleshooting flowcharts inside. That should be all you need.

You should be able to find out exactly what it's doing with a factory service manual and a multimeter.

Have you checked your fan fuse for corrosion? This happened to me in my 94 integra. Drove me crazy. Even with a multimeter it was VERY difficult and time consuming to find. I suggest you get a meter and have some idea of what you are doing... You can start at the fuse panel under the hood. If you have power there, just go down the line until you find something without power and you will find the problem by process of elimination. It really is easy if you have the right tools... GL
