Another  possibility is that the thermal switch is defective.  You didn't  
mention if it's an aftermarket switch or the stock GTV-6 switch that goes  in 
the radiator, but I don't think it matters.  


I also immediately thought the new switch must be defective.  But then  I 
think I recall George tried more than once with the same result.  Almost  as an 
aferthought, he added this trouble began after he had the engine  cleaned.  
That is probably the culprit.  Look for a bad ground or  flaky connection 
revealed when the protective and valuable dirt and grime were  removed.  I also had 
something of a similar situation once on the  passenger-side fan on the GTV6 
which turned out to be a worn out motor  bushing.
 
Good luck!
