Default Temperature

The thermostat was not changed, it was the switch in the lower radiator hose that activates the fan. The correct switch was installed, and the coolant was changed at the same time because in order to install the switch, the lower radiator hose needs to be removed. So the only things that were done were to remove the lower hose, replace the defective switch, and change the coolant. The water temperature now runs up to about 200 degrees, but will go higher if the motor is pushed - as high as 230 degrees. The fan now operates properly, but it does not seem to affect the temperature. I hope that this clarifies what was done.
