Just finished an engine change and am a little concerned about a couple things.
Car is a 1994 dodge colt. I pulled an engine out of a 93 colt but kept the intake manifold from the 94 mostly for the egr valve.

1. I've yet to see the fan run, the car still warms up to just under half way on the temp gauge like it always did, and he top rad hose still doesn't seem to be getting warm.
The two heater hoses to the firewall get really warm and I've seen steam from the bottom one. I've checked the fan ,relay and fuse all passed. Wonder if the thermostat is shot

2. There is a switch on the firewall for when the hood is opened that when i raise the hood the front signal lights flash on and off or sometimes just stay on.

I've been at this mess for 2 weeks and am open to suggestion. Thanks to anyone who can help.
