That would be a solution, but he said at the beginning of the thread that he did not want to do that. (Might have to, anyway.) Hey, now that you know the wiring and how to turn on/off the fan... why not get the relay and wire it in?

The radiator fan switch should be to the left of the oil pressure switch in your pic. There are some pics in these threads.

Oh, and what the hell... here is a guy at Honda Tech suggesting the switch location and wiring harnesses changed from engine to engine across the D15b blocks... also suggests "plugging up" the fan switch port on the block for a guy completing a swap. ... http://honda-tech.com/showpost.php?p...0&postcount=63

Here's a pic I took of a D16A6 in an AWD Civic Wagon at the junkyard.

My D15B2 has the same sensors. I can't understand why some engines wouldn't have the same switch. Maybe some are being broken off while wrestling out an alternator?

Well I don't know what to tell y'all. There's no sign of a switch for the fan on the back of the block next to the oil pressure switch, like all the diagrams would have me believe. Someone cut 2 wires off the factory harness at the back of the block that when wired together keep the fan on full time. I don't know what version of the 1.5 my car has, I just know it is a Canadian model '90 CX, which would be equal to a US model STD. So I am guessing it's whatever the most basic model 1.5 you could get was. I am also guessing that the wires were cut at some point because someone else got confused by this whole deal and wired in a switch when they couldn't figure out what was broken. I can't say I blame them.
