the green wire goes the the fan bracket, the radiator thermo/switch closes to supply a return path for the current to flow to earth when up to temprature.

Could it be you have an rvf fan and it's wired differently
It's not having what you want but wanting what you've got....Loud ,Proud and Modified ....
