Default 82deg thermostat and uprated switch KEEPS fan going won't turn off

hello everyone

with the nice weather today i set about removing the bottom radiator hose and flushing all the coolant, its been in there 12 months and i wanted to change to a lower 82deg thermostat and the cossie fan switch from burton power its a 88-77deg switch.

enjoyed doing all the work, cranked the engine, let it idle until the fan kicked in, and it just stayed on, forever. the temp gauge needle was quite low like near the N or O, the engine bay wasn't and roasting as it normally is.

have i done something wrong, this fan just never turned of after like 10 minutes so i just switched the engine off and came indoors as all the light has gone and i can resume tomorrow.

help please on this, do i leave it in or use the other fan switch i still have
