2000 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 93456. Miles

2.2 L - Low coolant light comes on & off. I added Dex Coo and itis some how still loosing antifreeze. Last night it overheated that is when I noticed the fan not turning on. By past the fan and it works but when I put in a new switch, it did not notice the moter was getting hot for it to kick on. I have touched the holes from the radiator and it is cool but holes to mortar is hot.

do you have any ideas?
