Could new temp sensor be faulty? Can be tested in water with a battery and bulb. Or maybe there is no water / coolant at sensor area caused by airlock / low coolant, so it is not switching in order to tell fan to work.
If air lock - Remove coolant resevoir top up lid and give top rubber hose next to head a good squash with hand until air bubbles stop coming out.
