Gen5 Alltrac engine overheating and losing coolant

Anyway, my alltrac started to overheat an then leaked the coolant out, as i examined things beneath my hood i found out that my top radiatior pipe is punctured(no wonder i lost the coolant). As far as overheating goes i believe my thermal switch (the sensor that starts the cooling fan on) is broken so i bought a new one, while i'm at it i got a new oil and fuel filter. I got no trouble with the filters, but my thing is, i can't find the thermal switch. I even took out the intercooler but i can't seem to find a plug-jack that would fit my new switch. The switch by the catalog belongs to my car.

If anyone knows where is the thermal switch on my engine or even has a pictureof it's location, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
The car is 1990 Celica Alltrac, 3S-GTE, ST185, chassis number is JT2ST88P2M0011371

First off, if you have a Croatian ST185, you have a GT4, not a Alltrac.
Alltrac is the US version.

The switch is in your radiator.
Right next to where the lower hose connects to it.
