Question Radiator fan... Suck or Blow??

Hi all.. The previous owner put a manual switch on the rad fan and made a total mess of the wiring.. the manual switch works, but it makes the fan PUSH the air towards the front wheel.. The fan is mounted correctly on the engine side of the radiator, but should it push the air against direction of travel? all the cars ive worked on had the fan suck air from the front of the vehicle towards the engine.. My first big honda so not sure on how they do things.

Thanks!

It's supposed to pull air through the radiator.
Just switch the wires on the fan and it will go the other way.
