John, you should repost a message that says "Rad fans not coming on __
Overheating" on BOTH of the newsgroups (alt.autos.honda is the other)
and explain the model, year & mileage of your honda.

I'm not the right person to ask but there's lots of people around here
who know the answer. It may be as simple as replacing one sensor (even
by yourself)
