Default Re: Cooling fan not turning on

I would next consider testing and/or replacing the coolant temperature switch.
There appear to be two for your Accord. See

http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/AccordM...400/16-103.pdf

especially the first page (component locations) and the last page (the test).

For more general info about your radiator, see
http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/AccordManual/index.html under "Engine," then
"Radiator."

When you go after the coolant temperature switch(es), you might want to replace
the current thermostat with a new, OEM thermostat at the same time. Just to help
bring the whole system "up to date." (Unless of course you know the current
thermostat is pretty new and OEM.) You'll be in the area of the thermostat,
anyway, when you go after the switches.

www.autozone.com likely has more specifics for replacing the switches. Click on
"Repair Guides" on the right, put in your car's info, look under "engine
mechanical" (or similar) for cooling fan info, and go.
