Default Re: Cooling fan not turning on

While my 81 Rabbit was like this, this isn't even remotely true for the
90-93 Accords. There is lots that can cause this problem, even with good

Bill: use google's "groups" search feature, and search this NG for 'accord
cooling fan'

As example here's a thread from someone who got some responses. It wasn't
exactly your problem, but the ensuing discussion explored many of the
components, and some tests to run:

Good luck,
