My 92 Civic runs hot because the fan doesn't work. I jump wired the radiator
fan off the condenser fan plug and the radiator fan works; so it's not the
fan. What else could stop the radiator fan from working? Is there a sensor
for this? If so, where is it located and how do I check it?

Thanks,
Al

Bad boy, Al.


If your car has no fan switch relay (like the '91s), go here:

Your switch is bad. Easy replacement, and cheap. The one in the pic has had
its connectors repaired on account of a ham-fisted oil change by me eleven
years ago.

If it *does* have a fan switch relay, try here:

Oh yeah......I did exactly what you said from your website. It was the
thermo sensor. The fuses and relay stuff was easy to check. So the last and
the hard part was that sensor. I replaced it and bingo! The fan came on.

You're the man TeGGer!

Thanks,
Al
