There are two different threads with two different people having trouble with cooling fans. I don't have a problem with either fans in my car..or I might. Both people say the AC fan in their 94 accords are on the passenger side. Shouldnt the AC fan be on the drivers side? I'm assuming AC is short for air conditioning and not something else. I've never heard it called an air conditioning fan before. Always a condenser fan. Am I misinterpreting AC and it means something else? Am I the one with the fans swapped around?

I think your understanding is fine as they all mean the same thing. I usually call them radiator fans, but I understand it just fine when others call them different names like you stated above. I would also take AC = air conditioning.

Cooling fan (Big one) on PS.
A/C fan on DS. Comes on when you turn the air condition ON.

Ok, my confusion has been settled. The other two are gonna have a hell of a time trying to fix their overheating problems though ��

And this is what gets people confused.

If the key is on and the AC is a working system, BOTH fans come on when the AC is on or Thermo A (located on the t-stat housing where the lower hose connects) reaches its set point (~199 by memory).

The ONLY time ONE FAN runs is when the key is off.
