Default Honda accord 1990 DX condenser fan question

Hi there,

My AC is kaput. So the condenser fan is off all the time. My question is:
If possible:
1. HOw could I rewire the condenser fan so it works simultaneously with the raditor fan?

2. Could I replace the radiator fan with the condenser fan? since the radiator fan is getting old?

3. Since I don;t plan on fixing the AC, could I remove compressor, condenser and everything related to AC, with no big of a problem?

Cheers

1. Your car is already wired for both cooling fans to operate at the same time. When the engine coolant temperature is above 194 degrees at the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Switch A (located on the thermostat housing), both fans are suppose to run when the ignition switch is ON.

As a test to see it, if you unplug the electrical connector for ECT Switch A and jump it with a small paper clip or wire, then turn the ignition switch to ON; both cooling fans should run.

2. The motors for the A/C condenser fan and radiator fan are different. I suppose if you modified it, you can get it to work.

3. You can delete the A/C if you want. But, easier to just leave it. The following are instructions for a 6th generation Accord; but, similar concept.

Apply direct battery power to the condenser fan motor to see if the fan motor is completely burned out. If the fan doesn't come on you simply need another fan motor.
