Default 95 EJ1 Radiator Fan Does Not Come On... Help Please

Just like the topic says. I have jumped the fan motor and it works, replaced the thermostat and also the relay in the fuse box. After driving my car, i look into the overflow reservoir and its almost completely full. During my drives i always have the heater on full @ #2 setting and have also flushed the radiator as well. Oh and also i have checked the fuse in the engine bay and its still good. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

maybe it doesnt need the fan does it overheat.... the fan on my roomates crx almost never turns on just because the rad itself is sufficient cooling, and when it does its middle of summer sitting in traffic

Before i had a dual core radiator, and well... after a long story i ended up with a very slim aluminum (looks aluminum) radiator. I burped the system before. I remember jumping the fan switch too and hearing the relay click, but i also jumped the fan switch the first time and had the grounding wire slip off and saw a huge *** spark. That's when i went ahead and replaced the relay.

I tried searching for that part on slhonda and hondapartsdeals, does anyone know the p/n for the fan switch?

does it overheat?.....I have the same car and the fan almost never comes on, I have no a/c condensor so alot of air hits the engine so maybe that's the way it cools itself off and hardly never needs the fan

See the thing is the person that had the car before me had gay indiglo gauges and when i took them off the thermo needle snapped off. The front bumper is completely open and i even have some front end damage so air is traveling through the right corner. Air flow is not a problem haha... fucked up car.

Can't tell because the needle is broken, but the overflow is always full.

Unfortunately i dont have the necessary tools for that i would imagine. Probably better off if i just start off by buying a new one first and if that doesnt work then buy a new fan switch.

Why not actually figure out the problem instead of shut gunning it and just replacing everything.

Why not test the fan switch and see if that fixes it, there are instructions some where on here on how to jump it correctly.
