i have a 95 honda civic lx, recently the car statrs to overheat doesnt matter if im driving on the highway or at idle. I noticed that the fan doesnt work anymore, i changed the fuse for the cooling fan in the engine compartment, but still fans dont turn on, im sure this is why the car overheats. The car does loose coolant too. Could the fan relay be at fault? or maybe wiring?

I need help!!

take out your thermostat, and test drive the car to see if the temp drop or not, it should drop, if the temp drop then replace your thermostat and if not it gona be your water pump, before you go and change out you water pump touch the upper and lower radiator hose to see if it hot or not. you said your car losing coolant right? is it over flow out of the reservoir? need more info on this

we get alot of hondas with bad water pumps at my job.. but it is a time consuming job especially for someone who ahs never done it.. and it can be costly at a shop... start off witrh the basics ... get yor fan working ... check your wiring and fan switch... also your thermostat would be an excellent place to start..

when i touched the upper hose it wasnt hot, it was just warm. IM gonna take the thermastat out tomorrow and test it.
