i have a 98 civic dx that overheats. I already replaced the radiator, the therm, and the radiator cap. My radiator fan isnt turning on... ever.

when i push the temp lever to "red," i only get cold air..

please help... this is my commuting car for work and is really irritating me.

TIA

See if replacing the fan switch will turn the fan on.

is that the one in the engine bay fuse box?

Should be # 12

Well, you answered your own question as to why your car is overheating. Now, either find out why your fan isnt turning on (ie get a new fan or fan switch) or just run a switch to your car to turn your fan on manually.

This is Hatchy-OwnzJo0, not Archidictus. Just thought I'd clarify.

Test the fan and if it works and the fuse is good, it's the relay.

use temp gun to run over hoses to look for signs of clog. sounds like a clog somewhere near heater. did you try a flush

i know that i took the car in for a pressure test a couple weeks ago and it was fine. also the radiator has been replaced. dont know about the flush though.. i dont think that was done

Did you test the fan to see if it works??

dopey423

when i took it in the mechanics told me all the fans were working fine. sorry but i dont know how to test the fan myself....

Basically you would supply power to the fan.
