Problem with Cooling Fan, Radiator Fan (water pump, timing belt change)
I have a 96 civic LX, I got my timing belt changed along with the water pump. after it getting changed the mechanic said that my fans don't work, he said it could be because its cold outside, he also said check the water pump for any leaks. I've also read that it could be a fuse, but does anyone here know what fuse it is?
thanks in advance.

just check both (underhood and underdash) fuse box's. Check the wires that go to the fan and that the ect sensor is hooked up.

Re: Problem with Cooling Fan, Radiator Fan (water pump, timing belt change)
I don't have the cover for the underdash fuse box it got ripped out. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to engine work and stuff, I don't even know how to check the water pump for leaks, I know it suppose to be attached to the side of the engine but I don't even know where to locate it. Anybody with help?

When my fan didn't come on I had a bad sensor. Its the sensor where your thermostat is. I do not know what its called [maybe coolant temp sensor?]. As soon as I replaced that my car stopped overheating at idle and the fans kicked on like normal.

Re: Problem with Cooling Fan, Radiator Fan (water pump, timing belt change)
okay, cool I have some progress now, so pretty much there are 3 options of what the problem can be..
1) Bad Cooling Fan Relays, replacement?
2) Bad Cooling Fan temperature switch?
3) Bad Coolant temp sensor?
can anybody help me narrow this down?
thanks alot for the help!

Re: Problem with Cooling Fan, Radiator Fan (water pump, timing belt change)
right now if you live in seattle washington I don't think your coolig fan is going to run its just to dam cold out there. Hell even in the middle of summer it takes 5 or 6 mins to have the fan run if the car is parked. If you are not overheating I wouldn't worry about it now. The only thing I could think of to test it would be to park the car in a heated area that is in the 70's then run the car until it is up to temp and watch to make sure it doesn't over heat and the fan turns on MAKE sure to vent the exhuast gas outside
