I have a stock 95 civic auto trans. Can pls. someone tell me how to tap the radiator fan switch so it would be on everytime. My car is overheating everytime I go in a highway and my mechanic told me just tap the radiator fan so it would not overheat again. Is it a good Idea to do that? Im going to San Diego this weekends and If I tap the radiator fan do you guys think it still going to overheat? pls. help me.

it could just be that you are low on coolant and check your oil level. if your radiator fan isn't on then is it even working? check the fuse under the hood

I just did my oil change, and coolant ist low. I Just want to jumped the switch so it will always be on. I will be driving 2hrs LA to SD so I dont want the car to overheat.

I would fix the overheating problem and not try to band aid the situation.

Are you losing coolant? Is the thermostat and radiator cap working? Have you topped off and bled the cooling system?

Jumping the fan switch:
This should only be done if the radiator fan does not run when the engine is hot. Unplug the 2P connector of the fan switch located on the thermostat housing and then install a jumper wire across the two terminals of the connector. The fan should now run whenever the key is in ON(II). If so, replace the switch so the fan does not run all of the time.

Warning: You can permanently destroy your engine by letting it overheat.
