radiator fan not turning on....what to check?
98 civic w/ 98 LS B18B1
no A/C
Just realized today my fan doesn't come on when the engine warms up. I was sitting in traffic and my temp gauge was rising past half way, it got about almost 3/4 of the way up and I shut the car off. One I start moving everything is fine, stays constant at about 1/4 way. I just got the car recently so I'm guessing its never worked since I got it.
Let me know what to check
Thanks ahead of time

you might want to check you thermostat.. it cost like 15 bucks for a new one.. if that doesnt work then it might be your connection to fan or check the the coolant temperature sensor.. but first try the thermostat make sure to drain the coolant first when the car is cold.
