Brushes are usually the culprit. Put fan speed on high and thump the blower housing firmly w/ your hand. If the fan comes on, bad brushes are confirmed. If not check the wiring to insure you have power to the fan motor.

good luck

Check the fuse. Then the fan switch. Then the fan-speed resistor pack. Then the motor. Got a multi-meter & a wiring diagram?

Fan motors cannot be easily repaired by DIY. I tried once and actually managed to repair one, but it only lasted a few months. The commutator needs to be turned in a lathe to get a perfectly round surface for the brushes to contact, and you probably need to replace the oiled bronze bushings (i didn't do this). In any case, a used or rebuilt fan motor is a better option. Check ebay for both options.

These motors are over $200 from Honda. They are fine motors, but not worth that kind of price.

good luck
