i need to find it asap so i can jump it so that my fan will stay on while the car is on since it don't come on at all......thanx

oh and i have a 91 crx hf with an ls motor

 

what year ls 90-91or 92-93 ??? and how do you know it is the fan switch.?

 

its a 93 and i hooked the fan straight up to the batt and it worked but when i drive it doesn't come on at all fuse is good there could be an open or short to ground some where but i don't have the time right now and i jus want it to come on when i drive because when i get stuck in traffic its starts to over heat

 

why don't you just connect it normally and not have to worry about it....it's not that hard.

 

it doesn't turn on thats why i need to jump the fan switch

 

i did it on my crx with a d16y8 the switch on teh y8 is different then the one on the a6 so all i did was leave the fan plugged in then took the 2 wires that are suposed to plug into the back of the block on the a6 and ran then to a switch simple work great when u think the engine needs a little cooling flip the switch ask any questions u wanna know ill try to help

 

yeah thats my plan b cuz i don't wanna put in any switches right now i'm moving and i really don't have anywhere to move to so i'm jus packin and i need my car to be running right or at least till i can get a place to give me some time

 

Two items: has it never come on, or do you not catch it coming on? I'm down here in Miami and only after I've been beating on it for a while does it come on. If it doesn't ever come on though, you'll have to replace the relay which likes to go bad with age.

 

it never comes on so in need to jump it or the switch but i just need to locate it

 

Just replace the relay, it's a pocket piece from the Pick+Pull.

 

i don't have time for that i have to fix it now while its in my driveway

after today it wont be my driveway

 

Oh...well then.....two options.
- It's the winter, it's nippy out, you won't overheat unless something is mechanically wrong. Worry about it come spring.

- Run the power line of the fan to a 12 volt switched line, that way it's only on when the car is on. Remember proper fuse usage, pretty much all you have to do is bypass that relay.

 

yeah all need to know is the location of the relay or the fan switch or both

 

dude there are 2 wires coming out of the fan run one to ground usually the black on and the other one to a switch taht is coming off of 12v i have this on my car, just put a switch in the car.....

from the switch tere will be 3 inputs one from 12v from battery then the ohter wire is from the fan, then you have to ground the switch .... those are the 3 wires to the switch then jsut ground the fan to the healght bolt or somethign!

 

get the switch from like pepboys or somethign

 

yeah i know bout that but i have $44 to last me till i don't know when

 

If you're on such a limited budget don't fudge with it for now. It's still winter, you have time. That money could be better spent on putting food in your mouth.

hes right if you dont have the money the cold will cool it down a bit... just watch the temp guage and if it starts to get to hot pullover and grab somethign to eat while you car cools down or grab a slusheeeeee!

 

On a D series the thermo switch is next to the oil filter. it is screwed into the block with two wires coming out. connect the two together and wala running circuit when key is on, but the part is only 15.00 bucks at auto-zone. ... thermo fan switch

 

yeah i'll do what i can do even tho its cold if i get caught in traffic its starts to run hot its dark now so if i can still live here i'll mess wit it tomorrow

 

Seriously though, you shouldn't overheat. I drove around oblivious to the fact my fan didn't work all through the summer hear, it was only till one day in September I tried to remember the last time I heard it.

 

if the fan isnt working, you shouldnt be in traffic at idle. even in a cold day. you CAN overheat, and if you do, its very bad, not worth the risk of not having a properly operating cooling system.

you can make a simple switch by taking out the big boot in the back of the engine block, near the oil filter. thats the coolant sensor for the fan. it has 2 prongs. you can bypass the sensor by splicing a ground to one of those wires. if you add a switch inline with your ground wire, its a manual radiator fan switch. if you do it right, the radiator fan will operate like normal when you dont have it switched on.

 

is that the way i can have the fan on only while the car is on because that what i want

 

Yeah man
