alright, well i just got done installing a Fluidyne Dual Core All Alumminium radiator into my 00 integra gsr.

i was reading a couple of step by step posts, and it said:

"you put the rad cap on to the FIRST stop and open this bleeder. Run it until no bubbles appear. Stop car, top of rad, start car again, run until fans come on, stop car, and top of radiator one last time."

now, my problem is, i didnt put my drivers side or AC fan back on because it wouldnt fit and i have to order a slim fan.

but my normal fan will not turn on, i let the car idle to normal temp., still didnt turn on, drove it around, still no fan, turned on the heat, still no fan.

also, my maintence light flashes for a bit when i turn my car on.....

please help? is this a big problem? anything helps!

thanks

ok so i only have the pass. or right side fan in. i wouldnt turn on, but i turned the ac on, and it turned on...........

and the car is not overheating

 

Turning the heat on would actually be cooling your engine off, so it's not going to kick on the fan.

 

well i was trying anything. anyone, fan comes on with ac on

 

absoluetly no one will help...... this sucks, someone please help me!!!

would it be the ect switch, water temp sensor, thermostat?

 

someone please!

so do you have any fans in there?
try to hook up the fans that didn't fit. just let them sit there, but plugged in,
let you car warm up and see if any of them turn on
also check your fuses and all connections again

 

ok, i will, one fan is hooked up, the A/C fan is not. but that shouldnt make the other one not work.

can someone give me pictures of where the thermostat, water temp. sensor, and fan switch are?

thanks

 

im sorry. if you heat up the old frying pan, really effing hot, then expect it to cool off really effing fast by waving it in the air like an idiot, or you can run water over it and have a much more effective result.

point is, the fans get hot air out of the engine area, not cool the engine. and now since you have a race radiator, join the club so you dont have to drive slower than 30 mph.
