Just got my CX running and drove it a good 2 and 1/2 hours without the fan kickin on. The temp gauge didn't show it over heating or anything but it was kind of wierd that in all that time (most on the highway) it never kicked on. Was wondering if i should try and jump the fan and just see if it's working or if that was normal and they don't kick on till the engine really gets hot?

 

its winter... too cold for the fan to turn on

 

depends.. if the temp gauge didn't go upp.. there is no need for the fan to turn on LOL. no CEL's? if no ur good.. make it work.. check everything needed. use your book. sensors... fuses... the fan could also be bad < i had this problem sent it back for another one!! fal fan.. they sent me a new one till i could send back the broken one.

 

no the gauge works and it read at normal temp. i thought it might of been because of the weather but just wasn't sure. thanks

 

You know ive got some first hand experience with my civic doing that too. My fan wouldn't come on, atleast where i couldn't hear it. In the end i just couldn't hear my fan coming on. The other half of the time my cooling system just never gets past normal temp. My needle always stays just about 2 ticks below horizontal no matter what the load or how hot it is.
