I can drive the car and the cooling fan doesn't come on, but as soon as I shut the car off the fan starts kicking on and off sporatically. (94 Accord EX)

This is with the car turned off!

I can hear and feel the Cooling Fan Relay switching sporatically, but I have swapped it and its not the relay.

Here is the video.

This is with the CAR SHUT OFF!

Does anyone know where the temperature sensor is located? The one that tells the fan when to start up. Also I had these fans out to replace the rad, but everything is plugged up snug.

Thanks anyone for the help.

I had the same prob after I changed a few hoses that started leakin

The prob........ I had to bleed the air that got in the system....with the car running at normal operating temp open the bleed valve and let all the air out till coolant comes out

that was my prob!

 

I'll definately try that, thank you!!

 

remember open it slightly till it start dripping...........also dont let the car get too hot and refill and reservoir if needed

 

Can you post a picture of this air bleed bolt? I can't find any bolts on the thermostat that looks like a bleeder.

I took the cap off the radiator and started the car, let it run at idle, and turned heat on full blast.

I seen some air bubbles come out, now when I shut the car off the cooling fan is on full. Hasn't shut off yet and its been 5 mins.

Is that normal?

I actually have a bolt missing on the very top of the thermostat.

Thanks again,

Nick

 

Never mind!!

After just leaving cap off at idle to discharge air, now the cooling fan is coming on when idling, and at shut off, comes on full and shuts off after about 5 mins.

Thanks so much for the help!
