has anyone had this problem b4?? where their cooling fan switch connector has bad contact??
this is a 95 del sol base model that im working for my friend.
he's cooling fan wasnt coming on so i checked the switch with a dvom and its getting signal and doing its job. we then piggy back the switch to the connector and the fan came on.
im just wondering if n e one else had this problem b4?
the fuses are good, relay is good, ground's good. switch is good.
its the connector from the engine harness to cooling fan switch in thermo-stat housing.

 

Is the car overheating?

 

only if it's parked at idle for a long time.

 

It could be the wiring too, I had a similar problem and it turned out the wiring was bad so it was bypassed and now the car does not overheat.

 

thats what i did atm, but the owner is very maticulas about his vehicle, so i was just wondering if n e one else had this problem b4?
i'll go to pick and pull and get another connector and post back the update.

 

Bad terminal tension is a common cause for electrical failures. How did the connector look on the inside?

It could also be a broken wire between the switch and connector.

 

Curious - how did you test the switch?
There isn't much to a connector. If it's not making contact then you should be able to get in there with a tiny screwdriver and pry on the metal to create a better contact.
I would try OHMing the connector out as the wiring may have broke internally.

 

we used jumper wires to extend it out from the switch then plug it into the harness connector, thats how i know the switch is good. *fan came on when i did this*
we aslo did ohm test on it .003 when motor was hot. which tells me its working *according to allData*
so why i'm asking have n e one else had this problem b4??
i've owned 4 civic's b4 and never have i had this problem b4 so is it just my luck to come across this??

 

I had an issue with the plug getting old and it would not stay connected... It plugged in and snapped into place but it was wiggly and wouldn't always make good contact. I just went to the salvage yard and got a switch from a newer integra and used that. Not sure if your problem is similiar but made me think back to when I had an issue like that.

 

thats what my problem is atm CRXTION, i'll go to pick and pull monday and update u all when im done.
it connects in place and snaps in place but it dont have contact. i think there is a break in the connection in the connector to the switch.

 

Good glad I could be of assistance... Please let me know how it turns out. I pulled mine off of a grey plug integra and it hasn't been a bother since then. Good luck... Make sure you solder though because butt connectors look like duke under the hood.

 

solder and shrink wraps a must for me, im going to try and take the rubber out from the back side of the conector first and see if i can fix it that way, if not, im off to pick and pull monday to get me another connector.
i'll let u all know on monday if i was able to fix it or get had to get another connector.
thanks alot once again HT community.
