98 DX Cooling Issues
My 98 DX hatch has been having a lot of cooling troubles lately.
The radiator fan won't come on when I'm idle or at a low speed.
It lets itself overheat and I have to turn my car off at drive-throughs and long lights, it's such a pain.
I have replaced the thermostat, fan relay and fan switch. Since replacing those, it got a little bit better but it still does it.
Does this mean the fan itself needs replacing? Can the fan even stick or just only work sometimes as opposed to not at all?
Help!

Re: 98 DX Cooling Issues
- Turn key off and unplug the fan switch located on the thermostat housing.
- Use a paperclip or piece of wire to short the 2P connector for the fan switch.
- Turn key to ON(II).
- Does the fan run?
