check the fuse, frst thing you should always do

 

aight....

 

if it's not blown might be your fan relay. mine was the fuse though.

 

I believe you need a BIGGER RADIATOR for your HB if your have a b18c motor. thats if you didnt change your stock radiator. My brother swapped a b20 in his 92 HB and he was overheating even though his radiator fan was working and stuff. He put in a dual core radiator and now his heat gauge just sits at middle, no overheating. Thats if u didnt do it already.

 

if your car has over heated before you probably just burnt the fan switch it goes on the left side of the block you can buy it at your local auto part store.My fan just stop work like that too and thats what it was for me

 

fuse isnt blown....havent checked fan relay yet. thanks. How can i check if relay is bad besides just replacing it? Oh..and where would the fan switch be on the block?
