98 Acura CL 2.3L - Engine Cooling Fan issue
I just completed a headgasket replacement (along with the timing belt, water pump, valve cover gasket, thermostat) on a 98 Acura CL w/the 2.3L 4 Cylinder 5 Speed. After getting the engine back together, and starting it, I noticed as soon as I turned the key on, the cooling fan kicked on and stays on. It did not do this before I started the headgasket replacement.
Check engine light is on, I havent pulled codes just yet, but I suspect thats from the from the broken Knock Sensor.
I suspect the engine harness has damage, if i unplug one of the shock tower plugs on the passenger side, the fan turns off. Im wondering if one of the fan switches is grounding out.
Is the engine harness from a 98-02 Accord EX 2.3L going to be the same as the CL? different part numbers (using afhparts and acuraoemparts)
- Pulled the relay, it shuts down.
- Unplug the Switch on the thermostat housing, stays on,
- unplug the other fan switch on the upper rad hose housing, stays on,
- unplug the ECT, fan stays on, unplug all three of those and the fan still stays on.

Sometimes it's possible to accidentally swap connectors. Double and triple check that your connectors are correct. Don't just guess. Then double check wiring.
