fans always on my a**

[HondaLuver83]

so many sensors!!!!!!!!
i will be checking that tommorrow. have u ever seen a fan burnout cause i seriously dont want that to happen while im trying to diagnose

It wont happen right away, it would probably take years to blow the motor. Also depends on how much u drive.

I've seen a fan get stuck off before from debris, a few good wacks with a hammer and the fan turned on and I got a bunch of $hit in my eyes. They are a very reliable motors.

you can try and check your coolant to see if it's contaminated. not sure what else it could be. did you check your hoses for leaking?

 

[BkzTafetta]

yup no leak...and i pretty much let it all leak out cuz i put back my old radiator that i had temporarily epoxied so all the old coolant pretty much drained out!

dude thats crazy
well i took it to a electrician and when he was checking it out, they turned on all of a sudden like nothing was wrong with the car.
i felt so dumb!!!! lol
and do u really know if the coolant is leaking, cause my coolant resevour sometimes says full, in the middle, or all the way on low line/ but it never passes the low line
i check it everytime i put gas to make sure it never goes below the low line on the resevour

 

[BkzTafetta]

well i havnt really been payin anytime mind to that but i will now....im gonna have to wait till nex week to take it to an electrician....i just dont wanna take it to one and pay so much money and then its the simplest thing in the world

 

[9450erick]

i know what u mean
i tried everything to try to fix the problem b4 i finally gave in
id rather pay a few bucks then have to buy a new motor cause my engine overheated

 

[BkzTafetta]

yea same here.....but i have a new prob lol....i found out my motor isnt really overheating....the needle goes to hot but the radiator cap isnt get hot at all and when i started up the car in the morning the needle wen straight to normal temp...what can this be? i installed a new temp sending unit....mayb my temp sensor has gone bad? and mayb thats y my fans arent going on....its not overheating

 

[9450erick]

the senosr that tell the needle what to point to is on the head/ u should check that out
also u might want to change the thermostat(follow the lower radiator hose frm the radiator to the block. where the hose connects to the block thats the thermostat housing/ there also should be a sensor on top of that)
if u need help just keep posting on this thread

 

[BkzTafetta]

yea...i took the thermostat out and it still reads hot...which sensor is the one on top of the thermostat? the sensor on the head with a lil black plug connected broke because i overtightened it while installing it....even though it was still reading hot with this installed.
