Cooling Fan running

That's good to know gdereck. That would be one of the last things I'd ever check if I had the problem again yet now it will be the first thing I'd check!

Terry.

I am using honda accord coupe 1997 car for the past 12 years.I put up in kuwait and the temperatures here right now are as high as 50 degrees centigrade.I use coolant for the radiator. My query is that the radiator fan remains on even after the car engine goes off for arond 10-15 minutes?Is this normal because im worried that this drains off my car battery.

I have a 1997 Accord Wagon. Runs great, have maintained it well, at least mechanically.

The odd thing happening lately is that AFTER I turn the engine off, a fan comes on under the hood. It doesn't ALWAYS come on, just every now and then. Sometimes it will come on after short drives (to the grocery), but will NOT come on after long drives (say 10-15 miles). And while driving, I never see the temperature gauge start to indicate that the car is running hot.

Any ideas what this sound/fan could mean?

Thanks boss. Will look into that. Makes sense - just seems that timing is off somehow. Not a particularly hot motor, no smoke coming out, etc.

Hello, i recently had my engine washed with some engine cleaner and pressure washed it , i got the engine nice and clean .. i did this round 9 at night ..after i parked it in the garage now its cold and snowy out here but its in da garage.... oh and i air hosed it dry ok .....now the next day i went to work and all was good ....i parked it in the parking lot ..after 10 hrs my shift was over and now i drive the car home now here when the problem starts........When i turn my car off the coolant fan still is going and the heater blower is on in the dash....where as before i turn the key off and everything is off ......ok the fan goes for a little bit thats normal and shuts off but now it just stays on... just stays on completely and the heater still has power li turn it off on the dash but still i can turn it on without the key ...i replaced the coolant relay switch so its not the relay ....and i checked the fuse and its not that so i just took off the fuse now all is off ......but i put the fuse in and everything is on .....so if someone knows whats going on with my coolant fan being possessed i surely would appreciate it ..thanks

Your welcome. But I found the problem out yesterday 1-9-10 surfing the net. Because I didn't feel like waiting for a tech to answer back. Which im glad I didn't because that's not what the problem was. The problem is. When I read in another website. Is under the hood there"s an accessory relay or coolant relay on top of the right side of the radiator corner. Which there's two of them which I replaced it which cost for each one $32.00 and that was the answer to my problem. The fan shuts off and the inside power is cut off the the ac/heat. So for any one else who has this problem as I did. Don't put all your eggs in one basket waiting for an answer. Do alot of research first which is free. Thank you anyways

When the car would not start and would not take a jump, my father discovered that there was a battery fuse that was burned out. We replaced the fuse and the car took a jump and starts fine but when you shut off the engine a fan continues to run. My father was able to disconnect this fan but we are not driving it in case overheating will result. I see from other posts that a faulty fan relay is often the cause for this. I am wondering if you would diagnose the same here and if so, can we replace this relay on our own or do we need to take it in to the garage?

I just finished replacing the radiator and thermostat in my Honda accord. I believe I bled all the air out of the system through the coolant bleed valve by squeezing the hose, but I am not sure what is meant by "fill until a steady stream comes out". All I ever got was a dribble. The problem came when I hooked everything back up. The first thing I noticed is that the cooling fans didn't come on unless I turned on the AC. Upon further inspection, I found that the upper radiator hose was getting really hot and the lower one was hardly even warm to the touch. I figured it was the new thermostat I put in, so I replaced the old one (which I tested with the boiling water method and it was fine). The problem persists and I am unsure of where to go next. The relays were all working fine when I took the old radiator out.

Hello I hav a 96 honds accord and both cooling fans wont turn on.I thought I was getting poor coolant circ I changed the thermo and they still dindnt work. If you turn the ac on it doesnt work, I tried to test the resistance of the coolant switches and I get nothin. It seems like my engine is over heating but my guage reads normal on the cool side. Wich if the engine isnt worming up the coolant enouph the switches wont hav resistance. Other test ive done the relay in the fuse box is good I think. If you unplug the wire at the coolant switch b and jump the terminal with a wires the relay clicks but the fans dont com on. Does this mean that the problem is from ther to the fan relay to the fan. The motors are good, also when you jump the green whire on the fan control box behind the glove box the fans do come on. Or could I have a wirng problem or could an open ground couse this problem? Thx

I have tested the motors ther good both of em did you read the whole post I jumped the wires at the fan control box behind the glove box and the fans came on when you jump the wires at the coolant temp swith you can here the relay under the hood fuse box click but the fans dont come on so should the fan relay on the side of radiator click and turn the fan on or is it electrical

I have a 1995 accord ex that had a blown motor when I bought it. I put a new motor in with new radiator and fans. Neither fan comes on with the ac on or off. The fuse inside is good and the cooling fan relay is good. My repair manual mentions other relays, but is not clear on their location or how to test them. Help?
