im sure stupid question is gonna get a stupid answer but, did ya check the fuse? My friend ran into the same problem and he even bought a fan and we replaced it. At the end it was the fuse despite him telling me that it was fine ( maybe checked the wrong one but, my fault for not checking myself ).
We replaced the fuse and it was good.

I plug another fan from a toyota lol and it work perfect, so I know for sure the ac fan is dead.
I think is either a sensor idk which yet or something with the fan for the motor.

My car is now fixed. I just install the new ac fan and the car no longer overheat.
I don't understand what does the ac fan has to do with the car overheating? if it was the motor fan then it would be a different story. And also the car would overheat with the ac off, weird stuff but oh well the car is normal now
I would like to hear from you honda experts....

The AC condensor is in front of the radiator, and it takes 2 fans to cover the area of the combined radiator/condensor. So each fan pulls thru 1/2 of the radiator and condensor. They're really just "radiator" and "AC" fans in name only. Together they share both jobs.

this suck. this morning while stuck in traffic (accident ahead) I notice the temp going up up up UP and I can hear the radiator fan turning on but the temp just keep going up, so I turn on the ac so that both fans cool down the engine, it worked but then I was freezing my ass lol. now the car is overheating again and only in local traffic. what in the world is wrong? the car is overheating whenever it feels like it.

Question.......is the car overheating when you end up in stop and go after traveling on the highway? Reason I ask is my former 92 Accord starting doing such a thing, turned out it was the beginings of a head gasket problem. This was the first time in 9 years of driving that I ever saw the Temp gauge rise. HG replaced, problem solved.

I am going to replace the coolant temperature sensor today.
Does anyone know where is this thing located? I think is located where the green plug but not sure.

That green plug looks like it's located at the thermostat housing, which would make it the fan switch that's active when the engine's running.
But Honda normally uses the green plug for the VTEC oil pressure switch...
Makes me wonder if you have some wiring harness plugs interchanged??
