I have a Honda Civic 2005 and when it is sitting still and idling are the fans supposed to come on when it reaches a certain temperature? I have replaced the fan switch, sensor, and thermostat. It gets hot while driving, even when the air conditioner is off or on. Please help. Any suggestions?

Yes. Mine usually turns on at 97 degrees Celsius. What does yours do?

What gets hot? The air blowing from the vents or the engine?

Mine does not come on until you turn ac or heater on.

Re: Radiator fans
Ok, that could be any number of problems. Could be anything from a lack of freon in the A/C to a blown head gasket. What else has your car been doing? We're not psychic, you know!
