If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Cooling fan will not shut off

Locate the thermo-switch that controls the radiator fan, unplug it and see if the fan shuts off.
If the engine is a transplant, someone may have just wired it to run the fan continuously.



Side note,
You are in AZ, and you have a car with a European engine?

From Wiki:
B16A1
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTEC
  • Found in:
    • European Market Civic'1.6 DOHC VTEC(EE9)
    • European Market CRX'1.6 DOHC VTEC (EE8)


Fan switch could be in the thermostat housing, could be on the back of the block above the oil filter area, might be someplace else IDK.
