Rep Power: 0 2004 Radiator Fan Not Working
I own a 2004 Civic. Since the tempature outside has gotten hot my car comes close to overheating. When I am moving my air conditioning works properly and the temp gage is normal. When I am in traffic my air stops working and the temp gage shoots up.
The condensor/auxillory fan is on when the temp gage shoots up. However, the cooling fan never turns on. All fuses and relays seem to be working. When temp gage was up I unplugged the auxilory fan and plugged it into the cooling fan, it still never came on.
Should I go ahead and buy a new cooling fan. How hard is the job of replacing the fan?

You need a new fan motor. Best bet is to buy the assembly from the salvage yard for like $50. Just the motor alone at Honda is almost $200.
1) disconnect neg batt cable. 2) disconnect upper radiator hose @ the radiator. 3) remove body pins from top of grille. 4) GENTLY, as not to rip grille from bumper cover, pull grille forward and remove the 2 bolts holding top of radiator assembly. 5) push assembly rearward and remove the 1 bolt holding the overflow bottle and the 2 bolts holding the fan assembly. 6) remove old, install new, reassemble. Takes like 10-15 minutes

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: 2004 Radiator Fan Not Working
If you have a 01-05 car that runs hot it is because the coolant is low due to a blown had gasket.
