Is the Rad fan working while the AC is on?

As far as the rad fan, it is not kicking on while the AC is On. only the Condenser fan. only way it will run, i have to hit the back of the fan motor to even get it too work somewhat, i know it isnt rotating at its high speed. so, yeah, im taking that as the motor is not working correctly.

Why are the fans on my car not turning on?

If the fans fail to operate only with the AC, but do come on in normal hot engine conditions, then the fuse and relays are fine – it’s a command problem at the ECU or the AC controller. In addition, I would suspect the computer last.

Why are the fans on my radiator not working?

If the fans never work, it could be the cooling fan ECU (located behind the grill), but check the 50A fuse powering it, and the fan relay first. If the fans fail to operate only with the AC, but do come on in normal hot engine conditions, then the fuse and relays are fine – it’s a command problem at the ECU or the AC controller.

When does the temp gauge go up or down?

B16A2 DOHC VTEC engine. Currently has 204,000 kilometres (127,000 miles) When the car is on a stop and idling, the temp gauge needle goes up steadily, and when the car is running, the gauge goes back to normal just as fast. When the temp gauge is on hot and I rev the engine, temp gauge needle goes down a little bit.

Why is the temp gauge on Hot in my Honda?

Another possibillity is that the water pump is no longer functioning. Both of these will lead to excessive coolant overflow due to lack of circulation causing hot spots to develop where the coolant is boiling and expanding to push coolant out of the system. This also creates air pockets which can make the temp gauge quickly jump or fall.
