I've noticed my radiator fan never comes on and my car tends to start heating up if I get stuck in traffic where I'm barely moving. As soon as I start moving at a decent speed though, the temperature gets back to normal so I'm hoping it's only because the radiator fan is not coming on that its overheating. I read something about checking the radiator fan switch and also something about using a paperclip, but I'm not sure what to do and money's tight right now. Any help on how to check the different parts of the fan would be great.

Yeah... if you have an auto... drop the car in neutral and rev the sucker around 2000 rpm and seeing as you dont have a tach you'll be able to feel the cold air flowing as soon as you hit a high enough rpm... i have a 95 civic Dx sedan too and this normally helps my car... and if you have a manual well u know j how to rev... the higher you rev the better the AC works upto 4000rpm from what i've noticed... thats y freeway driving is nice... but i have no idea whats wrong if you find out or if anyone knows what the problem is... plz let me... all2ez1209@yahoo.com

Thankee Kindly.

I'd check and/or replace the radiator fan switch, and maybe even get the thermostat checked out too.

how much does all that cost?
