DO this easy check First!
If your Honda Fans aren't working it can be easy repair.
I found that both the radiator fan and the AC fan weren't working.
On a 2002 Honda CRV or most Honda's including Civic and Accord, there's an easy check that can be done to see if you need to repair
or replace the fans, relays, temperature switch or even the fuses.
The temperature switch is an easy repair and it's even easier to replace. You can get the part from Amazon.com for cheap!

My man that was spot on. It worked on my 99 civic. Thanks loads! I had put in a new thermostat, it kept overheating after that, then I noticed the fan wasn't running, did the paperclip and I'm back in the game. Ordering that switch today.
So my fans came on with the clip and I replaced the switch. So do the fans come on (both) when the A/C is running after the switch is replaced? Mine didn’t!!! I tried to let it heat up but it was getting hotter than normal and fans didn’t come on!!! This is the one at the bottom of the radiator that was replaced. Do I have a 2nd switch on the motor? 2004 Honda CR-V?
Man love THIS VIDEO THANKS....love you pop's
Yea I’m having overheating problems.. radiator is a full.. engine cooling fan comes on.. I’m still not sure if this is the fix.. ima have a friend check it out but lemme know if this is the fix to this issue.. thanks again boss
So will this give you a check engine light.
Can't say how much I appreciate someone helping another poor dude save money,. Kudos.
Thanks! I appreciate it!

Clear concise and to the point. I just followed your instructions and jumpered my ECT with a piece of wire and boom both fans came on thank you sir for this video.
You look like the white Neil DeGrasse Tyson
AND Sounds!!!
And sounds
Lmaooo
He does though!! 😂😂 😂 😂
Lol i thought you were exaggerating but your NOT.. LOOKS AND SOUNDS like Neil 😂😂😂,
thank God for people like you you save me a good chunk of change on my motorcycle I don't claim to be a mechanic but I definitely like to do things myself when I can and this helped a whole lot for sure
God bless this man my car kept overheating because the fan wasn’t working I miss seeing simple straight to the point videos
Just what I was looking for... I don't have a electrical meter and this answers my questions on testing. Thank you my good man!
You know what, i am the same and it usually comes down to checking the simple things first, i notice a mechanic will run every test under the sun, try and sell you on other parts to replace and only go "by the book" that ends up costing you sometimes more then if you went out and bought another car. Thank you so much and you are now my favorite channel.
This was my problem I would have never thought of! Car overheated on the highway, water boiling, no fans on. Ac fan worked fine, but it was intermittent. Did what you did, and by god both fans came roaring to life! Even works for my 04 civic. And now I'm happy again, and I have "I like peanut butter" stuck in my head 😂 Basically what I'm trying to say is thank you.
Did you replace your temp sensor?
You sir, have just made my night. I’ve owned this 92 civic for 10 years without a working cooling fan and as soon as I started it with the paper clip the fan was turning. Thank you very much.
You’re Welcome!
“Slide it off into the trash”...lol. I almost died. Thought he was serious for a split second..🤣
LOL I rewound that part a few times.
I just want to thank you for your videos, I've fixed my nephew 2000 Honda Civic LX watching several of these videos. You guys are the best 🤝
Thanks a lot, totally worked. I did this and it worked just as he said, and I ordered a new sensor.
So glad I found your video!! Been trying to figure out why my fans weren't kicking on and that was the answer. Thank you my friend!! 😁🙌🙏❤
this helped a lot. Thank you! Watched several videos (a few of yours too) Was quoted almost $800 to fix my a/c and Fan issue... I swapped my cooling fan motor myself in about 1 hour, paid $71.00 for that and also swapped a relay switch ($15), and the PCV valve ($24 - I could have got it cheaper but didn't feel good about the part quality).... All in all, I saved a ton of money and my issue is fixed.... (posting the same Thank you message on several vids...)
yakisakisumo Awesome! Thanks for letting me know! Very Nice!
edit: what he describes in his video, 100% reflected my problem, and helped to diagnose my problem! have 1998 hr-v 4wd 2.0(i bet they all in the range of years the same)
brother, you really helped me, hope you never run out of that peanut butter!
I appreciate your comment! Thanks, I appreciate it 😉
Thanks for the video. We used this video to fix my friends 2000 Honda Civic. He had a bad Temperature sensor. We verified the Relays were good.
T8ITEASYMAN Excellent! Glad it worked!
I think you just solved all my problems...thanks dude!
Logical and practical approach to troubleshooting! Thanks ☺👍
Thank you! This has saved me a massive headache. Legend
Your the man solved my problem 3 years later thank you
Nice job! Thanks for posting.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My daughters Civic had been to the shop multiply time and $100’s later it was still over heating. I started looking at it and noticed the fan wasn’t coming on. I swapped relays and BAM the fan came on. You’re the bomb. Thanks.
You’re Very Welcome! Glad it worked!
a shop didn’t know your fans weren’t coming on ? terrible shop
@@zforbes839 yes two actually
Great explanation and very helpful. Thanks a ton!
Great video! Helped us save the cost of taking our van into the shop. It was very tempting to use some of our Costco size tub of coconut oil.
Haha Thanks! 👍
This happened to my car today. 04 Acura TSX. Just found your video through searching. Liked and Subscribed
Dude, you’ve got next-level, ninja-like, trouble shooting skills. Can’t wait to try this on my overheating 2001 CRV
Shawn Ames Let me know how it goes 😉
How did it go? So my fans came on with the clip and I replaced the switch. So do the fans come on (both) when the A/C is running after the switch is replaced? Mine didn’t!!! I tried to let it heat up but it was getting hotter than normal and fans didn’t come on!!! This is the one at the bottom of the radiator that was replaced. Do I have a 2nd switch on the motor? 2004 Honda CR-V?
@@CommonGuy Hi man,I am not a professional mechanic by any means, but I did some research and this is to you or to anyone reading this, yes, there are apparently 2 temperature sensors on some honda cars (mine is a 06 civic) one at the bottom of the radiator which is connected to your temperature gage that you see inside the car, the other sensor is on the motor and it is what makes the fans turn on after reaching a specified temperature.
Thank you man Your a life saver! i was concerned there was more damage
Great video! I needed this info... Its too hot to not have AC lol! Keep the video's coming 👍
You are the man brother ! Thank you so much you are the GOAT !!! Got it to turn on like that ! On the way to the auto parts store to pick me up a coolant temperature sensor 🤟👍
Thanks a ton @cheapgeek. After watching your video was able to solve my radiator fan issue.
Thanks a lot have to check fans tomorrow. Great video hope I can find and get switch out if switching relays indicates a relay. Its funny I watched another video where some guy in Florida said I found this connector with a wire in it connected to nothing.
I have Accord where boths fans came on then off and on and off. I think your video confirms my problem. Old 1996 Accord with 248k miles so it's time.
Thanks for this information and showing how to do fix the problem.
"Put it in a pan, Smother it with coconut oil and slide it off into the trash" ... THE BEST STATEMENT EVER LOL
Here am I with my overheated civic and eating Taco Bell while watching your video lol thanks man you just made my day 👍
I would like to thank you very much, for your video. I was able to use the paper clip trick, and replace the fan sensor.
Excellent! Glad to hear it!
"I'm a cheapie" respect, kept it real; for those who like to DYI
This guy kicks ass he's a great teacher I like watching him he's cool and he explains it so I can fix it
Thanks! I appreciate it! ⭐️
Thanks for the info. You are very good at explaining things. You should be a teacher. Appreciate the vid.
Thanks! I appreciate your comment 😉
Great simple video. Nice work.
Yep that worked thank you very much
Thanks finally a video with both fans working now I know I need to replace my fan
Very Nice!
I was to late to change my fan now my a/c compresor is going off any time soon : /
very easy to understand, very helpful, thanks
Because of this video which thank you very much, led me to finding the radiator fan was actually bad, and not spinning once I pushed the blades it started to spin but it was spinning too weak I won the bet because on my Honda it wasn't the temp sensor LOL. but I'll let you keep your dollar thank you very much
michael delgado Thanks Man! 👍
Thank you! It works perfectly!
Now I need the part for my 2006 crv.
On my european model I had to squeeze my arm almost to the bottom ofvthe engine room.
You wouldn't know how to fix the green blinking light?
It worked! Thank you so much! Funny and informative.
That coconut oil tip is pure genius. I'm definitely doing that. That's
When I knew I was subbing.
The paper clip trick works a charm, thanks for that
Very helpful mate. Well done
Awesome. Thanks man. You just saved me a lot of headache.
This tells us that both relays are good because the blower motor came on … anyway” too much to explain “ in this explanation video . Classic , I love it . Already annoyed just thinking of all the dummies that ask questions while literally recording the video . If you understand why this video is hilarious then kudos to you. He’s a busy guy, fixing cars , look over there it’s the motor top.. moving on. Jam that switch with some ancient technology like a paperclip. This dude is awesome
Thanks!😉
Finally someone with a personality.. Great vid
Man, feel like an idiot. You saved me from taking everything apart again. I replaced everything. I am embarassed for not checking electrical components first, cause I have been told that all the time forever and skipped it and just started replacing things. 600 dollar lesson learned. I couldn't find a video to address anything I had an idea about. Always the same stuff. When I came across this video yesterday, it was clear and understandably easy to understand. I couldnt believe how I completely missed that. After doing the test. Its like everything clicked and and fell into place like dominoes.
Man I appreciate the video! AC Cold again!!
Not one fancy tool in sight.
Just plain thinking and know how,keep them like that mate.
We canot afford to buy these expensive tools,and probably wouldn't know how to use them anyway.So keep up the good work. Thank You.
I'm using your info tomorrow on my 98 Honda Accord 2.3 =..thanks for producing --good quality
Sir I would just like to say that u saved me a lot of money with this quick fix. I hit the subscribe button. Thank you
Sweet!
You saved me some time ... My S2000 appreciates you
Brandon Garcia I appreciate the comment😉
Earned another sub.. Keep them vids coming
Perfect thanks bud!!
That clip trick is super useful! thanks!
these kinda vids are just what im looking for man! i bought this 99 civic for $1,500 it's a nice little car but pretty beatdown exterior and interior but whatever i'm using it as a work car you can say. i'm doing alot of doordash & postmates, gas here in cali is $4.25/gal -_- so this 35 mpg civic is a MUST!. alreaedy put down 15k miles on it in under a year but made some pretty decent bank on the deliveries i can say :) so you wouldn't want that kinda wear and tear on your nice new car right? still taking care of it the best i can but by any means im not trying to put in any unnecessary cash into this. just bought it to billy ray cyrus this bitch and ride it till i cant no more. hoping to get a couple more years out of this so far a great investment but these janky fix vids is JUST WHAT I NEED! my fan was a 15 dollar fix, when the mechanic said $400 to replace it all so ty sir! it is appreciated
Thank you... i got my fan running ! 👍
NIce!
Awesome description, very helpfuk
The GMK event really messed up the progress of my first F2P account. In the second F2P account I started I'm on the exact same track and about to overtake my first account......in two weeks time. Thanks for all the videos that helped me get on a better path. The only caveat is that my 2nd account was lucky enough to hit B Zang early and often. He was my first character to S+ on my second account. Had to buy him on my first account and he's way underpowered for my level
Really awesome video. I appreciate the realism
gracias por brindar sus conocimientos, por favor digame el rango de temperatura al que funciona o cierra el cooling fan switch? me dieron uno parecido pero investigue y era para civic (es muy parecido pero no igual, el que usted muestra en este video si lo es) y la que necesito es para crv 2003.
Absolute legend, thank you so much!
Glad it helped! :)
This video saved me! I was driving around couple days ago with the A/C on and when I was at idle, I noticed the temp gauge was climbing higher than usual and it started freaking me out. I thought it was from driving with the A/C on for about an hour. Fast forward a couple days later and without the A/C on at idle, it was climbing again until I started driving around (the temp gauge instantly dropped as soon as I started moving). Yesterday, I tested the relays, fuses and the fans and they were all good. I have the part and can't wait to replace it. Unfortunately, I am pushing it by driving with my fans constantly running with that paper clip trick but I do most of my driving on the highway and it's only about a total of 45 minutes combined to and from work. My apartment complex forbids us from working on cars so I'm gonna have to drive it to a lot somewhere after work, wait for the engine to cool to replace the part and bleed the system.
The paper clip is a useful work around. We did that for a day or two until I could get the part and make the video. 😉👍
Wow .. you live a dangerous life if you're driving around like that.
If the niddle is climbing, that means the relays and fuses are good.
First things I would check is do you even have antifreeze.
If you have antifreeze, it's a very strong possibility your thermostat is going out.
We know it can't be the the relays and fuses cause parts are moving.
If you have antifreeze and the thermostat is good, could be your fan switch is going out.
But right now I'm gonna lean in the thermostat.
Keep in mind; there's a difference between the engine coolant temperature sensor, and the fan cooling temperature sensor. And they both play a different role.
Hope this helps you.
Have a great day.
Oh by the way; no I'm not a mechanic, I work on my own car. I have learned a few things along the way.
Just curious, did you find the problem ? Were you able to fix the problem ?
@@guesswhomartin9249 Figured it out a couple months ago. My thermostat failed closed and the fan switch did indeed fail right along side it. The pressure ended up rupturing a coolant bypass hose that goes to the throttle body. Replaced all that stuff, and during that process, I found out my head gasket is leaking. Tried to replace it twice now but ran into a seriously seized nut on the exhaust manifold. It didn't react to heat, penetrating oil, vise grips or bolt extractors so I'm gonna cold chisel it off or hit it with a cut off wheel. Exhaust gases are getting inside the cooling system, so every couple days, I have to top off the radiator and purge it of trapped gases. I'll probably get around to it next weekend.
@@The513Warning ... Wow, very nice... Looks like you got everything under control. Good job.
Thank you so much you made my day was going through times now and happy I can save money now.
Thanks man. On my 2007 ford 500 it was the opposite. When I unplugged it, my fans started working lol. Plugged it back in fans stopped, so my switch is bad, but, didn't need paper clip. Now, off to get switch.
Haha! Nice ;)
Great video! Funny and informative.
Awesome,my fan wasnt working did the paperclip thing and my fan worked thanks bro
I'm glad this is the first video I found. I had already replaced the T-stat and sent my daughter back on the road only to overheat again. I started troubleshooting wiring last night, but got interrupted with last minute dinner plans with friends. I'm glad that happened, because I found this video this morning and wouldn't have thought to check the switch. I jumped the switch with a small wire and the fan comes on when I turn the key to the on position. I'm going to order a new swich, but I'm just curious, what would be the issue to leave it jumped? Is it because the fan won't run after the engine has turned off (cool down time)?
Thanks!! So helpful!
This man is honestly hilarious xD and good tips!
Thanks for taking the time and keeping it simple man. Honestly I love The regular Guy explanations. I don't want to hear unnecessary, technical details. Please, just show me what I need to do to figure out where the problem lies, name the part that should be tested (And possibly replaced) and if there's any other helpful, yet basic tips. And, that is exactly what you done. Thanks again man. Keep up the Great work.
Sir you are God sent 🙏🙌. Thank u for this information
appreciate the info man !!
Awesome video. Thank you so much
Brother you are hilarious.
Thanks for helping others out.
Hey man I live in my crv your video really helped me
Great video, man!! Thanks for the info.
I'm also cheap! subscribed! I have money, but between responsibilities and my wife wanting everything, I'd be lying if I said I could actually have an auto electrician or mechanic look at it, that was in my single days
Best walk thru of the fan switch I’ve seen. You got a subscriber
Nice! Thanks! I appreciate it :)
After you have burped the system, jumped the relay to confirm Fans work, replaced the Thermostat & radiator/thermostat temp sensors & STILL nothing works, check the temperature of the radiator. It should be uniform all over. If not the radiator could be plugged near the lower temp sensor causing a misreading. Flush and/or replace radiator. If that still does not work, replace the Fan Timer unit...... thats what fixed my issue.
Ive done that and alot more still nothin
It help me a lot !! Thank you
Thank you for the information you're a great mechanic - teacher I've only one question will this fix,or the apply to the fan for the radiator cooling without the air conditioner engaged.
Thank you
Awesome to know. Thanks for the video
Bless you for doing this video man.
You’re Welcome! Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it!👍
Thanks bro. Just helped me diagnose my issue
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this information.
Great video! Very helpful! Love the sense of humor! I was thinking about betting you the dollar but didn't want to take the risk on losing the bet. :-)
Top tip, I'll remember that when the time comes.
Great ways to test what component is bad,thanks
Brilliant!
That was exactly my problem. Thanks a million
