One should come on anytime the A/C is on. The other comes on in response to a thermal relay that detects the engine is getting too hot. First thing is to check the fuses for the fan motors. Secondly, check the electrical connections to see if they are tight and not corroded. Thirdly, apply 12 volts to the fan that is not working. If it comes on it is good. If not the fan motor is bad, replace it. If it comes on find the thermal relay and replace it at that is your problem.

Is there a reason your Honda prelude has two fans on the radiator with a new relay switch yet only one seems to come on?

One fan only comes on when the A/C is activated and runs continuously as long as the A/C is on. The other fan only comes on when needed to cool the engine down as in city driving.


How does the rad fan on a 1986 Honda Prelude come on?

There is a temperature switch on the passenger side bottom of the radiator that has a wire connector attached to it. The switch screws into the radiator and then the wires connect to that. That switch is what tells the relays to turn the cooling fan on. If your fans don't turn and the engine is running hot you can test the switch using the following steps. 1. turn the ignition to the on position but don't start the engine. 2. disconnect the wire connector to the switch on the bottom of the radiator. 3. using a small jumper wire, jump the two wires inside the connector. If the fans turn on then you will need to replace the temp switch. If the fans still don't turn on then you will need to check the fuses, relays, and the fans themselves.

What are the 2 fans for on a '91 Honda accord are they both cooling fans?

Yes One is called a "Radiator fan" and the other a "Condenser fan." The Radiator fan comes on when the engine coolant temperature is above 106C (223F). The Condenser fan comes on when you activate the Air Conditioning.


You have a 94 Honda accord When you shut of your engine the fan by the radiator still remains on Is this normal or is something wrong?

Honda's and in fact many cars with transverse mounted engines have electric fans to draw air across the radiator. When the radiator is hot the fan turns on until the temp drops. It's normal unless the fan stays on for a long time.
