Damned radiator and condensor fan motors are out on my Honda

Before you start buying a bunch of parts find out what is wrong. See if you can straight wire the fan motors to get them to run then work back to find out why they are not getting power. As hot as it is just let them run all the time (when the engine is running)until you get time to actually fix it. Chances are that you have a bad temp sensor .

Yep...will check that out. It may be that the Honda dealership changes the fans and sensors all-in-one to remove any doubt what may be causing it. Like I said...I have a 3rd vehicle and can play with this.

Took the easier of the two fans off last night. Lunch today me and a bud direct wired them to the battery and checked it. It turned. Sooo...I'm going to do my hotwire setup tonight on the other. If it turns, I'm then looking at a bad temp sensor...assuming the A/C fan isn't dependent on the engine fan running first.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will know more later.

yeah, radiators aren't terribly expensive new nowadays, especially for a mass produced car like a Honda.... i haven't paid more than $150 for a radiator in years at my car lot, but doesn't sound like you need one.

Unless it's a newer Honda, no need to take it to the dealer, with as many of them on the road as there are, too many other guys can work on them much cheaper.

All fixed.

Like I said...buddy and I short wired one and it turned. Got home and hotwired the other and it didn't turn. Went to O'Reillys, bought a $45 dollar fan motor. By 10pm and being anal about putting everything together and went ahead and replaced the hoses, I was up and operational and took the car out and the fan was running later. Will test in the extreme RTP traffic this evening.

Burlington Honda estimate $600 dollars...

New fan motor $45 dollars and $15 dollar hose, plus the $45 diagnosis fee Burlington Honda charged me.

Looks like I'll stick with using dealerships only for oil change deals and emergencies. But damn...

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
