radiator fan not working?

how long does it take for the radiator fan start spinning?

my high temp indicator is blinking. I believe the fan is not working.

any other suggestion?

Does it come on with your AC? The US models have the fan start spinning around 215F.

when i on the AC, the AC fan is on together
but not the radiator fan.

i drove around 20-30 min... still not able to get the radiator fan on.

anyway to get the fan going without waiting the temp to hit 215F?

try unplugging the fan and blowing out the connector and then replugging it and then see if it works. if its still broke call honda.

did u recently change ur radiator coolant or did anything that had a loss of radiator coolant? it sounds like it's nto coming on because u have air in ur system. Try bleeding ur system. Do this:

with the car cool, open up ur radiator cap. then turn on the car.
after about 10 minutes, u should see that the radiator coolant level has dropped (if u had air in the system) and the fluid should be moving in the radiator if u look at it. If it's not moving after 10 minutes, maybe ur water pump is bad and it's not circulating.

Once its bled after 10 min, turn off the car and top off the fluid.
