The passenger side fan in my Accord isn't working properly. The fuses aren't blown and the plug is receiving power, but when I turn on the AC there's no response. If I turn the blade manually it starts moving as it should though. Just wondering if I should just bite the bullet and buy a new motor or if something else might be wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Sounds like you need a fan motor.

To be 100% sure, you can connect a test light across that fan motor connector. Start the car and turn on the a/c. If the bulb turns on, then you verified the circuit is good. A digital volt meter could mislead you, because it doesn't draw much current.

 

Thanks, what kind of motor should I be looking for? Also, would a lack of freon make it so the fan would not run?

 

Freon would have nothing to do with it.

For the fan motor, price the Honda original part number, then look for aftermarket equivalent to evaluate the price difference.
