ok i took a smaller paper clip the holes look like really tiny squares and it was difficult to get it in there, there was also 2 prongs above it. is that the correct connector? i stuck the paper clip in an individual fan and it didn't come on either. i'm guessing it's the 2 motors. i don't have a voltimeter to test if there's any power going through the wires or not. but so far the paper clip has yet to turn anything on.

 

OK, well I got my neighbor to let me take a few pictures of his 92 LX motor. It appears to be a little different than my accord because it has an external coil or something it seems for the distributor mounted directly above the fan control switch. On my 91 it isn't there, and you can reach right down and unplug it.

The hose to the right is the lower radiator hose going into the thermostat housing and that green connector that's plugged into the pink temp switch is what you want:


This is a picture from above. The control wire is located just underneath that big coil like thing that is bolted to the t-stat housing:


Is that the one that you've been accessing??

 

i found it but it still didn't work. the fans didn't turn on at all.

 

Sounds like the water pump to me. Have you looked at that?

 

no because my hoses are fine. it's definitely electrical because i jumped one of the individual fans and it turned... like not as if the motor was broken, but it turned enough to show me it was working fine. however i did the same with the thermostat switch and i got nothin.

 

so i got the fan to turn by jumping it directly from the battery with a wire. but i did the same with the thermostat switch and i got nothin. so does this mean it's the thermostat switch or the wiring to the fan from the thermostat switch? also do you happen to know if this is a parallel or series circuit? or is it both? it sounds like the wire inbetween the 3 connectors (condensor, t-stat switch, coolant temp switch) and the fans is a series and it's messed up but those 3 connectors are parallel. is that right? if that's how it is, then i'm sure the wiring that's series is messed up because i tried jumping all 3 green switches and i got no reaction from the fan.

 

Where are you located anyway?

 

in birmingham alabama. HEY I FIXED IT. actually my brother did. turns out there were some fuses i overlooked. i'm sure you guys already told me to look at it. but i only looked at one of the two (condensor fan). i didn't see the cooling fan in the bottom left corner of my fuses. my air conditioning feels so much better when idle now. thanks for helpin me out guys i feel i've learned a lot regardless of what i overlooked.

 

c-

 

Glad you got it fixed .,.....and it was something cheap to replace,, I wish you would have follow the directions i gave you step by step and not overlook anything ,, it would have made this ordeal a lot shorter and simpler ,,
Even with us techs we cannoit skip around or it will leave us chasing a GHOST..
I still think that if you are planning to work on your car regardless of year and model and make you should by a service and electrical manual.
