I swear I'm cursed, I bought this car because I was tired of fixing my old pos gas hog lumina. I've only had it for a little over a month and i've already replaced the belts a couple weekends ago and on sunday replaced a leaky coolant hose that goes to the intake also replaced the plugs for safe measure while I was at it. Once I get this car running I gotta fix the leaky fuel injectors on my lumina and finish the engine rebuild/install on my rx7. I hate working on cars....should sell them all and buy a new one

sorry / :rant:

I think on '91 there's a fan timer module under the dashboard somewhere. Also there's 2 fan switches. The one on the thermostat housing is responsible for switching the fan when the engine is running. The one at the UPPER radiator hose nozzle (at the head) is responsible for switching the fan after you turn off the engine.

Zonab's '96 Accord... I'm not sure whether '96 has that older system with the fan timer & 2 switches.

I think(?) the AC thermo switch is not related. That's responsible for cycling your AC clutch on & off. I think that's buried in your ventilation system somewhere.

Cool thanks for the info. It sounds like the one on my thermostat housing is bad. I'll look around and see if I can spot the other one after work and head to the store to get the two switches. Hope this works
