I replaced the thermostat without replacing the fan motor and the car stopped over heating. I had the radiator fan motor replaced a week later. I had to return a thermostat becuase it was wayyy too small. They had to special order mine from honda. it was like 40 bucks.

Try your fan switch(like the others suggested). Your tstat is seperate from the housing, just pop it out...also its not the reason the cooling fan is not coming on. Make sure you bleed the cooling system once you put it back together or else it will overheat constantly. Cooling fan coming on with the condensor fan when the a/c is on is normal on honda's.
Just curious, how are you sure its the radiator cooling fan?

T-stat: got rid of the over heating!!
Fan switch(on the block): replaced it, because the other parts were dieing. Since the others failed I figured, what the hell.
Fan Temp sensor(on t-stat housing): they didn't have it in stock, I assuming this is the problem for the fan not turning on though.
Thanks everyone for all your help. Couldn't have got it fixed this quickly without you.
