So, I've been reading up on the forums as much as I can, but we're still a little confused to be honest. We have a 1998 Honda Civic, and we recently replaced the radiator. It had a huge crack in it and was leaking fluid constantly. So, after replacing the radiator, the fan was no longer working(it worked before we replaced the radiator).

We've replaced fuses, the fan motor, and the temperature switch, and still nothing. I read that there was a way to test the fan by using the battery, but how exactly do we do that?

What else could be the problem?

 

Bleeding the cooling system may take 20-30 minutes:

1) Park the car on an inclined driveway with the front end higher than the rear.

2) Push/turn the dash heater lever/**** to MAX heat. Fan need not be on.

3) Follow the directions in the diagram below

 

Okay, so he managed to jump the fan or whatever, and it works fine when done that way. He also tried switching out the relays and nothing. Does this mean that the new temperature switch we bought is bad?
