Nice diag. Don't forget the owner can run the heat inside the cabin to try to alleviate over heating due to a fan not working.
@kcstonemenott Жыл бұрын
What if they tried that to no avail bc even on full heat, full blast... The air is simply coming out cold? Not a stitch of heat? 🤔 Cuz that's the boat (Honda 😆) that I'm in right now
@themechanic6117 Жыл бұрын
@kcstonemenaut3707 there may be a not enough coolant in the system. Check if the coolant is low. If it is you'll need to find how why it's low and fix that leak

Great job on being specific to what could go wrong. Always good to see someone be as meticulous in their work, it shows you care about what you do! Both my fans work with the AC on. However if I drive around the block with the windows down and the air conditioning off, I never see, or hear the radiator fan go on. Although the temp gauge inside never seems to get past the normal mark. Could it be that the sending unit (which is brand new) never gets hot enough to trigger the ground to engage the fan? Thanks again for the video!
@Mac27058 Жыл бұрын
Even, I have the same question. As per Honda, both the fans should come on irrespective of whether the AC is ON or OFF.

This was a very thorough video and although I am inclined to believe I’m gonna be replacing a water pump because the leak was massive right below and slightly behind the pump, I verified the fuses and relays were good in my gen 6 Honda accord but the vid was good so I watched to the end and I am leaving with what feels like a good series of steps to follow, if ever confronted with the situation again

My 05 honda accord 2.4 has been overheating. It loses coolant but don’t see leaks. I’ll fill the coolant and after about 2 weeks it’ll start overheating and when i go to fill it, it takes quite a bit. Has new radiator, don’t get a code for thermostat, not sure what it could be. Both fans are working fine. Could it be the pump? Head gasket?
