I have 96 Acura TL 2.5 with 240,000 miles. My Fan on the Passenger side is not coming on.When I turn on the A/C the fan on the Driver's side works. I think both the Driver's side Fan and the Passenger's side Fan suppose to come on when the A/C is on. Coolant Temp Switch or Fan Motor? Test or Replace?

I would try to put in a new switch first. However, my passenger side fan went bad and needed to be replaced once before.

I took out the Fan on the Passenger side and connected it straight to the Battery and It came on.So it is not the Fan Motor. I replaced the Radiator Fan Switch on the Thermostat Housing. The Passenger Side Fan still does not come on. I don't know what else to replace or test. The Fuse in the Engine Compartment is good. Could it be something is not GROUNDED? I have checked everything from Chilton's and You Tube. Thanks for any advice or solutions.

Which Switch and Where is it located on the 96 TL 2.5? Was it Easy to replace? Was it expensive to replace? This Passenger's side fan not coming on is getting on my Nerves.

Thanks 96_X I have seen this part in my Engine Compartment. Never knew what it was or what it did.I will try to find out what it is called and what it does as far as the cooling fan(s) is concern. Thanks for pointing me in the right (and only) Direction to go in.

I went to AutoZone and they are calling it A Relay-Radiator Cooling Fan Motor (Part # MT1438) Hooked it up and Both Fans are working now. I want to say THANKS to 96TL_X for putting me on the road to the right direction. This is what the Internet is suppose to be all about----->Sharing Information.Thanks for your Words with a Photo. THANKS AGAIN.
