the passenger side fan is On with AC on - does that happen?

driver fan is on with temp sensor as needed for a minute when sitting at lights
and with ac on it runs full time

If the driver fan runs several minutes after shutdown- it needs a sensor
may run 1-2 minutes on a warm day but not 5 to 10 minutes- thats sensor failure

hard to push blade--coaxes it into running = bad motor
50 bucks aftermarket- direct replacement part, no sweat, can buy with a new blade attached or not
call local parts stores, that motor fits millions of hondas

Just make sure you get the same blade--count the number of blades on current setup
driver side is different blade

thats a nearly dead fan motor and its dangerous, as it may stop with power running to it!

the sensor is on lower pass side corner,,
on 99s its on the thermostat housing on top of engine
Im not sure when the production was changed- with your 00??
look for the thing with 1 wire going to it, if its not there look at the other place~

01tl04tl...I thought the single wire sensor is for the temp indicator. Don't the fan sensors have two wires and a larger connector?

it doesnt turn with the ac on- or by hand??
when power supplied by main fan?
fuse replaced- relay swapped?

Doh- I bet it is 2 wires for fan sensor,,too many cars in my head
there is only 1 sensor on the bottem corner of the rad- hows that ?!

use power from the other fan to test it,
or use a set of small jumper wires you keep in the toolbox for such occassions~

have you tested for power at the fan connector with ac on?
