  • This is the detailed process of how to diagnose an overheating problem (Radiator Fan not working) on a 1997 Honda Civic. This procedure works on most cars not just The civic Put Jesus at the center of it all God Bless.

    I am a visual learner, and this explanation is the best I have ever seen. I am experiencing a problem of the fan not coming on a 1999 Saturn SC2 coupe. I had to let it idle for a long period of time because I was getting ready to drain the automatic transmission fluid and do a filter change. It caused the coolant to boil and overflow. I have been watching other videos on how to diagnose the problem, but your video is the one that explained it best on how to figure out what was not working so I didn't spend money buying parts that I didn't need. Thank you, brother.

    when you pulled the cooling fan relay off and tested the switch inside the thing by giving it a charge..... that was awesome. I love that even though you didnt need to do that you were still willing to show us another technique.
    Just found out today that my radiator fan stopped working. So time to have some fun and start diagnosing the cooling sytem.
    Thank you so much oldschool.

      Teachers are told to teach a lot of wrong history and other stuff as well. He has way to much common sense to teach lies. He would however be great at doing what he is doing now but at a higher level i think he helps thousands yearly. Pretty much everything i check science wise or history when i dig very deep i find they lie about pretty much everything we were taught. For example Nicola Tesla we never learned about and he was the smartest guy i've ever heard of a hundred times over. Instead we hear about freemason sellouts who steal others works and ideas and patents and they got the credit. For instance did you know electric cars were around in 1830's but wasn't practical till 1870's or so. But then Ford motor company bribed Edison scum bag who stole patents and killed a couple people at least who were suing him. And basically Ford bribed Edison by paying off since Ford had assembly line and nobody could compete and they killed the electric car that could get 100 miles per charge. They also had steem cars and they killed everything because later they started finding oil in texas at that time as well. So I'm sure the oil industry worked with Ford to suppress technology for over a hundred years. Just like GM did with their electric cars way before Tesla when they crushed a bunch of great working electric cars. Who killed the electric cars if your curious. Also Kepler stole work, Edison stole and was horrible towards Tesla. On and on and on when you look stuff up. Even Hitler and the gunshot and cyanide death in 45 was wrong. When i read they burned his body twice after his death in a hour i knew they were hiding the truth. Fifteen hours later i realized he died in argentina in 1962 , february 13 at three pm at hotel Eden.For more info on that their is "Chasing Hitler, Greatest story never told or Adolpho. A hundred or more people verified that as well as fifty or so working for him all that time. Also he was majorly suppressed in his country financially ,a lot like many countries are. Federal reserve isn't federal either it's rothschilds and rockefellers. The creature from jekyll island is a great book on that.

    Your video is actually the most complete steps to diagnose radiator fan malfunction. I have been checking a lot of TH-cam videos to solve my Civic 1999 ex overheating problem for quite long time by myself. I was discouraged not to be able to find the cause.
    I feel that I finally found the real how-to instruction for "a home made mechanic want to be". I will take your step by step instruction to solve the fan problem.

They told me it was a blown head gasket and wasn't worth fixing. I have a broke leg and couldn't do the diagnosis on the engine. I kept the car in the driveway and did a lot of research and you were spot on. Thank you so much. Joe

  • @demofresh103
    @demofresh103 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    oldskool funk has excellent instructional skills. This is a good start-to-finish diagnosis video. These tests are a great place to start and eliminate common problems before attempting leak & block testing, which involves renting/purchasing expensive pressure testing equipment (among other things) & hunting down the high-dollar adapters for the cap & radiator filler neck. One more thing... I want to share my experience testing the sensor on the stove, because I only got accurate tests by supporting the sensor around the plastic or insulator parts and not allowing the metal components of the sensor to come into direct electrical contact with any other metal (including the cooking pot). Also, my multimeter doesn't auto-range. If I remember correctly, I set it to 200 Ohm and it seemed to work fine. That's all! Great video.

      + sexylitehaiti You described my problem to a "t". All the things that make the fan work check OK.. only left to question the new temperature senor which I wouldn't want to think is bad. Did you find the solution to this situation? Thanks!

    • @electseed
      @electseed 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +sexylitehaiti Mine is a 97 Mercury Tracer, Just replaced temp. sensor (and sending unit - reason I done it because my gauge was reading high and acting sporadic ). My temp. gauge typically only runs about a 1/3 of the way over. I let it run till it was about 1/2 or slightly passed and it had not come on. I wondered if it might be even as you described-that is, it won't kick in till it get further over - out of my comfort zone - dont like the "close to overheating" point :). I can kick it on with the A/C and a little ago I straight wire the fan to a switch, but with the new sensor I thought I could eliminate that but maybe not. Don't typically require the fan, but in stop and go conditions need it.

    Thought you did a really admirable job! Good trouble shooting sequence. Now, a short comment: If I was TS this problem, and, when at operating temperature I saw the Fan Switch to still be "open," I would have taken it out and "lightly" passed the flame over the "barrel" of that sensor. (and not used the water). It would have either quickly closed, or not. There was a 95% chance that it was your problem. Do you get my drift? Seems it would save a step.
    Thought your meter use was excellent. You have a good, easy way of teaching how to do something - please keep up the good work. Thanks for the video.

    Great job breaking down the entire cooling system sir? I've had a temperature problem for a few weeks. Temp goes above the usual midway point. Have to run the AC to get the 2nd fan running to keep temps down.
    *checked thermostat - removed it(just takes longer to go up and still overshoots notmal temp).
    *checked for leaks - none.
    *ckecked water pump - ok but still replaced
    After watching your vid I used my multimeter to check the water temps through the rad cap.Started car. Fan turns on at 96C and off 89C. Both are about 10C above what the workshop manual says.
    So I'll get a new sensor and go from there.

I use to rig up and bypass the fans on cars a lot, and would do it again if I could not figure out the problem lol. nothing wrong with a temp fix.

    That was the most helpful video on this, the problem was a bad or loose connector, when it put it all back it worked fine. But I know it is one of the connectors next time it fails. great video.

    man u are the shizznet, lol but seriously ur a life saver. I'm a self and world taught mechanic. it's guys like u that taught me what I know about cars. I'm just know really learning electrical stuff cause of course the newer the car the more computers, sensors, wiring and more come with it. I've been dealing with 2010 aveo and at this point if I wasn't my mom's car I would kicked it down the road. however I watched this video cause my 2000 Plymouth grand Voyager over heated yesterday in traffic with the wife and my 4 kids with me. I discovered the fans not coming on, not even when I turned the a/c on, which of course they should immediately turn on when a/c is turned on. I was wondering how to figure what going on. u just saved me time, $ and most likely my sanity. so thanx my brother and my God bless u every day. ur saint to someone like me. thank you very much

    Great video. The best part is the home made hot water test container and custom lid made from a soda can.

    This is by far the best radiator fan diagnosis viedio I've seen! You approach it with a good scientific principle in the process of elimination. Well done! I'm definitely a subscriber :)

    It's a good tutorial. Although I don't think I would go through all that hassel of testing the fan switch, just replace it it's cheap enough.

    love that paperclip test it saved me a ton of time, my fan came on which told me the fan, relay, and fuses were good ... WOW nice trick

  • @mosesa50505
    @mosesa50505 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video man! Just FYI though, usually clicking of a relay means its good, but sometimes it still might not be working. I've always heard its good to check continuity with a multimeter to make sure the voltage is able to flow through it when opening it with 12V from the battery. Keep up the great work!
