93 Honda accord overheating. New radiator, compressor, thermostat. Fans are not coming on. AC does not engage at all. Fluids Ok. Heater does work. Just got it back from shop. Help!

I paid 1800 to fix this car and it gets hot and smells like it is overheating, but no smoke. I pull over and try to get home. I am at my wits end and sick of getting ripped off. I ran it and noticed the fans never came on. Checked the fuse. OK. Where is the sensor? Can I do it myself? This car is bringing me to tears..................

If you can trust your mechanic he should guarantee that it works for that kind of money. I would talk to him and let him know what it is doing. Do not get angry when telling him and just maybe he can fix it. It could be a simple fix. I have had things like that happen .If a computer is involved might be a sensor.

SOURCE: 2001 honda accord, air conditioner is not working,

one fan is for the a/c it will cycle on when the a/c is turned on the other fan should be linked to the temperature sensor. check your fuses if you haven't already. then check your temp sensor. i'm not sure on a honda but most newer cars have multiple sensors so you will have to find out which on is for the fan. also you need to find out if the fan is controled by a pcm as some new model cars have almost everything controled through the powertrain control module

93 GMC Safari overheating. This happened spontaneously. Runs hot very quickly when I drive it. There is antifreeze in both radiator and overflow res, overflow res fills up more after driving a bit. ...

It would appear your thermostat is stuck in the closed position , find where it is on your engine, drain coolant and remove thermostat housing and stat, replace housing(liquid gasket OK) and coolant. now run engine, turn heater controls to hot leaving filler cap off, top up any water to max and replace cap now warm up to temp until fan comes on. if all ok replace thermostat with a new one and new gasket, you could also flush the sytem out at the same time with a hose pipe by loosening one of coolent pipes and flush radiator.

Replaced the temp sensor? "Burped" the system? Sure the thermostat is in the right way? You can even try running without the thermostat to see if that helps.

I have a 1997 Honda Accord ex that's running hot only when the ac is on. When im parked and have the ac on it doesn't run hot until i start driving for about 20 mins or so. Both fans are coming on...

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. The fans should come on as soon as you turn the a/c on. There shouldn't be any delay. You could have a bad water pump, valve, or impeller. A bad head gasket can cause overheating also, but I would look into the pump first. Do the flush first. It may help. If it doesn't, look at the water pump.

The AC in my 1992 Honda Accord works. However, it blows hot air when I'm stopped at a light for too long. "Honda diagnosed the problem; said something about some type of thermostat that sticks,...

This indicates that the booster fan for AC has failed. If you look in back of the radiator, you will see 2 electric fans. One is for the engine cooling, and the other is a booster for when the AC is running to provide for extra air flow through radiator and AC condenser. (May also apply when engine overheats, but not sure of that) As car is moving along, then air is pushed through allowing AC to work. When standing still, and fan failed, then no air (or less air) passing over condenser grill. (Condenser is the one in front of the radiator) No cool.
While standing still with engine running, open the hood and look at fans. Watch your fingers. Fans can start at any time. One may be running or not. Now turn on AC and look at fans. Both should come on together. If not, then it may be either the fan, or the fan relay or fuse. Or even the wire.
Does the engine get extra hot while standing still running? Let it sit there for ten mins or so and see if main fan kicks on. Watch your temp gauge, you dont want it to boil over. When the temp reaches the level it is at normally, one fan should kick on. If temp keeps climbing and no fan, then that may be the same issue, likely the main relay.

You will need to replace your heaters resister switch, which will make your heater work from 1 through 4 but is not your overheating problem. I would make sure your fan is working when when your engine gets hot.

Jump air compressor ac works replace relays same issue HONDA

the compressor may be low on freopn but, the fan problem is most likely the fan motor as it is the low temp fan and will run more often than both fans...to test see if you can switch the fan plugin to the other fan watch carefully that it does not get too hot as the second fan is a safety fan that works as high temp or when using the A\C

A/C compressor not engaging

The cooling fans are supposed to come on when the ac is turned on,for some reason ,they did not,and the relief valve most likely let the freon out to keep the compressor from locking up,it will most likely need freon,and most likely the high pressure switch in the ac line will need replacing,this is what tells the fans to come on when the ac is turned on.
