Honda Repair: 98 crv shows overheating, condenser fan motors, condenser fan motor


Question
my 98 crv has suddenly started showing high temps at times, checked fan fuses, both ok, condenser fan will not come on, even with a/c running... check engine light is on... coolant level adjusted and okay.... what do i check next ? radiator is not boiling over.

Answer
Condenser fan motors do go out. You may have a condenser fan motor that is faulty.
Check for the operation of condenser fan motor:
Ignition switch ON
Engine OFF
A/C ON
Blower fan motor ON
You need to see if both fans come on under above conditions. If condenser fan stays off, then more than likely you need to replace the condenser fan motor first before further diagnosis.
