My crx's radiator fan broke from one of the blades. i changed the fan but the fan would not turn. I found out that the fuse had burned out. i replaced the fuse but the fan still does not turn.

Is there a relay that might have burned out? if so, Where is this relay and how can I test if it burned?

Thanks

There's a thermo switch and the thermostat. Both can cause fan switch issues. Thermo switch is on the back on the drivers side of the oil filter (on most motors) . 2 lead sensor

There's a relay too. It should be on the passenger side inner fender in front of the air cleaner box IIRC.

Does anyone have any pictures of these relay?

Here it is in the mostly disassembled engine bay of a '91 Civic...

You can test the fan motor by using a jumper wire on the two leads to the thermoswitch. Connect the two with the jumper wire and if the fan motor comes on then it's good and the thermoswitch is bad. If the fan doesn't come on it could be the motor, relay, or wiring to the fan.

That's really the trick to it. You need a file/image hosting service to make the picture available on the web where everyone can access it (as opposed to sitting on your HD where only you can see it). I use photobucket.com... The basic account is free last I checked.

It's still free. And they let you upload like 10,000 pictures. I don't think i even have 10,000 pics digitized yet
