recently my car started over heating. we replaced the thermostat to find out the fan just isnt kicking on. so replace the fan motor. problem here is the only replacement motors i could find are "universal" and look to be a lot longer than the original motor. no one had even a picture of the original one. my question is: if i get this universal motor, is there an easy way to get it in? i have A/C lines running across the top of where the fan will be, and its hard enough getting the stock motor in there. id rather not have to bleed the ac lines and recharge it if possible. also, if the universal motor wont go in easily, how much can i expect to pay honda for one, assuming they have it?
also, the universal motor looks a lot like the other fan. but the fan that isnt kicking on when the car starts is the one on the driver's side. im fairly certain this is the cause of the overheating because you can flick the blades of the fan to get it started and the car wont over heat with it running. the motor just wont start when its hot.
anyway, hope this question makes sense, i havent slept much in the last few days.
