Engine Cooling problem
1989 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 150k miles

ive replaced the temp sensor and the radiator fan switch. i checked both fans. the right one works. the left one doesnt. neither fan comes on with the engine running and the car overheats. i plugged the wire harness for the left one into the right fan and it came on when i shut the car off but stayed on for at least thirty minutes until i disconnected it. i also tried a different relay. many years ago i was an ase mechanic but i cannot figure out this honda. please help

check the fan controller timer which is under right front seat. also there are 2 temperature switches, one at the right side of radiator and the other at the right center of engine. make sure both are checked out.
