Hi,
Someone pls tell me wht problem with my car.
I fixed my A/c and both the fans last month..bcoz before i had a problem like the heat indicator goes up. Then the mechanic told it's due to the bad fans.. so i changed both the fans.. but the problem is now also when i stopped in the trafic or traffic signal for some time..the heat indicator again goes up and when i put the a/c there is no problem,it goes down. Also after i switch off the engine ,there is sound of fan operating ..What the problem..It is very helpful..pls asap

check the temperature sensor...

when your A/C its "on" the engine need more cooling thats why both fans are on, but under normal conditions just one of them keeps on and off, identified which one its the a/c fan and check if the anotherone its working good.

Suggested Repair

Check the coolant temperature sensor. Identify the A/C fan and confirm the other fan cycles on and off under normal conditions; both fans run when the A/C is on, which can hide a radiator fan that is not working.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1994 Honda Accord LX says the temperature gauge rises when stopped in traffic even after both cooling fans and the A/C were replaced. Turning the A/C on lowers the temperature, and a fan can be heard running after the engine is shut off. The expert recommends checking the temperature sensor, identifying the A/C fan, and verifying that the other fan works under normal conditions.
