Appears the cooling fans behind the radiator are not working. Recently had the air conditioner recharged. Still have an issue with not getting much cold air when stopped in traffic or in park with the air conditioner on high. I checked the fuses. The shop that recharged my air conditioner suggested the fans be replaced.

Is there anything I should check before replacing both fans? Also it this fairly easy to install new parts? I have the Honda service manuals and a free weekend. Thanks.

Hi PLCLARK,

A free weekend is nice, I like working on cars too over the weekend it fun and it keeps us out of trouble. Replacing the cooling fans is not problem at all. Check Amazon for the cooling fans they have a good price on them. Here is a guide on what you are in for when doing the repair.

Thanks. I also decided to replace the relay. Will see if that fixes it.
