Passenger side fan works when AC is switched on and when the car warms up, but the AC fan(driver side) does not turn on when the AC is switched on. And I haven't seen it turn on when the car warms at idle.

I ran direct power from the battery to the AC fan and it turned on, so I know my AC fan motor is fine.

I did a search but could not find details on how to diagnose from here on out.

The color of the wires connecting to the AC fan from the wire harness is green/white and a peach colored wire. These wires seem to track up to the top of the radiator into the box mounted to the top of the radiator. I opened that box up and found a bunch of relays/switches.

PLease help.....my car hasn't overheated yet, but I do not like driving it knowing the AC fan is not turning on with the AC on.

To my best knowledge, it seems power isnt getting to the AC fan, which relays do I need to change or check, thanks in advance.

The online manual has this info (page 23-10), the longer fuse box attached by the radiator:

The second large relay from passenger side is the radiator fan main relay.
The front most small relay on the drivers side is the radiator fan relay.
The front most small relay second on drivers side is the condenser fan relay ** this is the one you need to check**.

switch around the black relays to test it should turn on. Then go buy a new relay to replace it.

thanks arione and daddyk, i did inspect the relay in that box on the radiator. I went ahead and switched the wiper relay with the condensor fan relay. like majic the condensor fan turned on, and my wiper works too, but only the first two speed intervals work, when i put my wiper on fast, it just stops moving. Im researching on where to get these relays, other than the dealer, where else have you guys been picking these up? Im gonna check junkyards this week, thanks again for your responses, couldnt have done it without the forum. GOOD WORK GUYS!!!!!!

hey 89, glad everything worked out. I don't recall the exact price of those relays but, I've had to replace mine twice and picked them up at the dealer. The cost shouldn't be that bad. call honda first then acura.
