Hello,

I've got a 97 Civic and the fan is not working on the AC/Heater. The AC works - as does the heat - air will force through the vents while driving and blow hot or cold, but the fan does not turn on.

For a long time, it only stopped working intermittently, Then it started not working when it gor extremely hot or extremely cold (of course). Later, it would come back on when I hit a bump or ran over a railroad track.

Lately, it's just not worked at all.

Recently, I took it in for inspection and they said I needed an "AC Motor Mount" which apparently meant the motor mount on the "AC side" of the motor. My thinking is, if the motor mount was loos/broken, hitting those bumps may have been hitting the AC fan motor and that's why it would come back on.

Anyways, it sounds like it could be simply aloose connection that's finally come all the way loose. Anyway, what I want to know is if there's any way I can check? I don't even know where any of that stuff is! Is the AC fan motor accessible from under the hood, or is it a take the dash out kind of thing?


TIA

 

welcome to the forum stevel: enjoy your stay. On the a/c motor mount, I take this to be the compessor that needs new bushings under the hood. you are talking about the ac/heater fan, its a heater blower. If you go tomajestic honda .com to parts , you will find your item under heater blower and it should be in side of the car on the passenger side behind the glove box. your car has 2 fans behind the radiator, one if the cooling fan, the other is the a/c fan. If you turn on the a/c, both fans go on. If the engine is warm and gets to a higher temp, the rad cooling fan will go on by it's self.

 

Oh forgot to mention, you should get yourself a manual, or go to the library and view the info. This is also to help you take better care of your car. every car I have now, I purchase a repair manual for it. Helps to know a little of the car your drive.
