When you have to remove a fan that needs an adjustable wrench what size wrench is good for most cars like that? Would a 15, 18, or 25 inch work? I was thinking about getting a 15 inch long one
@nico27004 Using the proper size wrench would be ideal for the job, however if that's all that you have is an adjustable wrench, you may want to use one on the smaller side so that you can easily assess all of the bolts. Hope this helps you out.
Can you make a video for changing out the thermostat housing(not the thermostat cover, the part behind it that holds the thermostat)for 1994-1997 honda accord? Please, I would like to see if I can change that on my own, or if I really need a mechanic to replace my thermo housing with the their tools.
@TrystShawn82 We currently do not have an auto repair video on this particular repair. We'll keep this in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. We carry the Haynes repair manuals on our website that should show you how to make this repair. Here's a link to them on our website. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com/1A/repairmanual/Honda/Accord/1AMNL00031/219914/1994
@1aauto tyvm for replying :) I wound up taking the car into a mechanic anyway. The 2nd bolt started stripping(attempting to take off the housing). I did not continue, as I did not want to destroy my engine further. I have a Haynes manual already. It does not show or tell how to remove the thermostat housing in the cooling, heating, and air conditioning systems chapter(3), only the thermostat itself, as well as the cover :(
@babylokita0514 The thermostat tells the radiator fan when to kick off and on so that it cools the motor down. If the thermostat doesn't work it could cause the motor to over heat.
@dodgerfan931 Depending on how hot it was on most vehicles it will run between 210-215 degrees. Not sure if it was boiling inside of the radiator. If you would like to change the fluid you should wait until the vehicle has cooled down.
Nice vid...I was having overheating issues and checked the fuse for the cooling fan and it was blown. I put in a new fuse and it blew also...have not checked anything else...do yall have any instruction vids or advice on what to check for the blown fuse..?
@edwelch4 As of right now we do not. You may want to check for a corroded connection, or a frayed wire somewhere that ties into that fuse. Either of those things could cause a fuse to blow.
@MrMotoR6 You need to find where that steam is coming from. Look for loose or cracked hoses, loose radiator cap etc. If there is radiator fluid coming from a crack in the radiator then you need to replace it. Is the car running hot according to the temp gauge? If it is then you could have a bad thermostat or water pump.
If the thermostat is not opening, would this cause the fan not to come on?

@nooch812 If it's a mechanical fan it could be a bad fan clutch.

@1aauto If it's an electrical fan on the vehicle that you have it could be a bad relay or sensor that tells the fan when to kick on.

@g19hoops83 Check your fuses first. If the fuses are OK then consider replacing the fans.
