Radiator and thermostat tutorial on a manual transmission 95 Honda Accord. This tutorial will work on any manual tranny 94-97 Accord and will be similar for 90-93 and 98-02 Accords. Automatics are similar with the exception that you need to take off 2 cooler lines connected at the bottom of the radiator and attach them to the new radiator core.

if i just want to take out the radiator where should i stop at to know? im not very car savvy

[nukem384]

@RCDC93 thats exactly what this install is for. do the whole thing!

[livefortheone51]

on an automoatic, what fluids run out of the 2 cooler lines? should i be careful about how much drains out?

[nukem384]

@livefortheone51 i believe its auto tranny fluid. you need to cap the lines while you take the radiator off.

So i need to replace my thermostat in a 2004 Honda Civic ex.....do you know if it is anything like this or totally different. I just dont wanna pay for something I can learn to dol. By the way great video...its very much appreciated.

[nukem384]

@Beth00able my assumption would be that its similar. i know the older civics, the thermo was easier to get to than the accord. does the 04 civic have the k20 engine? either way, i think the thermostat should be connected to the upper radiator hose, so it should be easier than my car.

Hey you said make sure both fans are working in my 94 accord only one of them turn on after replacing the fan switch but the other one doesnt turn on but it works will that be the problem whit over heating

[zeeconstructions]

informative but should ve made a vedio

Thank you for this video! It was invaluable to me when my '95 Civic EX (obviously very similar to the Accord) began overheating. I ended up replacing the radiator, thermostat and the cooling fan motor switch. Your video made it easy. The only major difference on the Civic was the location of the radiator fan plug and the lack of a bleeder valve which Honda removed on all post '95 Civics, so I learned. So I'm happy! But it was a hell of a way to spend my Labor Day weekend. :P

So I bought a 95 Accord from a guy who I don't think was all that smart. He cut a whole crapload of stuff, and just completely rmoved a few things... like the horn. Question: He cut the 2 hoses that come from the bottom of the radiator. What is the purpose of these? Where should they be going to? If you can tell me where the horn goes that'd be cool too. I picked up a new one, but don't know where it goes

Thanks for the "video". i found it pretty helpful on changing out my 96 accord automatic. i would only add some more detail on taking off the coolant hoses (had a hard time disconnecting the lower hose) and some more detail on disconnecting the transmission cooler lines. don't worry too much about capping them, just refill the transmission with ATF to replace whatever was in the lower reservoir and what dripped out of the hoses.

thanks again! (took me 3 hours)
