The fans will likely come on with the A/C. One is to help cool the radiator when you aren't moving, and the other is for the A/C when there isn't enough airflow to cool the condenser. Both fans may continue to run even after the car is turned off.

SOURCE: idling problem when ac turned on honda civic lxi 1999

Hi,

To my knowledge (at least in my country), some Honda Civics have a compensator solenoid the pushes on the throttle that adjust the engine's RPM to its standard idling when the A/C compressor is activated. Technically, this solenoid is nothing more but a coil and a plunger. When the compressor runs, the same relay activates this solenoid and pushes the plunger forward increasing the RPM. Pls check/clean/adjust/replace as deemed fit and necessary.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Air conditioner condenser and radiator fan stays on in 1999 honda accord

It is normal (required) for the condenser fan to continuously run while the ac is operating. It is like that on almost every vehicle.

Why does the Airconditioner condenser and radiator fans stay on and run continuously without turning off on my 1999 honda accord whenever the a/c is turned on? This started happening after I had a front...

Sounds like a micro switch problem.
the relay is staying and saying on even when off. An electric program test should fix the problem. They are small diagnostic machines that plug into a socket either under the bonnet or in/near the glove box.

2001 Jeep Laredo has 2 fans at the radiator - are both fans supposed to run all the time?

Hi,
The answer to that is NO!
There are two fan motors on that area. One is for the radiator cooling system and the second is for the condenser( Airconditioning system ).
The radiator fan starts/run when the engine temperature reaches a certain temperature( electric thermo switch on the radiator ), while the A/C fan starts whenever you switch on the a/c.
Hope that clears up everything.
Thanks for asking FixYa!

The AC in my 1992 Honda Accord works. However, it blows hot air when I'm stopped at a light for too long. "Honda diagnosed the problem; said something about some type of thermostat that sticks,...

This indicates that the booster fan for AC has failed. If you look in back of the radiator, you will see 2 electric fans. One is for the engine cooling, and the other is a booster for when the AC is running to provide for extra air flow through radiator and AC condenser. (May also apply when engine overheats, but not sure of that) As car is moving along, then air is pushed through allowing AC to work. When standing still, and fan failed, then no air (or less air) passing over condenser grill. (Condenser is the one in front of the radiator) No cool.
While standing still with engine running, open the hood and look at fans. Watch your fingers. Fans can start at any time. One may be running or not. Now turn on AC and look at fans. Both should come on together. If not, then it may be either the fan, or the fan relay or fuse. Or even the wire.
Does the engine get extra hot while standing still running? Let it sit there for ten mins or so and see if main fan kicks on. Watch your temp gauge, you dont want it to boil over. When the temp reaches the level it is at normally, one fan should kick on. If temp keeps climbing and no fan, then that may be the same issue, likely the main relay.

Jump air compressor ac works replace relays same issue HONDA

the compressor may be low on freopn but, the fan problem is most likely the fan motor as it is the low temp fan and will run more often than both fans...to test see if you can switch the fan plugin to the other fan watch carefully that it does not get too hot as the second fan is a safety fan that works as high temp or when using the A\C

One of my fan is not working 1999 Honda Accord

Which fan is not working, A/C or Radiator? Check fuses, if good disconnect fan plug, direct wires from battery to fan to check fan, if fan does not work change. If fan works check water temp sensor for radiator. A/C fan only comes on when A/C is switch on. Like wise radiator fan only comes on when water reaches a certain temperature.

Trying to replace the ac condenser fan on a 92 honda accord. How do you get to the bottom bolt??

You will have to remove the lower splash pan (plastic thing that goes across the entire front underneath, not hard to remove) from under the radiator in order to get at the lower fan bolts. The condenser fan shroud had a single lower retaining bolt; the radiator fan shroud has two.
Hope this is helpful.

Sounds like the AC relay/switch is sticking on sometimes. Locate and swap this relay. Look at your fuse box lids for location or search online for the exact location. You also might have a leak in the ac lines or the AC condenser clutch is not engaging to kick the ac on. You should feel a slight power loss or hear a slight stutter in the engine when pressing your AC switch. This means everything kicked on. It's a millisecond before the ECU realizes this and kicks up the idle to compensate.
