Ok, so my 97 honda civic ex has been running hot and I need to fix it fast. The radiator fan has stopped turning whenever I'm driving. I tried replacing the motor, and that didnt work. The new motor never spins and hooking the old one to a jump made the motor spin.
I then tried looking at all the fuses and relays. All of them are in good condition, but the radiator fan still doesn't spin.
I then tried replacing the thermostat and thermoswitch/thermosensor. After all that, the radiator fan still doesnt turn on.
Btw, I used a paper clip and conncected the pins on the thermoswitch together and the fan spins all the time never turning off. This is how I'm running the car now.
I was wondering what is causing my radiator fan from coming on and is running the car with a paper clip touching the two pins bad for the car?
