Need help with cooling fan!
Okay, so I helped my friend change the cooling fan on his '92 Accord along with the thermostat. The old fan had literally melted through the fan shroud and was just sitting on the radiator core. Well, we put the new one in, refilled the radiator with new coolant and now the car doesn't over-heat, but the fan doesn't turn on either. The AC cooling fan will turn on for about 30 seconds or so and turn off as one would expect the engine cooling fan to do (yes I am 100% positive that we changed the cooling fan). There's no way to switch the wires between the two fans but again, the new one isn't turning on. Anyone know or have any ideas of what the problem is? We fixed the over-heating problem, but now the fan doesn't turn on and I don't want him to get stuck come the spring.
ANY advice would be GREATLY appreciated (other than telling him to sell the car; I've already tried that)

I did turn on the AC and no the fan didn't turn on. It was 40 something degrees outside so it was hard to say for sure whether the AC was on but you could hear the compressor turn on and the RPM's dropped very slightly.
Also checked the fuses and don't know where the temp sensor is to check that.

Can someone please point me in the right direction for the correct forum then?
I posted in 'off topic' because I didn't think it really fit in any other section being that it's not an S2000.

under the hood would be the closest thing this site offers. you could try honda-tech.com since most guys here don't have any specific experience with that car...
i'd recommend just googling for answers as this should be an easy/umbrella fix with a little electrical & mechanical knowledge...
