Guest FROSTIE Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I got into a traffic jam with my 93 VFR and my temperature gauge was agout 3/4 of the way up in the temerature range ( it never got into the red) yet the fan never came on I was wondering at what point the fan should come on.

Guest Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 About halfway it should kick on. In my experience with digital readout Honda's its been on at 216F or thereabouts and will turn itself off at 212F. If yours went that high I'd say unless your gauge is faulty, your fan isn't working right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4 Rosso Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The fan should kick in at around 95C (that's somewhere between halfway and three quarter on my VFR's temp gauge. You can check if the fan is still working by bypassing the fan motor switch which is located on the rear left of the radiator. Bypassing is done by shorting the fan motor switch wire to ground.

Member Contributer JZH Posted July 1, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted July 1, 2012 FYI, the switch point is usually marked on the body of the switch, in C. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
