I check fuses hood,dash.. all ok. I the harnest wiring seems to be all connect too. I guess i have to just buy a new fan... Unless others have any other suggestions?

Check your thermostat: Heres how....

If its not that, check for leaks. Another common problem is a faulty "fan switch". Its a metal piece that screws directly into your motor... located towards the back of the motor... kinda behind your distibutor cap.... and it has a plastic plug, plugged into the top of it. Honda retails it for about $45. You can buy a Mugen one for $50... but you'll have to get a Mugen Thermostat for $85 for it to work as it was designed to. The Mugen setup turns your fan on at 80, instead of 93 degrees.
