if your fans stay on when you shut the car off it sounds like you got the sensors mixex up on the head and neck where the radiator hose connects. thats what happened to mine.double check that

oh no, I checked the sensor, its good, its just a frayed wire thats not giving it any contact, that's why they stay on. So today I went to the JY and got a sensor w/ more wire so I can solder the two wires together. Its that tiny sensor under the dizzy, the one thats cylindrical in shape about the size of a pencil....the one that sends the coolant temp level in the dash.

FYI: This temperature 1-wire sender unit has the only purpose to send a signal to coolant temp gauge on the dash. This sender unit has nothing to do with your fans.

Find out which fan is staying on, the radiator or A/C fan, then it would be that respective thermoswitch. Radiator fan is closest to battery stock location. The radiator thermoswitch is on the Tstat housing and the A/C is on the water outlet housing, both can be bought new from Majestic Honda if this is the issue, $30-35/each.

Hondafan I had Kai over the day before and we checked the thermo switch for his radiator fans. The switch was fine and once it sat for a while the switch cooled down and opened the circuit and the fans shut off.

On the thermosensor for the temperature gauge I had a mechanical wire clamp that we used to bridge the wires together on a connector that Kai got from a local yard. The only thing left is to solder it up when he had time.

well...my bad steve, it turned out that sensor, you know the one where you spliced that wire for? well that SENSOR was bad, so that's why we were getting inaccurate readings. I put in a JY one and all is well now

Well at least it was an easy fix...
