There are two fan switches on that car;
The main one turns the fan on and off when the ignition is on and the car is running.
The second switch powers the fan if the ignition is off and the engine temperature is too high, to cool the engine off if it was just shut down.
It sounds like your main fan switch has gone bad and needs to be replaced since it's not sending any signal to the fan, while the engine is running.

SOURCE: the cooling fan doesnt work on my 91 honda accord

  1. Cooling fan Relay
  2. Engine temp Sensor
  3. Cooling fan itself
  4. If While A/C is on Fan does not come on I would Check Fan By unplugging it first than apply Pos+ and Neg- to it if it comes on that's eliminated Then go to step 1-3 one of them is bad I usually replace Engine temp sensors no mater what they are Crucial components for the safety of the Engine.

well you should first hard wire the non working fan to the battery to see if it is ok, then I would check the engine coolant temperature sensor, it is the sensor that tells the computer to turn the radiator fan on

SOURCE: car brake lights won t turn off when car is shut down 1996 Honda Odyssey

It should be your brake light switch. There is a little plate welded to the arm of the pedal that has a hole with a rubber stopper. The rubber stopper is most likely missing, or damaged. You should be able to take a flashlight and see the plate and the switch. If the hole is plugged up, you will need the brake light switch, if not, replace the plug.

SOURCE: ticking noise in my engine when i shut off car, the red light is lit up, when car is in idle it rebs up and down while warming up

if it is when you first shut the car off it is natural to tick. if it is random and not a patterned ticking. its just the car cooling off. metal has different cooling temps and when it cools it shrinks. so therefore all engines have different metals they are made of. and they cool off at different temps so therefore when the intake manifold is made of aluminum, and the head is made of aluminum, they cool at the same rate. but if there is something steel mounted to it, it will not cool at the same rate. so then it will tick. and this is the metal head shrinking faster than the steel mounted to it. like the exhaust manifold it is steel and it will tick when it is shrinking.
but dont be alarmed it is natural.

Speedometer not working in 1995 Honda Accord. When the speedomter does not work I notice that the heat fan stops blowing. The problem is sporadic but is getting worse.

Ignition switch? when it doesnt work, slowly try to twist the key in either direction, and see if they come back to life, if so, replace the ignition switch.

I HAVE A 91 HONDA ACCORD WHICH HAS TWO ELEC FANS

Both fans cool the motor. If you have the air conditioner on both fans will run because the cars cooling system will have to disapate more heat. If you have the air conditioner off only one fan will run because the heat load on the engine isn't as great.
