1990 accord overheating
My accord is overheating. the rad is brand new (was leaking). The
temperature on the dash is not registering that the car is overheating but the rad fan won't kick in and I can hear the rad fluid boiling after the car is turned off. could this be a bad thermostat? I can still get heat in the car. Or could it be the fan itself causing the problem |

Have you pressure tested the radiator cap? |

Most likely three things happened: Your coolant level is too low Your thermostat is bad and is kept close. Your cooling fan is not working (either fan motor dead or thermo switch failed) |
