My wife has a 1998 Honda accord. On very hot days while in traffic the
car starts to overheat. This happens faster when using the AC and
slower while the heater is on. Also as long as the car is driving
faster the problem goes away. I noticed that there are two fans, one
on the driver side and one on the passenger side. The fan on the
passenger side does not seem to be coming on at all while the driver
side is working. We just recently replaced the radiator and thermostat
so I doubt it is one of those things. Any help is appreciated!

the fact that one fan's not working should be a clue! go to tegger.com
for the faq's and how to diagnose/fix radiator fan problems.

If you just replaced your radiator, maybe the mechanic forgot to reconnect
that fan. Take a look for a loose wire and check the connectors. Take it
apart and reconnect it.
