Had a shop quote me $700 to do this job and thanks to your video I got it knocked out in under an hour! Thanks
I am a mechanic and this guy would be an excellent Auto Tech instructor.
excellent instructor, nothing better than a UA-cam video where the instructor speaks CLEAR ENGLISH doesn't mumble,and doesn't talk about anything else then for the work at hand, testing the fans is very important, you don't want to assemble then find out you have a defective fan, this guy gets a 10 point rating, just by watching the way he handles his tools shows he's a pro.
Here’s how I replaced the radiator fan on drivers side of my 2004 CRV. Removed top plastic cover of radiator, removed air intake snorkel, unhooked top radiator hose at radiator, removed battery and metal battery tray, was able to remove fan assembly in the area battery tray occupied. Did not have to remove bottom plastic shroud and the top metal support.
I have to replace mine this Saturday. I'm gonna try this first. Reply if you have any further pointers. Thanks.
Thanks for this comment - that’s what I did! Although I did remove an additional bracket that attaches forward of the throttle linkage. It’s held by two 10mm head bolts and allows a little bit more wiggle room to get the fan out.
Did you need to drain the radiator?
About to do this tomorrow! Did the condenser fan a few weeks ago and did not take that crossbar loose, just went in from below for those tricky clips on that fan. Hoping this one will be easier!
Excellent video. I watched several and started my project of replacing both fans, an alternator, and serpentine belt. Other videos just say “remove the wire” but I was left trying to figure out how to get them to release. Your video provided how the plugs work also which was very helpful.
This video is absolutely 100% amazing. THANK YOU. If you follow it step by step, you can do this entire thing in about three hours. Here are my bonus tips.
1) The most DANGEROUS part of the whole job is pulling the overflow hose off of the radiator cap. You need to do that with absolute care. If you break off that PLASTIC nipple, you'll need to replace the entire radiator too. I accidentally did this on our Toyota last week, but the cap elbow is replaceable ($25) on the Toyota, not so on the Honda.
2) Removing/re-attaching the under-engine skid shield will consume about 40% of this job time. Three fourths of my plastic clips broke. They were expensive at the local autoparts store ($2 per clip).
3) There are a couple of clips at the bottom of the condenser fan unit that have nothing to do with the condenser fan, yet they are a PAIN to remove.
4) If you can't slide the radiator fan over the transmission tube, climb under and manhandle the fan peg over it carefully. Treat all attachments to the radiator with kid gloves.
5) The attachment clip where the big wire bundle goes under the hood latch is hard to get with needle-nose pliers, but if you have hemostats, it's super easy.
6) Lastly, when putting the giant T-shaped frame member back, make sure the bottom of the T is on the correct side of the lower frame. I tightened all the bolts before realizing I'd got this one wrong and had to undo everything to move it half an inch (toward the engine).
Note: Our local repair shop quoted this job at $500 including parts. That's not too bad considering the time it takes (about three hours). I assume Honda would be double that.
That’s wild my mechanic did it for 80$ without parts. Part costed me 67$ (just the radiator fan) the condenser was another 50$ but mine was t broken so 147$ if I wanted my guy to do it. I had my entire a/c system replaced for 500$ just two days ago. Pressure lines, vacuumed , compressor and condenser and unfortunately my radiator fan isn’t working
@@blurr_blurr Are you in the US? Car repair rates are through the roof.
@@reflactor yeah I’m in New Jersey maybe that’s why, but yea they’re getting more expensive they actually just raised the prices of Freon the supply chain is all fudged up so they’re paying for it too unfortunately. He gave me a pretty fair price.
Thank you for this video. Can’t say much that hasn’t already been said by others. Great step-by-step instructions. You made the process so much easier than I imagined it would be. Since your instructions are a great primer on how to get more access to the front engine bay, I managed to change my thermostat, PCV valve/hose, ATF filter, and fan switch in addition to the radiator fan. One word of warning to everyone else attempting this: be careful with any wiring. In moving the fans, I managed to rip apart that connector at around 8:12, resulting in my AC not working. The wire ripped straight out of the plastic connector and the connector was never seen again. Fortunately, I found a replacement online and was able to fix it.
Good job. And glad that wire got fixed. Need that AC! 🤙🏽
Worked like a charm. Perfect step-by-step instructions--very concise and informative. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve looked at several of these now. This one is the most thorough that I’ve found.
Outstanding step-by-step video. Thank you for all the details and speed-up tips along the way. Will be doing this with Mom's 2005 CR-V next week. This will save a boatload of money.
I thought my radiator fan was not working, but read comments that it only comes on once the vehicle warms up. Thanks 👍
first time I have subscribed to anyone, thank youre . a realist and competent guy!
Accurate and complete, just saved a few hundred bucks and learned a lot about my car. Thank you!
Thanks for the well made video, there are many vids out there for this process but this one is the most clear and easy to follow. I needed help locating the wiring hookup locations and this helped tremendously!
Blackceller thanks for the feedback I’m glad it helped!
perfect! it's hard to find a repair for a 2003 crv, with the same issue that I have. thank you very much, this was very interesting and informative.
Best instructions on youtube,,the others got nothing on this video hands down,,,thanks dude!
Great video! I worked as a tech for Honda for a few years and just needed a refresher course without car being in front of me. Some days I miss working on cars at a shop much easier with a lift 😂
Excellent video man just had to remove the radiator in mine and this is an excellent step by step process. Few more steps and the whole rad could come out. Great job man 👍 just got a new sub.
This the best and detailed video. My friend and I removed and installed the radio in 4 hours. Both of us are not mechanic. Thanks
I changed the fans today! This video was a lifesaver. Thanks!
Gabriel Keogan you’re welcome, I’m glad it helped!
Excellent video with lots of important details!! Thanks!
A + Rating. Clean, Informative, well edited. Killer YT Channel.
Great, informative video, and great editing! Thank you for this video.
I'm glad you liked it!
I really appreciate this video. By watching it, I was able to fix my 2005 CR-V radiator fan and the condenser fan. I was also able to save about 40% by taking the hint toward the end of the video to only replace the motors instead of the whole fans.
Hey Frank, where'd you get your fan motors? Thanks!
@@alphanumeric1529 I checked the prices at AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts and found out one store had much cheaper motors than the other so I bought the cheaper ones. But I don't remember which one of the two stores. They are almost next to each other where I was shopping.
Thanks for the video! Followed this video and saved at least $100. Maybe more. Thanks again.
Excellent video - helped me immensely - thank you sir!
Excellent, well documented.
Good video. Good editing, no fluff.
I had very good information
Thanks
your really good on explaining the whole work, congrat,, good work, gracias amigo buerna suerte...
Carlos Pineda thanks mate, I’m glad it helped!
Great video. This helped!
Nice video. Thanks!
This worked perfectly. Thanks for all the details:-)
Great!
Great video!!!
I sure wish you were here in Alabama to fix my problem with my Honda CR-V 2002.
Dushonda Erkins let me know if the video answers your questions!
Great video
You are the best one!
Good job!
some guys mean well, but they don't fully explain things or they mumble or the have a strong accent, and YOURE like what did he just say??? lol great video.

Nice video!
robert gliese hope it was helpful!
yes very much
Thanks! I did that with key out and then did it turned forward to aux. Fan never spun. Thanks again! EDIT i was reffering the bat cable screwdriver test.
I'm glad it helped!
Nicely done Josh Hope you found the dropped bolt Ha Long flexible magnet works for me most cases
Two days ago, I purchased a Harbor Freight telescoping magnet, part of a $450 haul... My kid was like that's too much money! I didn't buy anything expensive, but there were over 50 items on the receipt. Last night in my dimly lit garage, I removed a nut, and it slipped out of the socket the second it came off the bolt, one clink, no second clink of it hitting the floor... I've been lucky with car, everything I've dropped into the engine compartment has fallen through to the floor... so far. But not last night. Opened the packaging on the telescoping magnet, (after spending 20 minutes actually trying to find where the nut came to a rest) and in seconds, nut retrieved. I really don't know how I could have retrieved it without the telescoping magnet. So, bought two days ago, absolutely saved me last night, instant return on investment! GET A MAGNET ON A STICK!
The HF magnet is straight, telescoping. It was a difficult to get it to the nut actually, as I could see the nut through a narrow crack of a narrow crack, I couldn't reach the nut through that line of sight, I had to go around the side of the engine, and blindly extend the magnet, feeling around to get it to the nut. A flexible magnet would have been better. Jack, where'd you buy your long flexible magnet?
@@alphanumeric1529 Josh , I bought it at Harbor freight many years ago and it still works great , , it's saved my bacon way too many times I must say, awesome tool to have . I'm retired now and getting too old to work on hardly anything so what's your offer to buy and ship it to you ? , I can list it on eBay store to buy it ??? Not sure that model is now available ?
Jack
@@jackbadabing Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I'll keep an eye out at Harbor Freight for the flexi magnet, no need to ebay/ship it, but I do really appreciate the offer. I too am getting too old to work on much. Changing the oil takes it out of me, just getting up, getting down, kneeling on a torn ligament in my knee I'm too poor to fix, ouch, that is insane pain. After this simple maintenance, my back is torture, my arm joints ache, and my hands... oh God, my hands. The next morning after even doing the oil, my fingers will be so swollen, they're like fat sausages and feel like someone took a dead blow mallet to them; if I try to close my fist too quickly or too strongly, my finger joints will pop out of their sockets, I have to open up my hand with the other hand and snap my finger bones back into their joints. In the morning before I get up, I have to softly and repeatedly clench my fists and feet, pumping the fluid out of the swollen tissue around my joints, so they don't dislocate.
I'm only middle aged, but I'm high mileage, and due to a disease, I've been running without oil for about 30 years. Every joint is worn out, metal on metal. The failing body is designed, I think, to remove our fear of death, instead, to make us long for it. I tell all the young people I know, enjoy your body now, because when you're in your 80's, getting out of bed is going to be so painful it is like getting t-boned at 45 mph. Every morning! Who'd want to cling to life if that were your life?
So, I'm with you on that one. But without vehicles, mortgage doesn't get paid, without mortgage, we're on the street. We just adopted a young lady, so now we have an extra kid to provide for. Can't have them living on the street, so I clench my jaw, tighten my gut and power through... until I can't move anymore, then through the night as my wife sleeps, beg God to take me, until it's time to get up and do it again...
God bless!
thx well done
Hey I like all your videos Your really good mechanic! Would you know if I would have enough room in my CRV 04 to get the A/C compresser out by removing fans ad radiator and pull it from the top? I seen other videos where they drop subframe but mine is pretty rotted round the bolts that hold it up! Thanks for the great vids you make too!!
If you disconnect the ect you can use a paper clip and test the fans without ever starting the car , in the 03 it's a simple wiring and both fans will engage
Fantastic video, really helped me replace both fans today. However, in the struggle to get the fans out, I pulled a wire out of the harness that is clipped to the bottom of the condenser fan. Now the a/c doesn't blow cold. Do you know what the harness clipped into the bottom of the condenser fan goes to/could this be my problem? If so, I'll just replace the harness with a jumper cable.
Thanks again for the informative and well made video!
I’m afraid I couldn’t say for sure without it in front of me but a lot of times wiring from other parts of the engine get clipped to the fan shrouds and can get broken when you don’t know they are there. But I would definitely say try to reconnect the broken wire and go from there! There’s often a small single wire that goes to the ac compressor, make sure that’s there and intact!
AI brought me here. Great video!
Thanks for coming
Wanted to like your video so hard for talking about just replacing the motor, but it’s already at 420 likes.. gonna be a bro and not disturb that magical number 😉
With much respect for you for making this video ...you are the best instructor...wonder all cars are so complicated to reach the fans ...I bought a used crv went to a mechanic for some jobs about this car, mechanic said these crvs are pain in the ass...now I see it seems he was right...for many years my job is delivery job , I have had all kinds of cars , always I change fans myself ...but not this time ..thank you so much showing me how many bolts and nuts should be removed
Did you check the ect before replacing the fans ?
only thing with josh HES NOT wearing shoes, cause if something drops on big toe, call it a day LOL
Hey man! AMAZING VIDEO. I like'd and sub'd. I have some quick questions. So both my fans are not coming on. I unplugged the top connector to the fan and multimetered that and got 14.6 volts, which is more then the 12 volts I am supposed to get. Is that bad? Is there another connector I need to meter as well? I assume seeing that they are getting power means that the fans should be turning on so it is either bad fans now or bad relays or fuses. HOW DO I TEST THE FUSES AND RELAYS before replacing the fans themselves with your video?
if you are getting 14v at the fan plug (which is fine) then your fan is bad. It means power is getting thru your fuses and relays properly. There's a chance your fan plug or wiring could be bad so check out my video for testing your fan: ua-cam.com/video/0a8ZagFlsnE/v-deo.html
Hi I got a 2004honda crv 3.0 radiator fan not working the crv overheating
Subbed and like liked
Josh - I am confused. Is the fan closet to the passenger side - the condenser fan? If so I had them reversed.
Frank Pearman yes I removed the condenser fan first and it is on the passenger side. Ref: 8:32
Whats the part number ? I bought a autozone one and does not fit
my crv condenser fan is not working but the radiator fan is. do i have to replace both or just the condenser. my ac is blowing cool but NOT cold air. could the condenser fan not working cause the air to not be cold?
Unsure of your last question, but ac will not function properly without condenser fan! Often you can buy the fans separately BUT often it’s the same price to buy an assembly with both fans. Just look at parts and prices, but you do have options.
Just replace both. If one has gone bad, the other will follow soon. On this vehicle they work in tandem, if you turn on A/C both fans turn on, if car engine warms up, both fans turn on. So here in Florida, they run 95% of the time.
We have a 2009 Honda crv and my pops believes that the radiator fan only works with the AC on, is that a possibility
Yes with modern electronics all kinds of wacky stuff can happen but normally the fan that comes on with ac is the condenser fan, the other fan (you have two right?) is controlled by the temp sensor and only comes on when engine hits certain temperature. I would test the fans themselves and make sure they’re working. Check out our video on how to test budget-style
ua-cam.com/video/0a8ZagFlsnE/v-deo.html
So I did all of this but for some reason my AC just stopped working what's the problem?
Hard to say, they’re are many parts to the ac system. Sometimes you need to start by getting the systems professionally evacuated and refilled so you can see if low coolant is the problem
I have a honda CRV 2007; It has 2 fans ; Fan-1 on the driver seat side & Fan-2 on the passenger side ;; my driver seat side Fan (FAn-1) is not working when I start AC & I drive almost 35 kms;; is it normal? Fan-2 is always running (Even AC on / off & car in neutral position); Is it normal? Fan-1 will work only if the engine coolant is getting hooter? otherwise it will not work? (I read it is so as set on control system); please some one clarify me;;
Since I do not have the car in front of me anymore, I can’t remember which fan is the AC fan and which is the radiator fan. The radiator fan comes on when the engine gets up to operating temperature. The AC fan comes on when the air-conditioning system is operating, it will also come on if the engine gets too hot
...should give the reason for replacing ... i.e. overheating ...AC not cold, etc
Yeah. Our CRV has been overheating through the last half of summer, mostly when in stop and go traffic. So much other stuff going on in our life (just adopted a young lady desperately in need of help, and everything else), let it ride. On the last hot day of the summer, while my wife was driving home, the AC compressor exploded like a bomb in the engine compartment. I think it destroyed the crankshaft seal, as the engine compartment was covered in motor oil from the oil pouring out of the crankshaft seal (I think) onto the serpentine belt, and then was flung all throughout the engine compartment, and onto the passenger tire and passenger wheel break shroud, all along the underside of the car back to the back passenger tire and breaks. Oil EVERYWHERE. When I checked, the engine oil was really low, still above the min mark, though the engine sat for a long time before I checked its level. The engine may have blown, I don't know at this point. It still runs, but there are some clacking/clinking noises.
When I took off all of the front underside, and tire well trim (took way longer than I thought it would, almost every black trim tab thingy broke on removal...), I found jagged triangular aluminum shards over an inch in size, and progressively smaller shards all the way down to a fine aluminum powder... all over the engine compartment. I didn't see the powdered aluminum at first. But upon really close inspection all throughout the engine compartment, there are bright little dots here and there. I'm concerned that these can short sensors, connectors, wire harnesses and other unimaginable things. I spent the entire day, until 2 am last night, just cleaning oil off the engine and various wire bundles, hoses, suspension components, and body frame members. The compressor's explosion was so violent, it blew the oil dipstick out of the engine. I shudder when I wonder if aluminum shards entered the engine through the dipstick hole...
I *THINK* this was all caused by the radiator and ac fans both not working.
Is there a way to diagnose if it is the fans themselves, the relays, or the switches BEFORE taking out and replacing these fans, it looks like a real PITA (though, I have all the trim off already because the AC died from the black death, I'm sure there are aluminum shards and powder all throughout the ac system. I can't just put a new compressor in, it'd blow in a week because of those shards in the system. So, the complete AC system replacement cost may be a significant portion of the blue book value of the CRV... AND the engine/crankshaft who knows what else, may have also been damaged from the explosion... this may have totaled the car, a car I hoped to put an additional 100,000 miles on... sad times).
Witch one is the radiator fan and witch one is the condenser fan?
When the car is cold and the ac is off normally neither fan is on. Turn on the ac and the condenser fan will immediately kick on (if your ac system is functioning properly). Also if you can locate your condenser (which sits sandwiched to your radiator, and looks like a small radiator) the fan that blows on it is your condenser fan. Or worst-case scenario look up the parts online and match them to what you have in the car
You don't need to unplug the radiator. You just need to jump the relay port with a probe wire (ground is always grounded positive is jumped to bypass the relay). Pro tip next time
Anyone tried this and got an idea of the time commitment if all goes well?
It’s been a while but I feel like hour and a half two hours would be plenty of time
Took me about three hours, but I had a heck of a time with the under-engine skid guard (most of the clips broke) and I had to undo the T-frame twice. Without this great video, it would've taken me an entire day (and that's optimistic).
"i'm just gonna cut this and, zip-tie it later.." 😏 mhmmm sure you are 😆
Thanks for a great video. That clip at the bottom of the condenser fan is driving me crazy! My side cutter won't do it and I neglected to raise the car before I started so I have even less room down there. I'm stuck at this point: ua-cam.com/video/53qhIfgZPYs/v-deo.html

stealership quoted me over 2k for parts and labour. I just sold the car instead.
