Why won't a cooling fan turn on 1996 Honda Civic?

There could be 3 or 4 reasons for this...

First, check the simplest thing, the fuse. Next, check for a faulty fan thermostat or damaged wiring to the fan. Lastly, it's possible the fan motor itself is faulty.

i come to find that if your Honda civic has a coolant leak and runs hot...... your thermostat will be stuck in the closed position and wont allow the coolant fan to come on
