1992 civic dx overheating
 

I have a 92 civic dx, recently started overheating, the cooling fan doesn't run, i tested the motor it works though, and left it wired directly to the battery to get me by for now... but now the car is over heating very often, especially at high rpm or on the highway, and the radiator fan doesn't turn on as of today lol.. what should i do?

Could be the fan temp sensor, thermostat, headgasket, wiring

Any CELs?

Take the car to a mechanic

If you are going to wire direct to battery it be easier to go to the 2-wire plug on the thermo. housing just put a jumper or paperclip with the key on and the fan will kick on. If the fan does not lick on then check relay. In the summer I like to have the fan on all the time.
Did you check your coolant level, antifreeze mix, and thermostat?

Don't be douchebags, now. This kid is one of my good friends.

Instead of fixing it for him, I'm making him go through the embarrassment of asking questions on forums and figuring out things for himself.
