Unfortunately that web page does not display right even in IE Ver. 6
SP2. It's full with "if" and "endif" source lines.

Yeah, I noticed that too just now - it was designed for IE6 and worked fine.
Wonder what's going on with that page..

 

To web developers. Avoid using MSWord to create Webpages. They
aren't cross-browser compatible - can't even display on its own MS
browser. Here's a screen shot of the errors.

A quick Google search I find a place to design and copy and paste the
standardized source code into your site.

disconnect the fan then jump it directly to the battery. If it
doesn't turn your fan motor is cooked. If it is the radiator fan you
can get a motor for about $50. If it is a AC condensor fan I have
only been able to find a complete assembly about $120. Probably what
is wrong is the brushes are worn out, but I have yet to find any
replacements.

If it does turn you probably have a thermo/relay that is bad.

 

I just went through the same problem on my 90 civic ex. I read in
several threads that the motors are extremely robust and hardly ever
fail... stupidly I didn't test it before buying a new thermo switch.
Replaced the switch for $50 (and a face-full of coolant taking it out)
and fan STILL didn't work. Just ordered a replacement motor for $43.
Grrrrrrr....

Now I'll get the motor and the relay will be bad... as the saying goes,
If I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck at all.
