    Well the fan in my 91 Accord for the ventilation (heater, AC) stopped
    working (it been a little noisy lately, now its just dead). Is it expensive
    to get fixed? Also, I must say I'm pretty ignorant, I opened the hood and
    noticed that the 2 big radiator fans between the engine block and the
    radiator were not running, are those thing supposed to be running all the
    time or just when the engine get hot? (weather is rather cool these days)
    and is it related with the ventilation inside the car?

    thanks!

    Hi,
    Rad cooling fan is controlled by thermostat so some times it runs some
    times not. One under dash is for a/c and heating. They are not related.
    Under dash fan is squirrle cage type usually. Either brushes are worn
    out or bearing is shot. You can try to repair ot replace the whole unit.
