Default Honda accord lx 1991 radiator fans not running!

So I bought my accord from auction with a twin/dual cam engine but I dont know how to hook up the radiator dual fans with only one radiator relay cap plastic thing. The other fan just has a blue and black cable. Then the one plastic relay had a live red wire when hooked up to the battery runs constantly even when the card off. What do I do? Ahhhh. Thank you.

Always fun trying to figure out someone elses mess. This sounds like someone did some creative wiring for you.

Best I can do is explain the "OE set up" and then you will have to figure out how to either get it back to that or where to splice in to make BOTH fans run when they should.

So i did my best to re-run from the battery back to everything else. boy is it confusing. so from the battery a line runs into the dash and all the way back to the trunk to a little three wire transfer. but whats weird is i check the radiator relay from the actual radiator fan and it runs into a couple cable runs that go into the fog lights and head lights but ultimately it comes out to a single cable the was running to a patch into that cable that goes to the trunk that was a postitive. so when i hook it up to it like it was originally the radiator fan runs constantly. even when the car is off. does this mean i need to check the alternator or the two heat sensor things from the diagrams? man such a mickey mouse job. thank you.

Default Smog?

I just checked the car on the Department of consumer Affairs website and it last passed smog 04/17/2011. Think it'll pass smog? Just a guess. I'm not trying to drive it until I have it all legit and ready to go on the road.
