Default Bad radiator fan motor

Hello,

I was having some problems with my AC not always cooling properly. Sometimes the air would be cold other times it would take driving for a while for the ac to began to cool again. If I drove the car a little hard then ran into stop-n-go traffic I noticed the temp go high but not over heat.

Yesterday after experiencing this again I opened the hood and saw that the radiator fan (driver side) was not running at all while the other fan was running while the AC was going. I turned off the AC the passenger side fan went off. I then tapped the electric motor of the driver side and the fan began spinning. It appears the motor has been failing.

Are there any places that rebuild Honda fan motors or just buy a new motor online?

Thanks

Never seen a place that rebuilds them. Just look online for a replacement if you are sure it is bad. On a 4 cyl the left drivers side is usually called the condensor fan.
