huffman150 -> Troubleshooting a Couple Things (6/24/2008 2:00:13 PM)

Hi, I''m new to the site, this is the first problem I''ve had with my 2000 Honda Accord EX 2.3 VTEC. Hopefully I can get some good advice on here.
Ok, so first off, I''m cruising down the road, I get a smell in the car, I notice a change if engine temp (just above half way instead of just below), and my A/C goes out. I''m close to home so I only drove it another 3 min max, and it turns out my cooling fan(drivers side), ate up two rows of my radiator ribbon stuff. The smell was the motor for the fan burning up and overheating/melting the fan.
So, I bought a new fan assembly, installed it, and I''m at a crossroads. I havn''t seen the fan come on, I don''t know if this means the wire coming from the other fan is fried as well or it only comes on at certain temperatures like when I''m in the car driving it and can''t see it. I have opened the hood after I reach my dest. and it''s not on.
Also, when I turn the air on, the other fan(pass side) comes on fine, but I get no cold air, and if I drive the car for few minutes or so, when I sit in neutral, the engine revs in low RPM range(900-1500) for a little bit, then calms down. Mind you, the temp guage shows normal tempurature and it doesn''t show any signs of overheating.
Could the burning up of the fan motor have fried the wiring?
Did I just happen to run out of freon at the exact same time my fan/radiator accident happened?
