Hi mr blonde,

The fan switch is located near the oil filter on the engine block.

To replace the fan motor, you need to remove it from the radiator and get it off the shroud. Upper radiator hose is required to be removed.

If the fan motor is faulty, replace it first. Thermo switches are rather reliable for Hondas.
