2001 Honda Accord AC Relay & AC Fuses, Troubleshooting

[@LSD4DLS]

Somebody give this guy a hand 👏 This Guy! one-handing everything; the dexterity, The Manipulations, THE CONTROL, while in the other hand he’s holding our hand through the entire tutorial and with his other hand, recording with his free hand so he can point to show us whatever he talks about. This guy is getting out of hand.

[@dennis922foryou]

Tapping on the relay switched did the trick for me. Please accept my sincere gratitude!

[@texvanwinkle]

I'll add to the positive pile. This was one of the best troubleshooting videos-of any kind, not just on a vehicle-that I've seen. Clear video and audio, addressed every part of the system, clear recommendations for testing each part. Instant save and subscribe.

[@justincase8533]

Like others have said, Excellent explanation in figuring out AC issues.. Thank you!

[@expsterm1]

Excellent explanation. I am going to check the relays and fuses first. I recharged my 02 Accord and the ac worked for a while then it's stopped working. thanks.

[@Toastedoatz]

Straight to the point clean video approach I will follow

[@sethrodgers4197]

Fantastic video. Informative and comprehensive.

[@jimmoon87]

Super clear and helpful items to check. Thanks. Ruled out the fuses, relay and still can’t get any response. I’m on to the control panel.

[@jnjgarage7771]

Very helpful and easy explaining thnx a lot I’m currently digging threw this step by step be4 I buy a new compressor

[@koolaidkitten]

Thanks hella lot for that 20amp fuse info

Thank you! My old accord is blowing cold air.

You’re the man! Thanks

Thank you, you helped me.

[@cabralessarmiento5270]

My accord 98 sometimes works sometimes not. ac. I think it is a electric problem when is working every thing works fine

[@bogusjane6194]

Both my fans don’t spin when AC is on, and the AC blows hot air on cold setting. I already tried switching the fuses any other tips?

[@davidcampos4398]

I have a cuestion my compresor only works for 1 mins and off but all time the air is hot any recommendations?

[@pierrez.6007]

So... my condenser fan yellow 20a fuse was in fact shot. I replaced it. And checked that all relays are working properly. So now all the fuses are good to go but still no ac? Also... the compressor was replaced but never turned over because of the bad fuse.

[@keving5240]

Will this video still help trouble shooting a 98’ Honda Accord

[@xdfmusika6382]

When i turn the blower the ac turns on as well, even if i turn off the ac nothing happens my ac compressor is still working any idea?

[@maine-6583]

Bro, thank you👍❤️ I’m found one fuse for 20, he's burned)

[@jeffreychestnut6943]

What will cause the AC clutch to stay engaged all the time

[@tricolor112010]

I noticed the cooling fan on the condenser side is not working does this matter when it comes to cooling? How do I tested to see if is working properly? Thanks good video

[@MatthewMorris-yi6wt]

My clutch works by jumping the relay and my relay is good what else could cause it not to in gauge

[@eugenestump111]

Does both fabs have to work for your ac to properly work ?

[@marcosa.e9790]

With me when I turn on my car it’s a 50/50 chance it will turn on and sometimes it doesn’t and when it doesn’t turn on right away it usually takes a couple minutes for it to turn on and sometimes when it is on it stops working then turns on again (but air is coming out but it not cold or hot air)

[@dillonbragatto4705]

Question is. When that ac relay connector on the compressor is bad. How can we fix it ?

[@brayencastillo4570]

Both fans on my accord are on and when I turn on the ax the compressor turns on as well but it’s still not cold. It blows air but it’s only about room temperature or a little higher.

[@ScreenPrintR]

You either have low Freon or your cooling fan isn’t working. My accord cools a little until I start driving. Then it cools down. Guessing the wiring need to be checked.

[@trentgaddy8229]

I have this exact problem right now. Did you figure out a solution?

[@ScreenPrintR]

@@trentgaddy8229 No, I’ve been a little busy.

[@youngsq5502]

@@ScreenPrintR have this problem at the moment did you ever find out what was wrong ?

[@ScreenPrintR]

@@youngsq5502 No, I need to troubleshoot the issue. Need to follow the path from the fuse to the compressor. I suspect it's the connector, connecting the fan to the compressor.

[@rahdiggadeeguyfisher54]

Thank you i removed the fuse from under the hood and my A/C came right on

[@rontribble414]

When I press the button for the circulation for the AC along with the AC button, my AC cuts off within minutes, but when I hit the button for the arrow going out side of the car to bring in fresh air, the air condition works. I change the radiator. I change the cooling fans. I change the temperature sensor and the thermostat and I’m still having this issue. I will check the fuse next do you think that could be what it is , also, I fell with Freon and for some reason the coolant backs up into the reservoir and I don’t know why, so that’s one reason why I replace the radiator because I had a leak but I’m still getting the same problem with the air condition. Please help I appreciate the video you made

[@aimereyes6302]

Hey i did all this and still not working the ac button any help plz?

[@leonardlopez3444]

Excelent

[@timjr500]

2002 honda accord. All fuses good. All relays good. No power to compressor or condensor fan. I can jump compressor with a probe at relay. Compressor engages but fan does not. I have 4.5 volts from my 2 wire AC pressure switch and one side dead. If I ground the hot wire then both engages. Any ideas?

[@jasonmejia5505]

Got to fix your issue? I have same problem

[@hurricane123ist]

2002 v6 ex coupe.. AC only works on max speed. i’ve replaced blower motor and blower motor resister..

[@alaneiserman5332]

very good vibeo thanx

[@grimgodley5481]

Thanks for the info, you helped me locate and troubleshoot my relay. I'm having kind of a strange issue with my 2001 Accord coupe 2.3, while installing a car stereo years ago I dropped a mini flashlight down my center air vent. After failing to fish it out and no effect on ac performance or under dash noise i kind of forgot about it. Recently I had my system serviced (vacuumed down and recharged to proper level) and everything worked fine, ac blows cold, but after driving for about 5 miles there was a pop or click sound from inside the cabin and the heat begins to pour through the vents. If this is a blend door issue could it be caused but a rogue flashlight rolling around somewhere in my system? Or is the pop/click sound before the ac goes hot something directly related to the blend door? Thanks in advance for any advise.

[@thuthoi2]

Check the blowing direction of the cooling fan. it should be blowing into the car. if the fan is blowing in opposite direction, alter the wiring of the fan. Also, check the connection from the relay to the compressor. That would fix your problem

[@lissettelopez8331]

yup sounds like the light is blocking the blend door actuator from working. the splines on the motor that plug into the gear is likely popping.

[@ecliqxse9591]

Great video , i have a problem with the climate control , its blinking only and ac doesn't turn on , its blows air only

[@youngtotem]

Same here. My climate control now turns off 80% of my drive time or more. It comes on intermittently. Air will continue to blow but when the light turn off I can't change the mode, the buttons don't respond. When the lights turn back on and the climate control is on, everything works. But when it's on and I change the air flow mode sometimes it makes everything turn off again. I'm hoping it's a fuse issue, I think it may be my relay, but il check that compressor connection

MI AIRE ACONDICIONADO AVIENTA PURO AIRE Y YA LE ECHE GAS SERÁ EL FUSIBLE

[@spaceindian3769]

@@youngtotem hey buddy did you ever get your problem solved I am having the same issue

[@youngtotem]

@@spaceindian3769 no unfortuantley not. I did replace the large relay under the hood, shown in the video. I think its the either the AC connection cord that he highlights in the end of the video. or maybe its the switch under the dash to the right of the gas pedal. There is a switch that controls the air settings. I havent bothered to fix it yet. Please let me know if you find a soloution.

[@spaceindian3769]

@@youngtotem thanks for taking the time to reply I'm going to do a little more research and I will gladly let you know

[@Sayfalbender3013]

Great job. I followed your steps and found out that the compressor is working (both parts) as you mentioned @ 3:30 Of the video... still no cold air. Please advise me if I need to replace the whole compressor w/clutch or what? Thanks

[@joshlucas5907]

I have no power to my 7.5 fuse in the drivers side fuse panel. Where does that fuse get its power from? Do you have a schematic for it?

[@cxf5512]

Brooooo I’m having the SAME issue! Did you ever figure it out????

[@joshlucas5907]

yes i did! so the plug on the back of the fuse panel was broken and loose. I plugged it in tight and ziptied it tight so it wouldnt come off....never had a problem since then, good luck@@cxf5512

[@karimickey]

This shit just saved me so much time my fuse was blown under the hood I was bout to be changing fans and everything 😂

[@alexsaenz1025]

If it does not have freeon will the compressor not run

[@Edwarddiaz21]

Nope

[@JuanCastillo-ew1bn]

Puse compresor nuevo pero al poner el aire dise que esta llleno

[@shannoncrow5358]

So I have changed the horn fuse with the AC relay and nothing works. I put the pliers in the AC relay and it worked what do I do?

[@shannoncrow5358]

My husband is working on it so let me know please and thank you

[@LehewTech]

It's likely to be an issue with the clockspring or the horn button itself

[@robf504]

Saved me a lot of money in relays turned out I had to much pressure and had to release some to get it going again

[@jaydee816]

How do u release some pressure

[@robf504]

@@jaydee816 did it old school just pushed the valve stem with a screw driver on the low pressure side

[@johngranda6782]

Awesome job thanks

[@felipemoreira436]

Awesome video! My Accord blows air and all but the ac dashboard lights won’t turn on, therefore I can’t choose between “ac” or the vents for the air to come out of… nightmare to drive in the Utah summer 😂

[@ryanbeseth9814]

Yea same here, did you ever figure this out

[@felipemoreira436]

@@ryanbeseth9814 I tried a different dashboard, bought another (used) on eBay, installed it but the very same issue was still there… I sorta abandoned the project since then… luckily we have a family van we drive around with good ac, otherwise I would probably take it to a Honda dealer to fix it. Good luck!

[@elizabethgrant6357]

Please DO Not do this video I did it the right way like he saws us on here I did it yesterday morning and now my car is messed up and my heater core in my car a 2002 Honda accord v6 is messed up and now its 200 dollars for the part and 500 to 1000 dollars just for the labor for someone to fix my car and it's hard asf to find someone to fix it

[@LehewTech]

Nothing I did in this video would mess up your heater core.. it's likely that it was already messed up. Good luck with your repair.
