After a long winter, my a/c of the same model car in the video stopped cooling when we had a 2 day heat wave. I first suspected coolant leak or loss coolant, but the dial readings look ok as it held pressure. Then, it might be more serious when I needed to review anything that moved. So it was either the two things mentioned, the clutch or something serious. Thankfully this video saved me grief and it was just the two things in the electrical box to replace. So the lesson for me is to learn to rule out problems better systematically. This guy made my day and we are having a much more pleasant mother's day. Now I have some extra coolant and leak sealer for next time.

@@RBTheMechanic I want to do a video of a quirky Dodge Caravan Evap leak also, but my father already took out the solenoid and fixed it before I had a chance to film anything. The check engine code was misleading. I ended up replacing the solenoid even though a ton of videos suggest the metering pump was at fault. I took a wild guess since that was the only other moving part because we had no fume leaks. The engineers don't make it easy and some repairs would've given mechanics a bad rep because it's just so difficult to diagnose.

I figured if it was a leak it would change temperature slowly and this was just like night and day cold air was gone.

Went to a mechanic today. "Reputable" repair shop, 7 years in business. The mechanic recharged my AC system, looked, and said: "eeeeh, the AC compressor internally failed, so because it internally failed, you need a whole system replacement, with labor $1990". My car is 2006 year made and a salvage title with lots of cosmetic issues. The answer was this little $10 relay, got it tested with a 9V battery and a multimeter. Appeared faulty. Almost 200 times difference in price on what they quoted and what I paid to fix the actual issue. This mechanic guy will be receiving a _killer_ review in the upcoming days.

Hello, there sir. I know there are quite a few reasons why my 2006 Honda Civic Coupe's AC doesn't work. However, I still remember a clue on the day the AC on my car stopped working. There was a "deflating tire sound" coming from the front part of the car. I'm guessing that something ruptured in some part of the engine. The car drives perfectly though it lacks AC. Hope I can get some helpful input.

The noise could be the clutch is burned out on ac compressor but how ever start with check ac pressure a sign that u got pressure win the system is if u put ac on and both radiator fans come on that’s indication that system got pressure and works now u need to check fuse relay and power to ac compressor if the compressor dosent come on

I have a 2013 honda civic and there is no gas in my car i checked it low and high one but also no current passing on that cable so should i put gas first and see if ac working or does my car have any wiring issues? Please reply to me thank you so much
@RBTheMechanic5 ай бұрын
First u have to do ac service and use due to trace for leaks of it got no gas that means it leaked so and see if it activate after that other wise need more diagnostic

I have a Honda Civic ex 2017. Last night my AC was working fine. Today I start the car and there's no air blowing at all. Not even if I put the heat on or cool. I opened the hood and I noticed the fan behind the condenser is not moving at all. Could this be a relay problem as well?

In my Honda civic 2012, AC works but when I push "Max AC" button...it does not kick in. As a result...it takes lot longer to cool inside. What is the possible solution? Thanks.
@RBTheMechanic Жыл бұрын
It might not be an issue. When u put max ac the fan blows super flash but ac systym dosent get cool that quick and it takes longer but it could be low on freon

Hey man, super weird question. In the canadian winter (0c or less) if I turn on heat, my HVAC turns OFF and my blower is set to MAX until my car heats up, then I can change my temps and blower to whatever I want. On the flip side, my freon is filled, relay and fuse are fine, but my compressor will NOT turn on. It is not locked up or anything. Could this be my thermostat?

Hey bro, I have same civic. One day my AC stopped working. I opened the hood and both fans are NOT working either. I tried swapping out fuses and relays and still nothing. Both fans only come on to keep the engine from over heating. I tried replacing the climate controls with another unit. Tried replacing the thermal protector sensor on the compressor. Nothing works. As of right now the compressor does NOT engage and both fans are NOT spinning when i click the AC button.

I’ve got a 2007 civic and the fans kick on when turning ac on but only got the compressor to kick on a couple times thinking it was low on Freon. Had that serviced and still not getting it to kick on. If it’s worked a couple times for short amounts of times could the relay be going bad? or is it either good or bad and no in between?

It could be a bad relay I just did a car accord 2015 compressor kicked on for 1 seconds only and then if u turn off and wait few minutes turn it back on it kicked for a second anyways relay was the issue worth the try
