Honda Accord AC Stopped Working - 15 Second Fix - Try This First

[@PracticalMechanic]

Honda Accord/Civic AC Relay (G8HL-H71): amzn.to/3U3LAA6 This is the AC relay. I hope this video was helpful!

This saved me so much headache, it was midnight when I came across this video and I grabbed my flashlight and keys to check this out. Turns out the relay WASN'T PLUGED IN! It was just sitting loose in it's spot I pushed it in all the way and my AC started functioning normally, truly a massive help! I've been boiling in my car for the past month!

[@PracticalMechanic]

What a relief, that's awesome!

[@abekurth4074]

I tried it and it seemed a bit better, but I wasn't sure, so I bought the part for $11 and put it in and IT'S FINALLY COLD. THANK YOU!!!!

[@PracticalMechanic]

Excellent, glad to hear it! 👍

Maaaaan I hope this is all it is. My wife just called, got in her 2015 accord to leave work and said the ac isn't blowing at all. This will be the first thing I check when she gets home. Thanks!

[@PracticalMechanic]

I hope that's it, happy wife happy life!

[@joespercussion]

Incredibly helpful, I was able to fix my suddenly broken AC within the day. Thank you!

[@PracticalMechanic]

Excellent, glad to hear it. Makes it worth it for me to upload these videos to hear feedback like yours! 🤣

Always love a good GI Joe reference form the 90's.

[@PracticalMechanic]

Yes! Mission accomplished, someone knows the reference! (Makes you feel good) 🤣

[@kennycoyle-iy2ly]

I did exactly what you said. I got ice cold air. Thank you

[@PracticalMechanic]

Excellent! Glad it worked out! 👍

[@jamiet870]

Thank you this is really helpful, I’ll give this a try to troubleshoot mine :)

[@PracticalMechanic]

Great, good luck, hope it works out! 👍

[@fineartlifestyling]

[@PracticalMechanic]

You're welcome! Glad it helped! 👍

[@IT_Farhan]

Thanks so much for this fix, I was ready to buy a new compressor entirely!

[@PracticalMechanic]

Glad I could help!

Saved me 200 bucks!!

[@PracticalMechanic]

This makes me so happy

My 2007 Honda Accord AC just stopped blowing anything. Not even the vent. Absolutely not blowing anything. Could it be something more than a fuse? Thanks for sharing! Look forward to hearing from you soon!

[@martingomez6108]

Bad blower motor more than likely. It's under the passengers side dash. You can usually hit it with your hand and it will turn on or make noises if that's the problem.

[@Islamy1]

Sir, I replaced the clutch relay, and then the cooling worked good. After 10 minutes, the clutch fuse burned. I replaced the clutch fuse but burned again ? What do you think . I saw the fuse very red then burned !!

[@PracticalMechanic]

Check the wiring to the AC compressor for breaks/shorts. Make sure the connection is nice and tight and not dirty. If those are fine, the compressor may be drawing too much current. May need to replace the compressor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHTGZqCDgJh8ftE Good luck, hope it helps 👍

[@fivenightsatfreddursts2325]

Does anyone know if these fuse or relays going out results in the defroster and other controls also not responding on the a/c panel? I’ve got air coming in but no other controls work or light up

[@teodornikolov5449]

Is your car is diesel or gasoline, because yesterday when i put the aftermarket HU i have some problems wirh the AC i think i have a freon leaking and i dont know where i messed up with the installation

[@PracticalMechanic]

My Honda Accord is gasoline. Hope this helps, and hope you get it sorted out

[@mvmmoth]

What Honda accord is diesel ? Lmfao

[@Goodoldays9]

Awesome!!!

[@PracticalMechanic]

Thanks! 👍

[@henryung2980]

sometimes my AC works but sometimes it doesnt. would that be a bad relay? or would a bad relay cause it to stop working entirely?

[@PracticalMechanic]

Could be the relay. Intermittent operation is a common failure mode of a bad relay.

[@henryung2980]

@@PracticalMechanic oddly enough, it was the relay. swapped it out with the horn and it works fine now.

[@PracticalMechanic]

Nice, glad you got it sorted out

[@TV-fw5bc]

I got a new relay switch and it worked for a couple days. Now again, no cold air when AC is on. Should I check the fuse or is there a bigger issue here. Thanks for any info!

[@PracticalMechanic]

Yeah, would be good to check the fuse. I also wonder if it was just a bad relay?

[@TV-fw5bc]

Thanks
