The kindness of a strangers. Why can't everyone get along and help each other. Sir your area very kind. Especially to take time to personally answer individual questions. 😂 you helped me show my husband up. He told us a air compressor on my daughter's car. He swore this was a waste of money and you were sending us (daughter and me) on a goose chase. Bam showed him who was goin on a chase. He apologizes and says will never doubt me again
I been out without A/C for almost a year, went to a mechanic got quoted for 1,100 because (compressor was bad) i go on youtube and see your video amd did what exactly what you did and now my A/C is working 100%! Thank you brother you saved me 1,100 and only spent $9
I fixed my a/c doing exactly as he said. 2008 Honda Civic. Changed the fuse and took the Relay out and took it to Autozone for new part. It was a $16 part. As soon as I pulled away I had air again. I am a girl. I have no mechanical skill but this was super easy. Thank you so so so much for making this video. Someone would have charged me a lot for such a easy fix. $16 dollars. Woo hooo!
YES!! You just made my day. It's like 90 degrees out + I couldn't take no a/c anymore. So I was about to take it in to a shop to get fixed when I saw your video. Blammo! The a/c condenser fuse was dead. After a quick replacement -- it WORKS! Thanks so much. From yet another girl who doesn't mind getting my hands dirty now + then.
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.
@@jasonmuniz3539 if you have the old one take with you to an auto store and ask them if they have the same one or if can order it for you. Also check your a/c charge. I had to charge mine so it might have not even been the fuse
Thank you!! i'm a grown woman and this helped out sooo much! i tried what you showed here and nothing, but then i remembered i had taken cabin filter and air filter out to clean them a week or so ago and i must have touched the blower wheel and prevented it from moving?? but i also pulled the fuse and the relay fuse and re-inserted them and this morning began with the vents and they are now blowing air out and the air is coold!!! so a combination of my efforts yesterday and watching videos last evening gave me an incentive to retry today and it worked right away!

@@RBTheMechanic well.... tried it again later in the afternoon....and warm/cool air; i did purchase a new relay fuse this evening, but didn't change anything. a friend wrote me that he thinks it just might need a recharge. that's a fresh bit of Freon, correct? i hope that's all. will let you know come next Wed evening, as my appt for an oil change and them to check the ac system is on Wed the 7th of Sept.

Saw your video and literally replaced fuse (not it) and then went to O’reillys, 10 bucks later popped that AC compressor relay in and voila! AC kicked on! Thanks man, def helped save some big money and kept it straight forward. Appreciate it!

My 2011 Civic a/c just started blowing hot air all of a sudden. Took it to Goodyear to get it checked out. They told me the compressor was bad and needed to be replaced. They quoted me a price of $1,750 to fix it. I told them HELL NO! I'm going to replace the relay tomorrow and see if that works. Thx for your video.
I appreciate you putting out this video. Yesterday I went out on my jet ski on the lake and my 2007 Honda Civic had ice Cold Air coming back from the lake until it just went hot. I was thinking it had to be something like this but not until your video did I know where to look. I figured if it was a leak it would change temperature slowly and this was just like night and day cold air was gone. Make a long story short my relay was a little bit more expensive at $14.99 but it took care of what would have been I'm sure an expensive problem. Thank you I know you saved me a lot of money not sure exactly how much because I didn't take it anywhere. I had no idea how to take the relay out so your video was very informative with that as well
You helped me out so much man! Cant thank you enough. My AC would blow cold but it would take 15 minutes for it to kick in. It was so weird. I even changed the fans, everything. Cost me a crap ton. This was all I needed! Much love from TX!
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
@@RBTheMechanic I just paid Honda Dealer $800. to diagnosis & fix 2006 civic same issue cold air fan for a while then warm air fanning in no AC air. They claimed to fix it & now it’s worse! Today Sat. 85 degrees outside 95 tomorrow Closed till Mon.🥵First time at a dealership why did I do it???🤬
@@RBTheMechanic I don’t think so? Just new Condenser (Leaking) & Labor=$800. I will find out Monday Morning! They probably didn’t even check the coolant? Fans or at least one fan works? Always did. It was the cool air that would stop after a while. Like a few people here said it seemed on the highway fine then slowing down it would blow out regular air/not cool.
Hola Love your video and thanks but my ac just stopped out of nowhere and I replaced the relays and fuses, fans or compressor did not kick on until I added a can of freon but the air was still not cold. I turned the honda off did a self diagnostic test got no flashes but when I turned car on the fans and compressor stopped any ideas of what to do next?
Great video, I have a 2010 Honda civc ex-l sedan. Every one of your to do's seems to be working fine. Air conditioner will blow sometimes cool, for a couple minutes, then just starts blowing hot air! Checked the low end value with a cheap gauge and says freon level is in the green. Any ideas? Thanks Drew
Well swap out the relay just for the heck of it … it could be fault intermittently other wise don’t be fooled by the pressure reading it can be hot air pressure if the relay don’t work then do ac service using ac machine recover vaccum and then recharge with correct amount oil and r134
@Drew B did you follow @RB The Mechanic’s advice. My 2010 civic is having the same issues with the A/C. It blows cool for a while then it gets hot. In Texas heat driving around like that is brutal.
Tell people to get a long screwdriver and spin or push the clutch around and with God's help it worked for me. I tried what you said and it did not work for me but the pushing on the clutch that might have been tucked worked.
I have the same issue but before it stopped working, the ac was running non stop and the ac line had ice built up all over it. Not sure if that’s a clog some where or the relay.
Ok that’s somthing else not relay try reserving the systym I had issue like that where compressor ram all times wait yes it could be stuck relay anways start from swaping relay
Mechanic said he put gauges on my Compressor, and the low was a vacuum, and the high was 80 (not 200). He has flushed the system, "blown out the lines", and installed new compressor, condensor, and some switch. Fuse is fine he says (because compressor works). He didn't say anything about the relay. What do you think is going on?
Yup thank you!! This video was worth it helped lot of people ladies girl woman’s single mom all messed me how this worked for them!! And they had no ac for years
Im having similar issue. 06 civic si. Ac blows hot. I put a new ac compressor. The correct one too.. cant remember if the oil was correct. I didnt dump n refill.. but before it worked with old one until the pulley froze and broke the belt.. so i swapped fog light and this relay. Nothing. I grounded the relay, the clutch turned on. But didnt vlow cold. Filled the line, kept saying it went to high in how much i added.. im at a loss. And i work on cars for a living.. also i did do a evaporator valve on hester core. Idk whay i did wrong.. n it worries me lol
Going to try this today your channel and Cliffs How to channel have given me the best advice on my Honda A/C will post update after I leave AutoZone UPDATE: Bought the part It did not work for me I'm wondering is it the resister and if so how can I check for that?
Not even gonna lie, I thought this video wasn’t gonna work, tried it and what do you know, it worked. You just saved me money, I appreciate you my g 👌🏼. Now I can get that tattoo I wanted
Alright.. single mom here trying to avoid major bills! I've been driving around with no AC for a year but it's SC and my kids are over it. I changed the fuse and the relay without an issue. No AC. I used to get warm air but now I'm barely getting any air. Next step?
What car you have year make and model? And please explain me u said no ac and also said no air. Air blower mother system is separate than ac system we can check fuses both. But u must have air blowing first then we can try somthing with ac system
My ac sounds like it's working but the vents are barely blowing, but the ac seems to be working just not much force... Is it this issue or something having to do with the motor or motor belt?
I literally have an appointment for the mobile mechanic to come out on Friday, im going to try this first thing tomorrow morning and see how it goes. My AC went out a few days ago, added a can of Freon and still not cold so I figured id pay the $180 for him to come out and diagnose it, really hoping this is my issue. Based on all the other comments and replies seems like a common issue.
It worked!!!!!! Just cancelled my appointment for the auto mechanic and saved the $160 and also took the $40 Freon back to Auto zone!! Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 wish I could send you a cash app or Venmo to say thank you !! My AC turned on instantly
03 Honda Accord! I can’t wait to try this! Also, I just moved to Texas from Cali. Any recommendations on how to keep my car cool and running properly in this heat.
Excellent video. I have changed all fuses and relays. Nothing on the clutch. I jumped the the Freon sensor switch and the clutch came on for about 5 seconds only when I shut the car off and turn it back on. And that’s all I get. Any ideas
I have an 07 civic si. I watched your other video too. I’m going to try taking the washer out tomorrow to see if it does anything. I’m having a hard time find a new clutch replacement. I’m in New Hampshire this car isn’t very common here
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
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?
Well fan will only Come on if ac works other wise it will come on at correct temp so u need to check for power fuse relay ground to see if it’s getting siginal need to do some dignostic
Got the same car bro AC went i checked it with a gauge and the Low was at max pressure so i let pressure out until the green marker and still have no cold air , i can hear the compressor turn on.. im going to try the relay and fuse
I’m not sure what u mean u can hear the compressor on? But I would reservice the ac system it’s not about being in green. And yes swap the relay and check fuse
Would anyone know if this is the reason why my Honda's AC works at some times. more often it works with cold engine and after about 10 minutes of driving, it blows warm air again. Next morning I start it up and I can hear the compressor going on & off and it blows cold, and again after driving for a while it stops. Evidently I have plenty of refrigerant and my compressor also works. I checked the AC fuse and it looks ok. It might just be a rely... I have a 2014 Honda Accord.
@@RBTheMechanic I have a gauge and it shows good pressure. Called Honda dealer for relay, $57- bucks after tax. Amazom has the same part for $7- and you get two, LoL. Should be here soon and see if that is the issue. Hope it fixes it. Thanks RBT
I replaced the relay about a year ago and it never fixed it. Have just been dealing with no ac. It's getting warm again.. wonder if replacing just the fuse now would be fine..
@@RBTheMechanic what does checking ac pressure mean? I saw a video where someone could hear the ac coming on when they hit the button. I hear nothing. Plenty of warm sur coming out though haha
Hello RB and everyone, I put freon in the ac and yes my ac fan turns on, but hot air blows, should I do that rely thing or go to a shop? I can't do that testing wire thing I'm not good at the stuff, thank you for your video.
RB, thanks for fast reply I did use can of freon it says full on the gage. I guess I do have to take it in. Thanks , I will be seeing your rc videos also, I have an old lunchbox black , and a rustler truck..thanks again
@@lazesq lol oh yeah RCs I’m on brake with my rc videos will get back at it anyways. Yes when u add with can it really Isent pushing u have mixture of air pressure so it will work hot cold hot cold or might not even work
When I turn on my AC in my chevy cobalt 2007 I recharged the refrigerant when I test it its full and it shoots out when I test the pressure but I dont think the compressor is kicking on the air never gets colder its just hott air? Could this be exactly what the issue is?
If ur ac compressor comes on then it can be low on Freon or blend door motor are stuck on heat side. Try touch the low side line under hood with ac on it should be cold if it’s not cold then I would try recharging Freon
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.
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 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.
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?
Hello, my Honda civic 2012 ac clutch was stuck and wasn't engaging. I replaced with a new compressor and changed the relay as well, but the compressor is still getting only 2.2 V and the clutch isn't engaging. What should I do now ?
My ac does get cool or warm , only puts out air that's coming from the outside. I'm not sure if it's the relay, but I'll try and replace it , thanks alot bro 😊
What's is my AC issue if the ac fan doesn't automatically move when I turn on the AC? I have to take my hand to get it to start turning. Then it will turn on its own. I have a 2008 honda civic.
@@RBTheMechanic Thank you for replying to my comment. The car radiator fan, that is nearest to the driver side automatically starts spinning on its own, when I turn on the AC. However the AC compressor fan doesn't unless I use my hand to push it and make it spin, then it will continue to spin on its own.
@@The11thchapter yup when u have ac on it will over heat that’s when it’s need more cooling and ur ac might not be as old it should be since it’s not cooling also it might over heat when local high way the wind force will cool it off
@@GonzaloCorts there’s no test and fix I have to replace it it $11 for relay. And t do test on it will take so much time and test can be faulty some time it don’t do it’s job when it gets hot
Did u swap the relay? And check to see if u got ac pressure. Put on the ac and see I both radiator fans come on that’s also indication that it got pressure and systm came on but do swap he relay!!!! Worth the big try
My ac compressor kick on but not blowing cold air. I just charged the system. When yhe car is off im at about 50 psi but when i start the car the pressure goes to 0. Am i doing something wrong? Please help
Hello. I have a 2006 Honda Civic EX. Its AC comes on as soon as I turn the engine on however the AC button is on the OFF mode. What's wrong with my AC buddy? Thanks for your help.
U have to do electrical dignostic can’t tell just like this what’s the issue try pulling the fuse and relay one at a time to see which one makes a diffrence
Sometime it's not the fuse or relay, it's the AC Compressor. I changed the relay and fuse, AC still don't work on my Civic 2007, i am getting an AC compressor.
Hi I recently had my passenger mirror smashed off. It has stopped the air con and heated seats. Literally nothing turns on on the dashboard. Could this still be relay and fuse

You helped me out so much man! Cant thank you enough. My AC would blow cold but it would take 15 minutes for it to kick in. It was so weird. I even changed the fans, everything. Cost me a crap ton. This was all I needed! Much love from TX!
Oh wow but I’m glad u found my video so at end it’s fixed I always say check the basics!!! Good job!!
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
If the AC light turns on after pressing the button on the dashboard, could the issue still be related to the relay ?
I just saved myself $350 by watching your video..thanks man ..
Hell yeah goood save bro!!!! More like saved $800 most shops just will point at the ac compressor

I just paid Honda Dealer $800. to diagnosis & fix 2006 civic same issue cold air fan for a while then warm air fanning in no AC air.
They claimed to fix it & now it’s worse! Today Sat. 85 degrees outside 95 tomorrow Closed till Mon.🥵First time at a dealership why did I do it???🤬

@@RBTheMechanic
I don’t think so? Just new Condenser (Leaking) & Labor=$800. I will find out Monday Morning! They probably didn’t even check the coolant? Fans or at least one fan works? Always did. It was the cool air that would stop after a while. Like a few people here said it seemed on the highway fine then slowing down it would blow out regular air/not cool.
@@stephanieb6578 yeah let them check it and u can take it a look urself

I am not very mechanically minded unfortunately, but thanks to this video I could fix the aircon all by myself for under $15. Thank you so much.
Good job!!!
I also hear that a bad ac relay or a bad MG clutch fuse can have vampiric power drain on your Civic when the car is off.
Yes
Hola Love your video and thanks but my ac just stopped out of nowhere and I replaced the relays and fuses, fans or compressor did not kick on until I added a can of freon but the air was still not cold. I turned the honda off did a self diagnostic test got no flashes but when I turned car on the fans and compressor stopped any ideas of what to do next?
U might have to do full ac service with ac machine and then try to see how it reacts
Great video, I have a 2010 Honda civc ex-l sedan. Every one of your to do's seems to be working fine. Air conditioner will blow sometimes cool, for a couple minutes, then just starts blowing hot air! Checked the low end value with a cheap gauge and says freon level is in the green. Any ideas? Thanks Drew
Well swap out the relay just for the heck of it … it could be fault intermittently other wise don’t be fooled by the pressure reading it can be hot air pressure if the relay don’t work then do ac service using ac machine recover vaccum and then recharge with correct amount oil and r134
@Drew B did you follow @RB The Mechanic’s advice. My 2010 civic is having the same issues with the A/C. It blows cool for a while then it gets hot. In Texas heat driving around like that is brutal.
Watch this video. A little more troubleshooting involved and it might help you @Drew B

I know you making mechanics mad😂 but gonna check the fuses brother, short to the point video. Good shit
Not mad they actually have it easy now and know why they messed up and should had checked this first
I will try this tomorrow. I hope it fixes my issue. Thanks for your information
Thank u!! Yup. Update me how it went
Tell people to get a long screwdriver and spin or push the clutch around and with God's help it worked for me. I tried what you said and it did not work for me but the pushing on the clutch that might have been tucked worked.
Lol ok
I'm going to try that on my 2010 Civic in a few weeks.. Thank You..
Good luck!
I have the same issue but before it stopped working, the ac was running non stop and the ac line had ice built up all over it. Not sure if that’s a clog some where or the relay.
Ok that’s somthing else not relay try reserving the systym I had issue like that where compressor ram all times wait yes it could be stuck relay anways start from swaping relay
Thanks you sir just changed it and it works like a charm ur the goat
No problem 👍
I'm going to checkout the relays and fuses in the morning before I try freon recharge. System blows but it's not cold.
Yeah check relay and fuse first
Why is my 2003 Honda civic running hot)?
@@lauriedavis3333 ac blowing hot ? Or engine over heats?
Can it be a relay issue if the AC light on the dash comes on, but it is not blowing cold air ?
Mechanic said he put gauges on my Compressor, and the low was a vacuum, and the high was 80 (not 200). He has flushed the system, "blown out the lines", and installed new compressor, condensor, and some switch. Fuse is fine he says (because compressor works). He didn't say anything about the relay. What do you think is going on?
I would check fuse and relay swap before anything not sure about that vaccum reading
Great video RB, you covered most all possibilities, Thanks, keep up the good work.
Yup thank you!! This video was worth it helped lot of people ladies girl woman’s single mom all messed me how this worked for them!! And they had no ac for years
Thanks brother. This worked for me. I don't have to ride around sweating any more
Nice job!! Easy fix
Also don’t forget about air blower fan They tend to go out
Yup
Question, why was the “MG clutch” fuse taken out as well? Do we need to replace that one if we’re replacing the relay
U don’t need to take it out u can just check the fuse it could be blown fuse but these both parts I always change fuse I do check it’s the basic parts
“When installing fuses, be sure not to use your left but your alright hand.”
Ok lol
Im having similar issue. 06 civic si. Ac blows hot. I put a new ac compressor. The correct one too.. cant remember if the oil was correct. I didnt dump n refill.. but before it worked with old one until the pulley froze and broke the belt.. so i swapped fog light and this relay. Nothing. I grounded the relay, the clutch turned on. But didnt vlow cold. Filled the line, kept saying it went to high in how much i added.. im at a loss. And i work on cars for a living.. also i did do a evaporator valve on hester core. Idk whay i did wrong.. n it worries me lol
Did u use ac machine to service when recharging? And dose the compressor come on
Going to try this today your channel and Cliffs How to channel have given me the best advice on my Honda A/C will post update after I leave AutoZone UPDATE: Bought the part It did not work for me I'm wondering is it the resister and if so how can I check for that?

Alright.. single mom here trying to avoid major bills!
I've been driving around with no AC for a year but it's SC and my kids are over it.
I changed the fuse and the relay without an issue. No AC. I used to get warm air but now I'm barely getting any air. Next step?
What car you have year make and model? And please explain me u said no ac and also said no air. Air blower mother system is separate than ac system we can check fuses both. But u must have air blowing first then we can try somthing with ac system

Welcome!!!
I literally have an appointment for the mobile mechanic to come out on Friday, im going to try this first thing tomorrow morning and see how it goes. My AC went out a few days ago, added a can of Freon and still not cold so I figured id pay the $180 for him to come out and diagnose it, really hoping this is my issue. Based on all the other comments and replies seems like a common issue.
Yeah it’s easy try it urself
It worked!!!!!! Just cancelled my appointment for the auto mechanic and saved the $160 and also took the $40 Freon back to Auto zone!! Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 wish I could send you a cash app or Venmo to say thank you !! My AC turned on instantly

Welcome to Texas..
Hello, what should I do if the air conditioning fan works but the radiator fan does?
Check fuse and relay if both r good then it could be bad fan u need to check power and ground on connector of fan to confirm fan is bad
What if the relay is good? It seems to be clicking on and off anyway.
The clutch is engaging but no cool air.
Check to see if low side line gets cold? Update me?
Just got A/C again!!! Thanks Brotha! 👊🏾🙏🏾
Nice job!!! Glad this resolved you ac issue!!!
Hello, my 2010 Civic sedan ex is blowing cool but not cold. It has only 46000 miles. The fans work.... Could you point me in the right direction?
Ok yeah check ur Freon pressure I would jus reservice the system since machine is going on to check that but yes I would think about reservice
@@RBTheMechanic cool, would you recommend doing it myself?
Do you have to pull out fuse to install new relay? Other videos I have seen did not include this step. Thank you.
No engine off and key out that’s it and swap the relay
Will condenser still spin if relay is bad or does that just mean that AC needs a recharge?@@RBTheMechanic
what about if the air is blowing warm?, honda civic 2009 , thank you
Dose the ac compressor engages? If yes … ur systym might be low on refrigeration and do ac service use dye to trace down any leaks
@@RBTheMechanic ok thank you, I 'll check
Excellent video. I have changed all fuses and relays. Nothing on the clutch. I jumped the the Freon sensor switch and the clutch came on for about 5 seconds only when I shut the car off and turn it back on. And that’s all I get. Any ideas
I have an 07 civic si. I watched your other video too. I’m going to try taking the washer out tomorrow to see if it does anything. I’m having a hard time find a new clutch replacement. I’m in New Hampshire this car isn’t very common here
When the clutch came on did the low ac line get cold? Did u check Freon pressure
@@RBTheMechanic it was. Only on for about 5 seconds. I put the gauge on it and it reads full. This whole setup has me scratching my head.
@@rubenreyes7901 5 seconds should show if it got cold or not

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?
How if compressor won't turn and fan not working as well what could be the problem?
Well fan will only
Come on if ac works other wise it will come on at correct temp so u need to check for power fuse relay ground to see if it’s getting siginal need to do some dignostic
Hey - dumb question … which fuse are you replacing along with the AC Relay ???
Thank You
Ac clutch fuse
Got the same car bro AC went i checked it with a gauge and the Low was at max pressure so i let pressure out until the green marker and still have no cold air , i can hear the compressor turn on.. im going to try the relay and fuse
I’m not sure what u mean u can hear the compressor on? But I would reservice the ac system it’s not about being in green. And yes swap the relay and check fuse
@@RBTheMechanicreserving do what to it?
The ac compressor relay is also the fog light relay? If so, would a broken fog light interrupt signal to the ac compressor?
No same as fog light relay meaning u can buy fog light relays they are same part numbers
Ok. Thank you
I have a 2010 honda civic and the ac is working but it only blows warm air. Should i buy the relay?
Yes try the ac relay swap trick or replace it. Also check the fuse for ac compressor
I did the ac relay swap and put more freon it worked thank you!
@@Lowkeyy888 nice job!!! Why u had to add more? Wasent cold enough? I would have it reserviced with ac machine too much can damage the system
I have a 2008 civic lx. Blowing warm air. I've had it vacuumed and had freon added. What could be the problem? Thank you
Check this relay most common issue also check the fuse
Would anyone know if this is the reason why my Honda's AC works at some times. more often it works with cold engine and after about 10 minutes of driving, it blows warm air again. Next morning I start it up and I can hear the compressor going on & off and it blows cold, and again after driving for a while it stops. Evidently I have plenty of refrigerant and my compressor also works. I checked the AC fuse and it looks ok. It might just be a rely... I have a 2014 Honda Accord.
Did u check pressure? Do swap out relay some time it can cut off as it get hot
@@RBTheMechanic I have a gauge and it shows good pressure. Called Honda dealer for relay, $57- bucks after tax. Amazom has the same part for $7- and you get two, LoL. Should be here soon and see if that is the issue. Hope it fixes it. Thanks RBT
I have to try this got a 2008 Honda civic and haven’t had AC in two year I was just about to buy a compressor and change it but got to try this
Yup try it
dude it worked!!!!! thank you very much for the video.
Nice job!!!! Easy fix and very common issue
I replaced the relay about a year ago and it never fixed it. Have just been dealing with no ac. It's getting warm again.. wonder if replacing just the fuse now would be fine..
Check ac pressure yes check the fuse also but if there no pressure nothing will work

How sis u out the Freon did u use the cans? That’s always bad idea if u did that best is t take it to ship let them do it propperly with ac machine

@@lazesq lol oh yeah RCs I’m on brake with my rc videos will get back at it anyways. Yes when u add with can it really Isent pushing u have mixture of air pressure so it will work hot cold hot cold or might not even work
Thank you! You explain perfectly!!!
When I turn on my AC in my chevy cobalt 2007 I recharged the refrigerant when I test it its full and it shoots out when I test the pressure but I dont think the compressor is kicking on the air never gets colder its just hott air? Could this be exactly what the issue is?
If ur ac compressor comes on then it can be low on Freon or blend door motor are stuck on heat side. Try touch the low side line under hood with ac on it should be cold if it’s not cold then I would try recharging Freon
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.
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 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.
Ok… to check to see if u have Freon pressure? Also put on scan tool to see if there’s any codes for HVAC system
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?
