A/ c Help
I have a 92 accord LX sedan Automatic that is having a c issues that I can not figure out.
What it is doing: Compressor clutch is kicking on What I have checked All fuses freon level fans I was told that it might be a cpu (?) problem but I have no idea how to check that. Love the car, but I replaced the compressor last year( used) and I do not want to do that again. Right before it went out I remember that it would kick on and made the car feel likeit was going to die. Please help |
Next step would be to check if the compressor clutch is engaging properly.
Start the car without the a/c on. The clutch plate in front of the compressor pulley should not spin. Turn the A/C on. The plate should engage with the pulley and spin at the same rate. Also both fans should come on. Let us know what you find. |
Last night I checked that I think. I would start the car and wait a few minutes before turning on the A c, I never saw the clutch plate turn on. (The clutch plate is the thing that spins for about 8 to 10 secounds then turns off. Sorry I am new to working on cars. Do not know the right names for stuff yet just what they look like) The fans don't come on when the a c is on, but they work when the temp is up on the car

The clutch plate is between 5 and 9 on the diagram.
Both fans need to come on for the a/c to work properly. I would suggest that you download the 91 shop manual from the Online Manuals thread in the DIY section. Chapter 15 has the a/c information in it. |
ok the clutch plate is not turning at all I can move it by hand but does not move at all when the car or a c is running. No noise or anything like that
|
There should be one wire going to the a/c compressor.
It should have 12V (to ground) when you turn the a/c on. Let us know what you find. |
