Can Not engage Climate Control Buttons
I have a 2000 Accord (2.3) EX. Today I tried to engage the air conditioner and could not activate it. I tried engaging some of the other buttons and they would not work either. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?
|
It could be a blown fuse, the wiring, or the unit with the buttons.
What other buttons are not working? Does the clock work? Definitely check fuses first. |
First thing I did was check the fuse. That was not it. The fan and clock work.
|
Can you pull the unit and test for voltage. We can help with which wires and that to test.
|
And there are two fuses for the unit. One is the drivers under dash and another in the pass under dash.
|
This unit has a mind of its own. Out of the clear blue, the buttons starting working again (after the car sat for a few days). If it happens again, I guess I will remove the entire unit and have it replaced.
|
These units do have an issue. Some have had to add a "jumper" wire.
Does yours have the "auto" feature on it? https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/for...g-50944/page3/ |
No it does not. Any idea how much to replace the climate control unit.
|
On e-bay, car-part dot com or a few other sites you might find new/used/rebuilt units. In the link I provided there is a write up on a "fix" that many have done on their own.
If your skills are such that you do not want to repair, and that is by no means disrespect - we all come with different skill sets. After proper testing and being sure the unit is failing, I'd purchase a new/used/rebuilt unit and either install yourself or take the unit to a shop and have them install it. |
thanks for all your input. I am a DIYer and this is my "beater car," so I am inclined to do the repair/replacement myself. These forums have saved me a ton of money.
