Have just posted a note on the other air con problem thread that relates to testing diesel air con pressure switch, and resistance readings when switch is bad and what are they when new? Answer is "the same" I now have a dismenbered bad one, a bad one and a new one from honda fitted, regassed...

I started this thread some time ago, and there is a similar thread with lots of good info elswhere on here But just to finish off....My a/c packed up again some months ago, and went I through all the head scatching, testing the clutch, fans, regas and nothing worked Still no real data on what...

I've got a cracked manifold from my 2.2 in my garage, your welcome to it if you want to try a repair........the proper job is not cheap

Hi all, have failed side light bulbs, and a knock on the wing has fixed one but the O/S is still not working I can see where the bulbs/connections are but no way can I get hand to them Is it wheels off, spashguard off to get at them from under the arches? It's a 2004 gen 7 accord saloon CDTDI...

If you have checked that you have 12v at one of the contacts on the two wires that go to the switch and then having shorted the two wires, the system still doesn't work, then it's pointless in changing the switch at this stage, the fault lies elswhere Leave it linked and look at other parts of...

Get the plug of the switch behind the lower grill (will be tricky), short the plug and check air con/ fans all start up If they do then it's either a duff switch or dirty contacts as was the case with ours, clean the contacts, put a bit of vaseline on and replace plug, then try again If still no...

Main dealers are not interested in helping you out as a DIY enthusiast, it's all about protecting knowledge and making money Keep at it, it will come appart and even if you break a bit of plastic off it won't prevent it going back on and after a good clean

Yes, in common with a lot of todays cars, trying to separate a plug and socket isn't easy, especially at distance, poor visuals, and not really understanding how they are locked together Try a large blade screwdriver between plug and socket, twisting screwdriver to put pressure on the plug plus...

Hi guys, see there has been more actions on this thread Just a bit more info from when I first meddled and fixed our A/C on the Accord It was the faulty connection under grill not giving 12 volts to the Compressor etc When I swapped the relays in the fault finding under the bonnet etc, it didn't...

Sorry to here it's the compressor, but at least you know for definate, the pics clearly show the items and the knuckle crunching area where the compressor connector lurks

Yes, straight off the battery positive, you can here a click as the clutch pulls in If your engine is running and the system has the requisite gas, the pipes quickly go cold. Remember Hondas are pretty well built and not saying your compressor isn't shot but do be sure it is before your shell...

Didn't take any pics of my efforts, but you don't need to remove any bodywork Worked through the lower grill to remove plugs etc Disconnecting the compressor connection is a bit of a pain, a single wire connector just above the Compressor You should see 12 volts at the feed when everythings OK...

No just from memory, just can't remember dates, times,places and peoples names

Right Guys, here's what I found and did Looking under the lower grill, located the A/C pressure switch connector and another connector below it, to another adjacent device Getting the connectors appart is a bit of a pain Removed the lower one which had two pins, and shorted the pins, made no...

Thanks for that, will try tomorrow and let you know the outcome

Yes he also did the pressure test and put the correct ammount in If I bridge the switch and it works, what next? leave it bridged? change the switch and if I do, does this lose all the gas?

Started this topic in newbies, but was advised to get the gas checked and restart here if no joy, so here we are again. A/C man checked pressure initially and was OK at 6 bar, but I asked him to drop the lot out and recharge Less quantity came out than was listed but allegedly some cars will...
