Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone can help me out.
About a month ago I purchased a new Head Unit (Clairon NX404e) and also the the fascia plate (Connects2 CT23HD26) which is by Metra, for my Honda Accord 2.2 i-Ctdi 2006.
After having this installed, I turned on the AC and very shortly I started hearing a cracking/hissing sound from the bonnet and saw some smoke leak.
A few days later the AC stopped working and anytime the AC was switched on the cracking/hissing sound would return. I had it checked and the AC compressor had broken.
So here I am, I went an got the AC compressor replaced, when the garage gassed up the car, the same issue happened again. A Brand new compressor failed. They thought it may have been faulty so ordered a new one, and again the same problem.
So the 3rd time, they then ordered a compressor and a High pressure AC switch, They have gassed the car but its still not cooling, and yesterday I thought let me check it out, so I put on the AC and heard the same sound so turned it off straight away.
The garage is unsure of the issue and feel it could be a blocked AC matrix.
However, I know the problem started immediately after the installation of the new fascia and headunit.
The fascia has built in AC controls, although its dodgy, as the passenger side AC is controlled from the left hand side of the ac control and what not, but I want to see if anyone has had this issue after installing the Connects2 CT23HD26 fascia and if so, can you help me out with what the fix is?
Thanks
Adeel
