I was driving with the ac on when I noticed it was getting colder and colder. So I shut off the ac but it stayed very cold. So I looked under the hood and noticed that even though the ac was off the clutch was still engaged. It got so cold inside even with the fan off that I had to pull #20 fuze which said ms clutch. Now does anyone know what I need to do. Pulling the fuze released the clutch. So is it a bad relay or a short in the wiring.
Thank you

PS If it is the relay where is it located. The manual only lists the fuses not the relays.

Care to share what kind of car you have?

Clutch relay is probably stuck on. There is an updated/improved relay available.

On a Civic forum, nice.

Replace the clutch relay..

Relay position #12 in the pic here (CRV and Civic share a lot of parts)









Ask your dealer parts department for Honda part number 39794-SDA-A05.
