Rep Power: 0 a/c not working
I have a 2003 honda civic. My a/c isn't working. I took it to my mechanic and he doesn't have what is needed to test exactly what problem is. He said the a/c it's self is working just not being told to turn on. He said it could be in wiring or sensor or something else he just can't test it to find out. I need help please. I'm 63 and on disability with limited funds but in need of my a/c. PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED !!!!!!

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Is the thermal protector open circuit?
At the pressure switch, is the blue wire being grounded by the HVAC panel?

Re: a/c not working
I did the below...
1. Removed Wheel & Splash Guard to access the clutch.
2. REMOVE Clutch Plate >>> Got a universal AC clutch tool - which was useless to me, as it only wasted time in trying to hold the clutch plate. At last, i used an impact driver & the nut came off very easily - Try the same & save yourself a lot of time.
3. Cleaned thoroughly inside & out (be careful with the tiny washers inside the clutch plate).
4. Put everything back. Been driving it for 2 days now. AC doesn't stop as it used to before. Will check for few more days & let you all know if it dies again (i will change the clutch, if so).
No harm in trying this... Its free of cost rather spending $400-$600 to replace the clutch. Could be temporary too, but worth the savings !
Thanks.
