Rep Power: 0

Hello all
I have a 2003 Honda Civic 3DR. The aircon has stopped working (neither fan or the compressor is running). I have traced this to the AC pressure switch and verified that it is the switch by shorting it out and everything works.

How can I tell whether this is genuinely because the pressure is too low or if the switch is faulty? Also, is replacing the switch simply a case of unscrewing the old one and screwing a new one in or would removing it cause the refrigerant to leak out ?

Regards

Mark

I would almost guarrantee that it is a pressure problem and not the switch. You cannot just unscrew the switch because refridgerant will leak out. take it to an ac place and have them check the pressure.

Thanks for the quick and helpful response. Sounds like either way I won't be able to fix it myself so I'll take it down to my local Honda dealer tomorrow.
