hi guys...

i have a somewhat big problem...bought my 01 civic around 8 months ago, at the tip of the beginning winter...and couldnt test my a/c..

now in summer, the a/c wont give me any cold air at all...

Got my gas refilled...still the same, no cold air.

-took it to a mechanic who filled in the gas said that, the air compressor switch is broken

-took it to another mechanic and he told me that its the compressor thats broken

-took it to get it fixed at another mechanic for reasonable price and he said its the switch



so basically i have no clue what to believe and not to believe...how would i know if its the air conditioner compressor switch thats broken or its the compressor itself. ???

my airconditioner button and light inside does turn on. but just doesnt give any cold air.


help please...
thanks

well it could be the solenoid on the actual compressor thats broke, the only way to do it would be to switch it on inside and try and jump the connectors if the compressor was broke the belt would still attemp to drive the A/C so and would make some shifty noises sounds like its the switch/solenoid.
