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 !!!!!!

Does the scanner data indicate there is an AC request seen by the PCM?
Is the thermal protector open circuit?
At the pressure switch, is the blue wire being grounded by the HVAC panel?

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.
