Do you have to change the compressor in a Honda Accord?
Along with the compressor, as you found out, the drier must be replaced, which is part of the condenser, replacing the condenser is also a must as it will get clogged with the crap from the old compressor. The expansion valve should also be changed, if it’s restricted. It is NO fun to change.
Why does the AC compressor come on when I Turn on the AC?
The compressor seems to come on when you turn on the ac. You can hear the familar drain on electrical. Also it blows hot air. Firestone did a check on the ac and said the compressor was bad. That is not the fan relay then. I had the same thing happen (relay) and nothing will happen when the a/c is switched on.
What should I do if my AC compressor fails?
Typically a failed compressor will be either extremely noisy or not turn at all. In most cases they will leak as well. I’d run the car with the A/C on for 10mins or so and then check if the tube on the low pressure side of the system is cool/cold to the touch. If it is, then you may have another problem. It could be something a lot more simple.
Can a radiator fan be turned on when the a / C is on?
Yes, the fan will come on when you turn the A/C on, so that proves the fan works. Leave the A/C off for the rest of the test. Start your vehicle, and let it idle for 10-15 minutes. Depending on the ambient temperature in your location, this should be long enough for the coolant temp to get hot and the thermostat to open up.
Why is my a / C compressor not coming on?
If there is voltage to the sensors and nothing past the sensors, then the system is low on refrigerant. If there is no voltage to the sensors, then the a/c switch would need to be replaced. The cooling fans and condenser fans either are not coming on from a loss of power or the motors are burned up.
Why is my condenser fan not coming on?
The cooling fans and condenser fans either are not coming on from a loss of power or the motors are burned up. First check the cooling fan circuit. If there is no power to the cooling fan, then check the fuses and see if they are burned.
When to replace the a / C switch on a condenser fan?
If there is power to the motors on the cooling fan, then the fan motor is burned up and needs replaced. For the condenser fan, if there is no power to the fan, then check the fuses for any of them burned. If the fuses are good, then the a/c switch would need to be replaced.
What happens if you have a bad air conditioner clutch?
If the compressor clutch gets damaged, it will keep the air conditioning system permanently on or off. A faulty compressor clutch can be replaced but it is generally recommended to replace the whole compressor to save time and additional cost. How to Diagnose if the Car AC Compressor Has Failed?
How do you change the clutch on a dirt bike?
With a screwdriver holding the brake pedal down, or the pedal removed, carefully remove the clutch access cover, or RH engine cover. With the clutch cover removed, loosen the pressure plate bolts that will be facing you using a criss-cross and multiple step process, then remove the pressure plate.
What to do if your AC compressor clutch is broken?
If you don’t see obvious signs that the compressor clutch is broken, you can jump it for further diagnosis. Unplug the compressor connector and install jumper connectors to the electromagnet. You will need a wire crimp tool because the connectors are small. Route the wires to the car battery.
Which is the best Honda Accord a / C CLUTCH?
Notes: New, With 10PA17C compressor. With 5 groove pulley 0.0 out of 5 stars. 0.0 out of 5 stars.
What do I need to replace the clutch in my car?
This includes replacing the pilot bearing which the transmission input shaft goes into, the throwout bearing which engages the pressure plate via the clutch fork, the flywheel which I upgraded to an aluminum light weight flywheel, and finally the rear main seal because that is a common wear item which causes oil leaks in higher mileage motors.
When did the Honda Accord get an update?
Please call Member Services at 1-800-333-0663 An update of the 2003-2005 model, the 2006-2007 Accord combines sportiness and all-around capability. Both the base four-cylinder and the optional V6 are refined, quick, and relatively economical. The ride is nicely firm and handling is nimble.

Is there a bad a / C pressure switch shutting off the compressor?
Put 12 volts to the compressor and make sure the clutch locks up first. You checked the compressor clutch fuse, right? Highly unlikely the ECM died for the a/c only. Is there a bad a/c pressure switch shutting off the compressor? Get a shop to hook up the manifold gauges, jump the compressor to engage it and read the pressures.
Along with the compressor, as you found out, the drier must be replaced, which is part of the condenser, replacing the condenser is also a must as it will get clogged with the crap from the old compressor. The expansion valve should also be changed, if it’s restricted. It is NO fun to change.
What causes an AC compressor to not engage?
If the clutch doesn’t engage, the problem could be a blown fuse, an open in the wire to the clutch coil, a bad clutch coil, a poor ground, or a low pressure lockout. AC compressor clutches receive power in a number of ways. They can activate through a relay that’s energized directly by a proper condition of the low and high pressure switches.
How can I tell if my compressor is running or not?
Not really. DIY kits come with a low pressure side gauge and they’re designed to provide a static pressure (engine not running or AC off) and a running pressure. Static low side pressure won’t give you any idea of system charge. You could have a low side target range of 50-psi and see that static pressure on your gauge.
What does low side pressure on compressor mean?
Static low side pressure won’t give you any idea of system charge. You could have a low side target range of 50-psi and see that static pressure on your gauge. All that tells you is that there is some refrigerant in the system. But 1 ounce of refrigerant will provide a 50-psi reading the same as a full system.
