A/C Function
This might be a dumb question but I wanted to get some more technical information before I started spending money on things that arent the problem.
I drive a 2001 Honda Civic LX with a 1.7L engine. Recently the condenser fan motor went bad and no longer works. I know that this assembly needs to be replaced. However, while I was checking to make sure nothing else was damaged or not working properly, I noticed that the AC compressor was not engaging when I turned the AC on.
My guess is that there is some sort of electronic control that will disengage the AC compressor if there is no power to the condenser as a fail safe. I just want to confirm this before I decide to replace the compressor unit.
Can anyone tell me for sure whether or not a lack of power to the condenser fan would cause the compressor to stop working?

Go through the HVAC system self diagnostic and see if it brings up any codes: https://honda-tech.com/honda-civic-2...rking-2864435/
