i have a 93 RS and when i press the a/c button the light doesn't even go on. i try to turn the **** for the fan and nothing. no fan, no sound jus nothing. if anyone has had this problem or knos where i should start lookin, please help me out. its hot as hell here and i'm dying.

 

Sounds like a fuse, and/or a bad climate control.

 

i checked the fuses and they seem to be ok. should i pull out the climate control and check the contacts or something? someone suggested the blower motor. anyone think it could be that?

 

check the blower motor resistor, common problem.

yep........did you check the fuses/relays? under the hood too??

 

oh damn, i didn't kno relays and underhood fuses came into play too. which relays and underhood fuses would i check?

 

you got IM

 

hey NeoGSR, i'm really sorry, but i didn't get ur IM. i don't kno why. could you maybe email me at redhulk662@yahoo.com? i really appreciate your help!

 

ok guys i took out my blower motor resistor and took a couple of pics. i kno the quality sucks, but if anyone can see something wrong with this let me kno. this thing looks pretty messed up but i jus wanna make sure that this is the thing i should replace.

that's what it looks like y0.
Are you sure it's the resistor, though?
When the resistor on my Si went bad the a/c still worked and 1 or 2
fan speeds still worked.
HTH

 

not sure if its the resistor or not, thats y i wanted someone to tell me if it looked ok or not. what about that grayish stuff on the wires? i see its like cracked and some of it looks like it fell off. if its not the resistor i'm gonna look at the blower motor next.

 

Yep, thats just the way mine looked when it went bad.

 

ok well none of my fan settings work. from what i've read, even if the resistor is bad some of the fan settings will still work. is this true?

In my case it was true. If I remember correctly, 2 worked 2 didn't.
You might have a fuse or relay problem or the fan or a/c switch might be bad.
Try the new resistor 1st and see what happens. At least it's cheap to replace.
Ok the helms says check fuses # 12, 17, 20, 21, 24
Before you do anything else. So you should start there.

thanks 4crx4me. i think i checked all my fuses, but i'll double check to make sure its not something that simple.

If it's not the fuses the helms says the next step is to check the grounds,
it lists 4 or 5 different ones to check. But without the manual to show you the locations, it would be kind of hard to explain.
Is there some way you could borrow a helms from someone?

 

ok i checked the fuses u mentioned. all are ok except i'm missing #17 which is the rear defroster relay. however i don't see a rear defroster button so i don't even think this applies to my situation. i have the pdf version of the helms manual. tell me what section your looking at.

Ok I have the 93 integra book version. on page23-49 it says fuse #17
is ac comp relay and ac switch indi light.

 

holy crap! ok i see wut ur talkin about. oh man i hope this is what my problem is... i'll let u kno.

 

ok this really pisses me off. i put in the #17 fuse and still nothing! no light, no fan! what now? should i check the switch?

When was the last time the system worked correctly? Did it ever work?
I'm confused as to why that fuse was missing, and why's there no power to switchs.
If ALL the fuses ARE GOOD. Then the next step according to the helms is check grounds: G281, G101, G201.
Then you go from there.

well i just got the car and according to the previous owner the a/c was working and it had just recently stopped. of course the bastard could have been lyin. on me for bein stupid enough to believe. as for the fuse missing, i have no idea what thats about. gonna check the grounds now.

 

i have no idea where G281 is. i see where G101 is supposed to be, but there are no wires there. i have no idea where these wires are supposed to even come from. i'm pretty sure G201 is all good. this car is really pissing me off...

As per 93 teg helms:
g101 is the ground for the rad fan relay and coolant temp switch. it is in the engine bay, and is part of the engine wire harness.
g281 is the ground for condesor fan relay and motor. It is in the engine bay as well, and is part of the ac wire harness.
HTH. good luck.
