I have an 89 CRX si and I'm trying to get my AC back up and running. The AC hot/cold **** is broken - one of the two metal pieces that the **** connects to is broken off and the surrounding plastic is cracked and sunken in.

Anyone know where I can find a replacement? Will the parts from an 88-91 Civic fit? Does anyone have a spare they want to get rid of?

I found ONE junkyard that has it and they want $100 for one with a crack in it....

thanks!

 

unfortunately your probably going to have to buy something like that. I have attempted to fix mine as one of them have the same problem. I think that in this situation your going to break down and buy that piece. Sorry dude I know it sucks.

 

There's got to be someone with a parts car laying around...

Any word on whether the 88-91 Civic climate control unit will work in a CRX?

 

Yeah so I called the honda dealership and they can order the Climate Control Unit for a mere $364!


PLEASE ANYONE HELP!!!! YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE

 

The piece you are referring to suffers one of the few outright design flaws in the entire car. Given the age of all the 88-91s, most will either have some degree of cracking or develop one soon.

The 88-91 Civic is not a bolt in affair.
Neither is the JDM version.

Now, I have seen a few conversions to a 90-93 Accord control here on Honda-Tech. I don't know the amount of work involved but they don't crack...might be worth investigating further.

And I'm one of the suckers that bought a new one...at least it was through a buddy who got the employee discount. Still cost me $220.
