Default AC question

Just noticed that my AC is no longer working. Not quite sure when this happened but it was recent, when I press the button on the console it still lights up and says that the AC is on, but the compressor isn't kicking on. Not sure if there are any fuses that I can check or if there are any tests I can do so any help would be appreciated.

Same thing happened to me, I though gave up on it and used it as an excuse to rip out the whole system.

If the freon is to low, the compressor will not kick on. So I would say there is a leak.

Freon does not run out like gasoline, its in the system for ever. If its low, its low for a reason.

unless your car has been converted, it doesn't use r134a, it takes r12 which you need a license to buy... but you can buy the conversion kit to convert to r134a for like 30 bucks, but i dunno if you feel like spending that much for AC, plus when your purging the old r12 don't let anyone know or see you, its a federal crime

I had the same problem, one of the terminals under the hood came loose. The guy at honda did not even charge me to fix it.
