My A/C stopped working about a month ago and I thought at first it just needs a recharge, but when I checked the pressure, it's at 65 psi. Any thoughts as to what could be wrong?

2001 EX

The pressure is that high even when the car is turned off.

 

i dunno cause i never use my a/c, roll the windows down, a/c makes me sleepy, just thought i say

 

The defroster doesn't work that great without A/C.

 

I took my car into the dealership. They found the problem to be the thermal protector on the a/c compressor to be bad. Replaced and it works great!

 

cool, thanks for the update!

 

what is a thermal protector? any pictures?

The most useless post ever ^^ Go '07!

Its likely that the compressor clutch has failed. It seems that these sanden compressors suck. Honda quality has been steadily falling. Anyhow I had a similar problem, I simply replaced the compressor and had it vac-ed and charged. Works good.. for now..

Good luck
