Default 92 A/C not working?

Sorry for a probable 200th repeat question

but I don't get cool air anymore... is there a fluid or coolant or something that could be needed to be refilled?

Thanks

go and have ur a/c system evacuated and recharged, at a local shop, it should work fine, sounds like you just need a little freon, you may want to make sure if you have a retrofit, if not you could be spending some money or a retrofit, or the good ol' R-12 refrigerant, which is about 112 dollars a can, thx a lot the EPA

your blend switch is probably broken, the *** that switchs from hot to cold pull it off and see if the plastic is broke, if it is just get a pair of pliers and turn it over to cold..........thats a common problem for old accords

first need to tell us has it always been working then just stoped? has it always been busted up? does it only blow slight cold ? or just regular/hot outside air?

could be just needed refill, mabey compressor f'd over, mabey the **** broke like city slicker said, or an easy fix like refilling it with 134a or 12a whatever u have anyways give us more of the story, that could help us out alot , hope we can help

It worked last summer but it was always very hard on the car to use it, like the car would shudder when at low rpms... but now i tried to use it this summer and it is almost always extremely hot. unless it is night time then it is probably room temperature. Temperatures get up to 100 here where I am.

Another problem I have recently had/noticed with the A/C is it is completely turned off but the car always pushes out a steady flow of warm air.

You will need to RAISE THE HOOD, see if the compressor and cooling fans are turning on when you try to run the A/C.
If not find the pressure switch on the High side tubing drivers front behind the headlight; jumper the wire harness pins and see if the Compressor and Fans come on.

It's not broken, I checked the blend switch.


I opened up the hood and turned on the car with the A/C off... I figured the lower right belt was the belt and compressor that was talked about but it was running... so where do I need to look? where is the compressor located?
