Default Need help with my Wierd AC problem. Condenser fan not spinning and compressor switching on and off

Need help from AC experts.

I have a 96 civic lx.

First the AC condenser fan never comes on.

When car is on in idle, I can hear the AC compressors clutch switching on and it will run for about 10 secs and then shut off. It repeats this sequence over and over sporadically.

The Low pressure valve connection to the compressor had some greenish fluid inside of it bubbling out when I took off the blue cap. I wiped that clean and I haven't seen any green fluid since.

When the car is in idle, the AC is warm.

When I drive it even at just 20mph, the ac is ice cold.

This leads me to believe that there is enough r134a in it.

Any ideas of what the problem can be other than the compressor fan not coming on? Could low r134a cause the fan not to come on?


Last thing.. if I need to check the ac condenser fan, how do I do this safely because I noticed that the high and low pressure compressor hoses would need to be removed for that job and I don't want to have that **** blow up in my face. Thanks and sorry for being

There are 4 open threads now which are exactly the same. I also explained in detail what the problem is and why stuff happens... The first 2 topics are already answered, and were posted earlier than this one.

And #3. Maybe you should just cancel your trial. EPIC FAIL for you.
