EDIT: I have figured out that the wiring harness wasn't plugged into the 5 spots or so that it was supposed to be. I took out the climate control and found that they were plugged in but when i followed the wiring none of them were hooked up. Where do these go guys/chicks? Thanks

OLD: So it's getting closer to winter and i will be needing to use my heater soon there's just one problem...it won't work! When I try to use it at all or turn it on at all no air comes out of any vents. None of the buttons light up when I push them too they just push in. I'm thinking it could be the heater relay or something? If anyone can help let me know

I'd take out the climate controls and make sure everything is plugged in. If they are, backtrack to the fuses and relays. If air isn't coming out, the fan isn't turning on. I don't remember if that's a fuse or a relay or if the fuse/relay is under the dash or in the engine bay.

 

Thanks man i'm trying that right now and i'll see how it goes

 

So everything is plugged in and the heating motor relay is good but it must be a fuse because the lights and everything aren't working on the part that you choose where the air hits as well as the switch to slide it on? Does anyone know where the fuse for this part of the center console is?? i searched and found nothing

 

45 views and one person helping? Dang peeping toms

 

check this http://spoon.org/civic/pics/In...l.jpg left column, third one up, the 7.5 amp fuse under the dash. I wonder if that's the one. There's gotta be a relay (or three) in the under-hood box that corresponds to that fuse.

 

thanks but shoot man fuse is good, I checked the relays, fuses, and pulled out the climate control and everything is plugged in. The emergency lights button and rear defroster work but not the entire climate control part. It doesn't light up nor turn on. Shoot i'll keep trying if anyone else knows anything that would be great

 

 

up for checkity checkin

 

if the fuses and relays are good check for continuity from the fusebox to the climate control unit. unless you have been under the dash doin stuff i don't know how the wiring could have gone bad, but it's worth a shot.

 

thanks man thats what i figured i'd have to do, ill check it out

 

bumpity bump

 

so i got under the dash to check the wiring out as well...none of the wiring harness from the climate control was plugged in! Now my question is, where does it go? There are a few different ones??????

 

well, they should be pretty easy to figure out ... i mean the plug size, number of wires, and maybe even wire colors should match up. Anyways, if it's totally weird down there, a picture would help Good job finding the problem!

 

nice thanks for helpin man Do you know if they are supposed to all plug into the interior fuse box around there? I'll get a pic asap

 

well, if the plugs you traced back from the climate controls terminate at the fuse box, then probably. probably have to plug into the back of the fuse box or the connections a little higher than the fuse box.

 

alright nice i'm gonna check around that area. Thanks for all the help again

 

Ok so i found two spots where two of them connect but now i'm looking for the other 2 or 3. There are two connections that sit above the ecu under the dash and those are both for it but now i'm searchin for the others haha any other help from anyone too would help

 

bump it up
