i have a 90 hatch and all of a sudden i turn on my A/C and nothin happens

i mean like its not blowin out anything at all

this happen to anybody else?

what to do?

 

well how about your heater? is it blowin?if not u might need a new a/c-heater blower......

 

If the blower doesnt' turn on at all (a/c or heat), the likely suspect is the resistor pack connected to the blower (controls the blower speed). If you take out your glvoe box, you can get to it a little easier....it's a black plastic plug that is screwed into the blower...think there is 3 wires that go into it. That needs to be replaced.
Good luck

 

you know when you marry them they stop blowin.....get a divorce and that should fix it

 

ahhh. words of wisdom. hahahah.

 

If it is only the AC side of things, you may need to have it recharged-there is a sensor for this. If you are not getting any heat either-then check the fuses first. If that doesn't work, check the resistor pack as mentioned. Neeed a complete 90 crx/civ blower assembly-got one sitting here (e-mail me) with good resistor pack. Also have a CRX control unit-but I doubt you only need the AC switch.

 

neither the heat or the a/c work

they probably work its just that when i adjust the lever with the 1-2-3-4 on it nothin blows at all

its like whatever blows the air stopped working,

what would cause that?

 

Sorry to be the odd one but.. According to the wiring diagram of a 1996 Civic (that's all I had) and what learned in class.. Yes, your problem can be the resistors in the resistor block..

But....... According to your latest post, I have to disagree with it. Because you see, if you turn the **** to 1,2,3, and 4 it doesn't work. Well if I remember correctly from class and by looking at the wiring diagram, I can tell you that the resistor block is probably working fine.

To give you a technical answer, I would have to say that your point in your Heater Fan Switch **** is faulty or burnt out.

This will explain why I say that the resistor block is probably fine. Because according to the wiring diagram, by turning the Heater Fan Switch **** to either 1,2, or 3, the current will travel to the Resistor Block and then to the Blower Motor. But, if you turn the **** to 4, current will go directly to the Blower Motor. That is what proves the Resistor Block to not be at fault. But that doesn't mean it's not.. It could be both Resistor Block and the Heater Fan Switch ****'s points that are defective.

But you have to agree that after looking at a wiring diagram, settings 1,2, and 3 will send current through the Resistor Block and setting 4 will send power straight to the motor.. So if the Heater Fan Switch ****'s point is burnt out, it can't send power out at all..

So what I think you'll have to do is either get a new Heater Fan Switch **** or take out the Resistor Block and ohm check the resistors to make sure that they're working.

But if it were my GSR, I'd just get a new switch..

Hope that helps.. Let me know how it goes and if I was on the money or not..

#5 is the resistor everyone is talking about. On the resistor there is 3 coils of wire each in different thickness and number of coils. If one of the coils breaks, then one of the settings wont work. If all 3 break, then the first 3 settings will not work work. I would say take off your glove box, yank it off and look at it. If the coils are broken, replace it. They are only 24.91 at majestic honda. Mine went bad and the #1 setting didnt work so i replaced mine.

 

**** it take it now that's just what i would do why spend money to fix it
j/k

 

There's something to back up my reply.. Setting number 1 didn't work so this guy replaced the resistor block or whatever you want to call.. That's because only one of the settings doesn't work.. So in his case, I can assume that the first resistor is at fault.

So in easier terms.. I still think that your switch is faulty.. But go ahead and buy a new resistor block and see if it helps.. If not, then I can assume it's your switch..

 

Well shoot man. If it ain't workin, you got yourself a perfect excuse to take it out. 100+ horsepower instantly. Wooohoooo! Roll down the windows. and let the wind take care of the rest.

I should state one of the 3 coils on the resistor pack was broken and caused an open circuit at the number 1 setting. It will be broken so you will be able to see if it is broken.

I dont think it is the problem in your case i think it is the switch as previously mentioned.

 

So yeah.. Technically according to the wiring diagram, the switch is the problem..

 

just take it out
