Best video I've seen on ac issues for my 2005 Honda Accord

Great video. My fan control was allowing some air at two speeds but not much improvement at the highest speed. In fact, it sounded like it was blowing most of the air at the front defrost even though it was set to blow air into the passenger compartment. I have a 2013 CRV and I can hear the blower fan bearings starting to squeal. I checked the relays in the engine compartment fuse box and made sure they were all pushed down and seated. Some were loose but are now seated. I then drove the car for 40 minutes and found that the climate control system was working again with no issues. I still plan to replace the fan and resistor simply due to age (10.5 years) plus parts are becoming harder to find. The blower motor and resistor are on backorder with the Honda dealer and at some auto parts stores. Thanks for the video as it's very straightforward and easy to understand.

I have both parts and will replace them when it gets cooler here. I do not mean really cold but cool enough to be outside with out it reaching 100. Some where in the 70's would be nice.

Yep. The resistor!

Hope you see this soon… I did onboard diagnostics and it says “open in evaporator temp sensor circuit”. I’ve read about all these things for 2 days (your video is awesome, covers almost all I’ve found in various places). What’s weird is it’s cold here, real cold, Colorado, so I was using the heat. It was blowing and I started driving and then the blower just stopped. Why would the evap sensor go out in winter when I’m just using heat? I plan to take it out and test it, but it’s going to be incredibly difficult to get out, so I’m trying to make sure that’s what I should do. I swapped the relay, no go; tested the under hood fuse and under dash fuse, all good; have not yet tested voltage at the blower motor, but the connector looks good (no burns or melting). Also… while testing all temps/modes/fan speed today, I noticed that when I turn it on low temp, the radiator fan comes on for a couple seconds and then shuts off. Does this point to the evap temp sensor? And you commented to someone else, asked if there’s a “whisk” of air from the vents. There is on mine, I can feel heat if I put my hand right up to the vent, and the tiniest bit of air movement. No, I have not changed the cabin air filter. Oddly, I thought to do it last month but never got around to it. Before yesterday it was blowing great. It’s never quit intermittently or anything.

Thanks, my issue was the same on my 04 Civic. There is a cheap fix alternative to replacing the whole transistor assembly though. Most of the time, a thermal resistor inside it fails (as a protection mechanism) because it overheated (probably because the filters are clogged and regularly stressing it with the extra resulting heat from the stress on the fan). So you can crack that thing open very easily with a flathead and just replace the thermal resistor inside, OR you can bypass it entirely by shorting the resistor. Just use a 1 ohm resistor across the poles or a 10A fuse to provide some level of protection.

Okay. Do you mean while the car is in motion or it doesn't matter? I mean if at operating temp and stationary, it still works... Sounds like a relay acting up to me. What's the ambient temp?

The ambient temp sensor provides input to the operation of the AC. I'd say you have it replaced. Also, do you know if the AC clutch kicks in only at that operating temp? In the meanwhile, you could try swapping the AC clutch relay to rule that out.

I took the resistor out, and the chip was rusted behind the plate. So I brushed out whatever residue on there and it started working. I will see if it works rest of the week.

Hey man I need your help seriously, I have an 03 honda accord and you have to understand I only have a basic light tester, I've replaced the resistor and a few new fuses, but now my my back defroster doesn't work and the lights on the dash have gone out. I replaced my resistor nothing happened, replaced the fuses and even swapped the two bigger blue relays. Nothing is working. Please help me man also the wiring for my blower motor is all tapped and wrapped around the blower motor itself and seems like a bloody mess. Please help me man I live in Canada and you have no idea how frustrating it is to drive like ace ventura in -30

This is at idle correct? I'm guessing something maybe loose or it could be a defective motor that is drawing too many amps. Could also be rough idling transmitted from the engine, meaning some tune up is required. To rule out high current draw by the blower motor you'll need to measure amps while it's at high speed. If it reads within the manufacturer spec, then it's not that.

@julioalvarez2069 Yes. If its bad, the blower won't work. That was exactly what happened in my case. There are methods for testing the resistor but it varies by car model. See what you find online about it. You can test it or gamble with a replacement if the test is too complicated.

Seems like you have the evaporator freezing over and not allowing all to blow through it. Check that your cabin filter is not clogged, AC charge is appropriate(no leaks). Any prior work on the system? Has it been opened? Was it vacuumed if so?

When I turn on my air, the radiator fan turns on for 5 seconds and then turns off immediately. I had the same issue 2 weeks ago but the A/C and fan started working randomly again, but now I’m running into the same issue again. What would cause the radiator fans to run and turn off immediately?
