Hi guys, I thought I'd share this with you. Since I'm living in the Gulf, having an A/C in the car is as important has having in engine in it! No A/C no driving! I'm talking Temp. Excess of 45 Degrees Celsius in the SHADE! Anyhow, my CRX never proved to have a great A/C. As a matter of fact, in such conditions, only Toyotas manage to get cool air instantly! How, no clue, but they are famous here for it. So last week, after a heavy street race with an S320 (triggered by mere stupidity and one too many whiskeys) in which I proved that and S320 may go from 100 to 160 KM/H too fast for my old CRX to catch, a properly executed turn with a suspension like Honda's can take that advantage out! Anyhow, next day in the morning, I start my A/C and no response, so what do I think? I must have forgotten to switch it off or something a probably killed the compressor. Later, giving direct current to the clutch of the compressor proved that there is nothing wrong with it. So I took it to Honda Agency who said that I have a fault in the A/C Module (it is the part which has the fan speed switch and temp control on the dash board!) and it will cost me 500 US$ to get the part which-on top of that- not available at the time!! After trying several ways to obtain the part I gave up and then it hit me; why not try to fix it? After all, I'm a computer engineer and I know it could be fixed. And so it was the case, we took the electric circuit apart and we tested it (with the help of a friend and proper electric equipment) and alas, it was a stupid resistor and the cost was about 10 US$!!! So you guys out there, if it happens to you, locate a good electronics maintenance shop next to you and take it to them, you will be surprised how little it will cost! ciao....
