AC stops working

Thank you for the reply, Ken. I will try to check on this one. Am really a new with this so the diagrams are really helpful. What I was able to already try on my own so far is to remove the clutch relay and let it idle with engine already at warm temp. So far fuse held on. Not sure if that is enough but that led me to believe it can be something related to the clutch assembly or line. Just a newbie hunch though. Would a relay actually cause such issue? Can I safely swap relay between clutch and condenser fan or radiator fan without causing further problems?

Hello. I swapped the relays but did not really help other than ruling it out as the fault. It turned out to be something over the current capability of someone new like me. Got help on this one and as suspected, it came up that the magnetic compressor clutch is causing the fuse to short out. When getting it replaced, a bigger issue was found. The shaft (not sure if it's the correct name for it) where the magnetic clutch connects to the compressor is already faulty. It is loose and has a play to it. Was told replacing the clutch alone will just result on it failing again so I ended getting the whole compressor and clutch replaced.

Thanks for the help in guiding me to the right direction. Though it turned out to be a costlier repair than what I had anticipated and hoped for.

I had a Freon leak repaired about one year ago, the replacement Freon had dye in it to detect future leaks. In the last week, my A/C stopped working completely. When I checked under the hood, there was a bright red substance around the component that holds motor oil. The horizontal seal around that component in particular has this substance in the crease.

I tried to locate the A/C compressor, but I don't know enough figure out what it is.

I attached the picture, everything red appears to be new within the last few days.

The red substance is all around the crease, and seems to have dripped down on other engine parts.

I have recharged my air, tested pressure switch on drier, checked relay and a/c won't work. If I apply power at compressor pigtail it will engage.

I personally charged to proper level of freon and compressor will not engage.

Evacuated system, vac for 35 mins, added 24oz, spec is 22 to 24.7. Pressures were 35 low, didnt have high side guage hooked up though

It appears that when the switch is turned on, there is not power going to compressor, continuity between relay box and compressor is good, fuse is good.

Air Conditioning problem

I have a 98 CRV, during the summer when we start the A/C, it does not blow the air as much as it used to, it feels like it is hardly blowing at all, therefore, my kids in the back seat can not feel the air at all. During the winter we have the same problem with the heat. What is the problem?

Have you tried to bypass the clutch cycle switch?

When I have the fan on it sounds like it is on high, but feels like it is on low.

I did bypass the cycle switch. Still made no difference.
