Post subject:  ac prob. please help... its hot
ok i have a question and i have pictueres cuz im sure my info wont do any good.. i think i have a bad wire connectin to my ac compressor becuz the black spiny thing next to the belt sometimes stops spinin.. heres a pic of the black spiny thing

and closer



now i thought mayb that thing will just stop spinin when the car is cool'd down but how would my car no when to turn on and off so i figure i have a bad wire which i beleve is the blue wire i have labled in the pic.. and i was wonderin how difficult it is to switch out the blue wire for a wire that isnt shortin out... so any help will b appriciated, thanks guys

here is a pic of the wire and spiny thing

there's a pressure switch in the ac system that wont allow the spiny thingy (which is the clutch on the ac compressor) to kick on if the system is not fully charged. check and make sure your ac is charged then go from there.

that black spinny thing is ur AC clutch. Your compressor toggles on and off depending on the pressure that the pressure sensor sees. Its not continuely running.

that wire looks to be too thick of gauge to be the pressure switch...looks more like the wires for the clutch coil. Its been a long time since i looked at a honda AC system so i dont remember where the pressure switch is on the compressor. On my daily driver the pressure switch shorted out and would allow the compressor to even engage.

if the interior stays cool, don't worry bout it, if not u may need to have the system charged and checked for leaks again
