'95 Civic--intermittent A/C cooling problem

intermittent electrical problems are most always bad connections

i second the suggestion about looking at the wiring harness behind the
A/C panel on the dash. If there is a PCB, i would suggest an
inspection and resolder of broken solder joints, similar to fixing the
main relay intermittent problem.

good luck

 

I just drove the car for an hour, and the A/C didn't engage once at all,
even though the temperature was quite high inside the car and warm outside.

When I said "intermittent," I meant that there are times when I can
drive the car for a whole hour and the compressor won't engage.

And that ain't right.

I'll do that.
Someone else already suggested to also check the A/C on/off button (the
one that has the LED light indicator). The dash electricals are the one
thing that the mechanics haven't checked yet.

for anything specific. The good news is it yields many
"hits." The bad news is that the problems are a miscellany.

I think there's a cutout switch that detects low pressure as well as
HIGH. If it's been 'topped up' by somebody who isn't familiar with
Hondas, that could be your problem too. They are apparently easy to
overcharge...
