A/C Issue and I live in South Florida

[Ace`]

Hello all I will begin to go into deep details as deep as I can on my A/C issues...

The car I drive is a 1992 Accord EX with a F22a6, I received the car late January with 169k on it. The AC worked fine when I first received the car, whenever I hit the AC button the light would come on and I could turn the knob all the way over and it would blow cold.

Here's where the problems start:

• First my rear defroster went out, whenever I hit the button the light wouldn't come on.
  Simultaneously, I tried to hit the AC button and that light wouldn't work neither nor would the AC blow cold
  And to make the situation even worse now I try to turn the knob that controls the temperature all the way to cold but the knob won't turn all the way....When I turn it all the way, it clicks back a couple of times...
  So what I did was check the fuses and play around with them a bit, after doing this my rear defoster began to work but my AC still didn't
  So I took some R134a and tried to recharge it but that didn't work neither...

Now I ask is there anyone who can help me as I live in South Florida and summer is rolling around...I did a search but nothing turned up

It is probably your HVAC controler itself. I know they have been known to make bad connections due to poor solder points in them.

The switch assembly located behind the knob (that controls the temp) needs to be replaced from the issue you’re describing regardless if that solves your main problem or not. I don't think that will solve your entire problem, but it would be one off the check list!

check your fuse in your kick panels on your drivers side inside the car. the a/c main relay may be blown. and your defroster fuse may be blown

my cold controler doesn't go all the way over but it works so it's either un ac compressor or main relay n as far as ur rear defrost u have an electrical short so u have to check out the wiring to make sure no wire's r making contact or r cut

Summer already rolled up, and Im in Texas. No A/C...104 deg weather. Hope you get it fixed..

I'll give all the fuses and relays another check

hi i think it`s the icu [a timer under the dash ,black box by the steering wheel]

I have similar oases inthe same year car... Everything lights up and the a/c blows .. But for one when I run it. It drops my Rome during idle and gives me a sluggish first gear start.. As iffni started in second also the temp knob just turns freely.. By thati mean I have to press Down and turn, but it spins back.. And doesn't change the temp from where I put it.. Doesn't blow that cold either

In older integras ( the one in my signature ) the ICU likes to go bad causing the rear defroster and a bunch of other misc things to go bad. Im betting thats your problem with the rear defroster.

With the temperature knob im gussing the cable to the heater core valve ( or where ever it goes, somewhere under the hood near a small valve on the fire wall ) is binding up.
