Fixed my aircon, just swapped in the new relay and back to blowing cold, thanks for the video mate
lol funny seeing ampisound here
@@somdov ya boi had a car to fix!
LEGEND! Replaced the relay on my civic type S GT and the aircon is working again! Thanks mate appreciate it.
Thank you for providing the solution and part number. Had my aircon regassed and it didn't work. Watched your video, £3 off eBay for the relay and it's fixed the problem 👍
Thanks for this tutorial!! I was spent half of air con tube for nothing till I saw that I don't have that relay
Thanks for the tip, on the 6th gen EK same issue, crappy OMRON relais making A/C switch off/on all the time. I have replaced my A/C pump and condensor after 10 years. So when someone buys an 8th gen, make sure this has been already replaced, otherwise you will have to.
You sir are a king, all your videos are life savers
Ha did it. It didn’t work at first BUT the following day it kicked in. Must have been a turn it off/turn it on again moment. Well done. I’m very pleased.
Good video. I put a new relay this afternoon. No change. Still as warm as an over. My civic is 2010 and I can’t see those pipes. Might stick it in to the garage.
Excellent demonstration. Thank you.
Brilliant - Halfords wanted to charge me £97.00 to do this! You're a legend - Thanks so much
Just saved me quite a bit of money, owe you a beer!
Relay did it for me. Thank you so much!
Great mate now I can help my daughter with her 2011 civic keep it coming anything about haonda civics would be appreciated
Great video how many cans did you use and what pressure did you finally leave it on?
Good video will try this, what and where do you get the valves from?
Thanks for the help, I changed my relay and it's blowing cold air! Cost me £6 at the local motor discount
Was it only blowing hot air before? Mine blows hot air only in the summer, and Halfords said there’s gas leak but in winter there was hot and cold air
Worked a treat, thank you.
Thanks for the video. Do you a link to the parts you used please.
tnx for the video, very helpful!! The AC have worked intermittent for the last 6 month or so, I have a AC pressure checker so I knew the system was full, looked at the ac compressor and noted that the magnetic clutch did not engage, opened fuse compartment and knocked on the suggested relay and immediately the compressor engaged and cool air came out in the air went! :) :) New realy ordered as to your suggestion!
Got the relay today and and the AC is back in action working as it should again !! :)
Also worth checking the condenser mine had a hole in it.
Would the fan belt thing spin if there was no gas in the air con?
I've checked the fuse and relay on my GFs 2009 Civic. Removing and replacing either with aircon on makes a noticeable 'clunk' from the compressor. Compressor external pulley permanently rotates so presumably internal clutch? System does have gas but I don't have a pressure tester.
This problem seems to occur after non-operation and sometimes comes back.
Any suggestions before I buy a pressure gauge and gas as I suspect gas maybe OK?
Really helpful video thanks. I have this exact same model of civic but 09.i have had the condenser replaced a few years ago. Today my aircon has gone warm again though it seems to have kicked in when we went up a hill. I can hear the relay click when ac turned on off, it's original and some of the plastic top has broken prob when I hit last time but guessing it's OK. I pressed the valves in and gas shot out. When I press ac button fan seems to engage but doesn't sound normal and air is warm. Any immediate ideas?
Did you figure this out Gareth? same here
Where did you get the kit? Or the description?
Hi, I checked the fuse and relay and compressor still doesn't rotate. I have also had the system regassed and mechanic said there's no leak. What do you think the problem is? Compressor siezed or bar condenser? Thanks in advance!
Replaced mine as well, the mechanic quoted £300 fix. I said, no thank you.
Trying everywhere to find the part, but i can't find the exact one. Everything i found is almost identical but the mounting holes are slightly different
What is the upgraded ac relay as i have the oem from factory on my honda civic 1.8 petrol omron/kyoden g8hl-h71?
Mines blowing cold but only luke warm when temp should be blowing hot any suggestions does this relay fix both? Thanks
What vales did you buy?
Hey, Awesome video was just wondering the names of the two different valve cores you are using there trying to find replacements for mine
I'd also like to know what the valves were and where to get them please
It’s mental, I phoned Honda parts department and they want 30 pounds for a new relay! Ordered one off Amazon for 6 pounds. Fingers crossed that’s it’s just the relay, when I turn on the AC in the car, I cannot hear any noise coming from the engine bay ie the AC compressor working.
Do you have a link to the value kit?
Where did you get the valve replacement kit? Cheers.
My car has sat for 5 years. I now put it back on the road but the ac compressor dont run and I think it is low on refridgerant. Can I add refrigerant and not be worried about doing more harm than good. It is a 2004 honda covic SiR.
Do u need to replace the relay only if the fans are not turning on when u press the AC button? My fans are working, but warm air is blowing, meaning I just need to recharge the gas?
Mate I bought the car recently with no ac working. So I went to Kwik fit had the ac gas refilled ,but with in one day it's all gone. Now where do I go .any help would be greatly appreciated
You are an absolute legend. I have been trying to wrap my head around trying to figure out why mine doesnt work. My car behaves exactly like you described. I will be following the steps as u instructed. However, is it absolutely necessary to change the relay? or is it something you changed as a precaution?
+Da Go remove the old one and see what make it is , give it a shake if it sounds like a bag of nails put it in the bin
The cjrshop i will be checking that later. Ive ordered the same ones you recommended anyway, theyre cheap so its fine. Its good to have spares anyway.
+Da Go exactly
Good video
My A.C isn't working on lo or hi settings. It just blows same air on both. Do you think this could fix my issue?
Swapped the relay on mine. Now works fine and cost me £4 with free delivery
Where you bought it?
@@novosel795 Ebay 👍
Jay Tube thank you
mine is on by default but doesnt work, first time i press the air con button it appears to turn it off
Hi CJR i cannot for the life of me,find the valve repair kit, anyone got the UK link.
lmao I've just replaced the relay, it worked for like 1 week but suddenly it is not working again. Should i replace it again or idk
Hi mate, my AC just stopped blowing cold air when I was on M25. I was going about 85m/h so do you think this might have caused the AC to fail?
Anyway I'll try your suggestions and see what happens. One question though, don't you need to drain the system with a vacuum first? Thanks in advance!
Julius Desbruslais Check the relay he pointed out in the video. If it's made by Omron, that's the original that Honda basically admitted isn't good enough. You need the upgraded relay made by Mitsuba. Search on Ebay. I have been through this whole process in the last month! 👍🏻
Alright cheers for the info.. Is it crucial to vacuum and drain the system first?
Hi mate... I know this is an old post now but having the same issue. Just bought the value kit and going to buy the gas today.
How many bottles did you go through in the 5minute recharge you mentioned in the video?
My system is empty so wondered how many bottles I'd need to top it up
2 bottles 👍
@@Cjrelectrical thank you.
What sort of PSI level do I need to reach for stability? Is the 30/35 you had in the video sufficient.
🤞🏽 This works.. Pinning my hopes on this gem of video
Yeah let it settle on the gauge roughly stable in the middle of the green section
The garage I took my civic to just re gassed mine the 2nd time with double UV dye. Before, they did a vacuum and pressure test and all held for 45min + UV dye not showing any leaks. The relay was already replaced, maybe the high and low valves are not functioning ?
Or the pressure switch is faulty
Pressure switch should work since the compressor stops working once the gas have escaped and engages perfectly once re-gassed. Correct me if I am wrong.
Yes if the compressor is engaging with full gas then yes the high pressure switch is fine
You definitely have a leak I’m guessing it’s on the 2 valves I had to replace.
Can you please suggest the link where I can buy the kit, pressure gauge and gas to top up. Thanks in advance
Halfords
UK versions of the civic look funny, only the engine compartment is similar. You dont want to run into what I have intermittant AC which the relay doesnt fix. Each mechanic tries to recharge system and charges you standard fees and system doesnt act up when they have it.
Where can you buy the right Honda relay? It's seems smart to have a spare one with you on holiday in a warm country :-)
Tintoycar I got mine on Ebay. The recommended brand is Mitsuba. Mine cost about £4, switched it over and my air con came out ice cold immediately.
Is it the Mitsuba RC-5008 ?
I bought the Mitsuba RC 7001.
I got some out of 7G Civics from the breakers for £0 and they worked fine....
Hello mate I've tryed everything with no luck. Do you know how to replace the pressure sensor as I think this might be causing the compressor to not start up?
Yes drain the system and there’s a sensor in the pipe next to the drivers headlight it has an electrical plug if you unplug it and bridge the connection it will act as if the switch is pressed and it should engage the compressor clutch .
Legend thanks for the quick response! I tried it and it made the engine stall, think the compressor is shot?
No worries pal .
Fans Don’t Come On When I Press Ac Button Or Compressor .
Do you have a link to the valve set mine
was gassed 3 weeks ago and has snow stopped again
It was vac tested and it held vacuum ok
Malcolm stephenson if you have gas I suggest a new relay for the compressor or low pressure switch . Do a google search lots on the net about it , as for the valve cores just put valve Cores in ebay search there all universal in A/C systems .
The cjrshop I put a new modified relay in before it was gassed last time as it had the troublesome honda one fitted
I'm thinking there is a leak somewhere but not sure if uv dye was added as it was done at mates rates
Like I say they said it held a vacumn when it was gassed last time
I have replaced mine (the relay was broken) but still not working.. compressor clutch is not trying to engage, any idea of what could be ?
Pressure switch
@@Cjrelectrical Thank you, I didn't see your reply until now. It ran out of gas (probably you assumed I refilled it too) so I am reviewing your video again to learn. Really helpful!
I just checked and I have no gas in the system. Do you think a plain regas would solve it.
Old Skool Chills I will add a description of parts used in the info box as for a regas the gas has escaped for a reason, have a look around the a/c pipes or condenser for signs of leaking , and definitely change the valve cores on the high and low gas ports .
Thank you very much. It's people like yourself who help people like me in saving money and time. I've only just got the car today and will check what you mention. The Gas is about £40 per bottle from Halfords though so not cheap.
Old Skool Chills that's okay any more questions fire away , yeah I buy it when it's 3 for 2 , remember every empty you take back they will refund you £10 👍🏻
Hi. The condenser is leaking ;-( I don't suppose you have magic tips for replacing that do you?
Old Skool Chills unfortunately if your not mechanically minded I wouldn't tackle it , having said that it's not impossible , it's a front bumper off job which is a series of clips and screws to gain access to the condenser then it's a case of unbolting the pipe work replace all the o rings etc and regass . Ideally you want the system vacuum pumping out so it holds pressure then purg with nitrogen to check for leakes the regass .
When I find that relay thing online it's £25..is that normal?
Not for the one I used but for a Genuine Honda one maybe .
Oh when there's no gas in the ac , the compressor stays off . I see

Google the above for the valve core kit. 👍
This is nothing like my 2006.👎
