Me and the Wife bought a new Element in 2008, still going in 2024, 250,000 miles, still going strong, best vehicle ive ever owned in 40 years of driving.
That was the most informative video I seen on diagnosing the AC on an element. Thank you!subscribed
You have the EXACT same Element as me, same color and everything. I watch all these vids. Never would it occur to me to depress those buttons and click the ignition over. Just mind boggling. Thank you so much
Hi I have a 2009 honda elements and I press the tow buttons and nothing happened do u know why
All I drive is Honda and Toyota so I subscribed seems to be what you mainly cover which is right up my alley
Appreciate that, I’ll try not to disappoint

Thanks Danny,Liked and subscribed👍🏻
appreciate you
Subscribed. You are amazing!
Appreciate you 👍🏼
Excellent video.
Appreciate your comment, thanks for watching
Thanks for this. Trying to figure out why there's a "knock-knock" sound coming from my engine bay on my 09 Element. Not easy, but this helps to understand a little about the AC system.
buy a cheep stethoscope on Amazon, this will help you pinpoint the noise
Just subscribed! Wife has an '05 Honda Element and has AC issues. Pep Boys wanted to charge her thousands to replace the compressor? And I'm gonna try those error codes to see if theres anything electronic. Thank you!
Thank you Danny!
you're welcome, thanks for the gratitude
Excellent. Thanks
Appreciate you buddy
My birthday june 27 and i’m new to you page ❤
Appreciate you subscribing 👍🏼
Thanks for the video!!
appreciate your gratitude
thanks again danny!!!
You bet! I appreciate your support
This video was great but How would you connect the gauges if you had them?
What happens if, after doing the troubleshooting, the lights don't flash like yours did ?
Thanks for the video
appreciate your gratitude
Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching!
MUY UTIL LA DESCRIPCION GRACIAS
You’re welcome
great information. my 95 Civic the heat / cold blend is acting up. On cold I can feel the air a bit warm which makes the AC not as cold. Don't know how to get into diagnostic mode on my Civic.
I’ll see if there is any information on this, if there is I’ll post it here
@@dannysdiygarage you are awesome! thank you for looking into it for me. :)
Thanks
Appreciate your support, thanks for watching
Thank you for your help. You have begun to help me. I’m getting error code #9. Could you elaborate further on that? It appears both of my fans are not spinning. I suspect that is a good part of the issue. Many thanks. JH
I have a question and YES I did subscribe…I have a used 2011 Element LX…and from my previous new 2010 Element, the MAX A/C portion of the knob doesn’t blow with increased intensity and I’m wondering if it’s a simple switch issue or more involved. My Honda shop can look at it for $189…yeah, right
Im sorry, I’m not understanding the question, if you send a video of what it’s doing I might be able to help, dannydiygarage@gmail.com
I’ve included a video with this. Hopefully it comes through. On my previous 2010 Element, when I turned the 3rd dial to the far right from AC to MAX AC, there was a dramatically increase in blower speed. I have a used 2010 Element and that function does not work…you’ll see and hear in the video, as I explained previously, there’s no increase in blower speed or sound. Is the switch bad? Is there a fuse that covers this feature?
Well, maybe it’s me but the video isn’t uploading. It’s not working as I described… when you turn the dial to max AC, there is no additional boost in flow sound or pressure it does nothing
Could you do a video on the tie rods and control arm? My element makes a loud PoP sound when I turn to the left real hard
I’ll add it to my list
Hi Danny - 2004 Element. The AC fan is not working. The relays checked good and all associated fuses are good so we replaced the fan. It still doesn’t work. We noticed a wire not connected laying near bottom of both fans (disconnected). There is a receptacle on the fan shroud but it doesn’t go anywhere and the shroud is plastic (I.e. no path to ground). Do you think it might be the fan control switch? Any ideas? Thanks
I recently uploaded a video which might help

So what does it mean if I do hear a little hiss when I remove one of the caps? No visible signs of leakage but I heard a little pssst.
That would indicate air conditioner schrader valve is leaking, if it’s still blowing cold, just tighten up the cap
Thank you very much for this very easy to follow video. I went to check the Schrader valves and one of them is missing. I just recently had my compressor replaced. My mechanic said that the strength of the new compressor found a weak spot in the line and caused a leak. So they put leak stuff in it. And now it is not blowing cold air again, two weeks later, so they said I need a new compressor. I did your troubleshooting steps and I had nine blanks. Only one fan is working and obviously the missing cap. They’re also was a hit from the other Schrader cap. Any suggestions? It’s a 2005 Honda element.
What’s the question, the fan? Or the caps? Is your air blowing cold?
Use a laser pointer when showing stuff under the hood
That’s a great idea, thank for that
I have a 2004 and inside is a bit different. My air went hot 2 days ago , after I sat in car with it off and checked with the buttons like he said to do … I had to get home so I started it up and the air went back to cold … but I think it’s on the blink because that’s weird …??? Has this happened to any one else ? Just wondering, I usually go to dealer for things but don’t have the bug bucks to have it fixed , smd they may say I need a new one , I only have 151K miles on mine , and it looks nice still , the paint job is really wonderful..
I don’t have a answer, good luck
Danny, what if it doesn’t come on when you do this?
I’m not sure what year civic you have, not all allow this,
I just counted 9 blinks- ? I took it to the mechanic before and he said the compressor needs to be replaced? Does this make sense? Thanks- Honda element 08
sorry for the late reply, No it doesn't 9 blinks is Air Mix Control Linkage or motor, but Im only going by what you said, I'm not there checking it out, keep me posted
@@dannysdiygarage is that an easy fix I can do on my own? Thanks
When I run the test by pushing the two buttons, it runs through the cycle but never shuts everything off. No blinking light, but everything just stays running. After 5 minutes-still running. Any tips?
I would only be guessing, remove the battery cable for 5 minutes and try it again
Hey Danny
I have a 2006 Honda element, I tried this test and I couldn't get the test to work, is it only for 2007 and newer?
I’m not sure which years
After replacing a new radiator and both fans and thermostat. This code came up
P2646 code on my 2007 Honda element. Any suggestions thank you
VTEC solenoid code, see my video on the removal, I would replace the gasket and clean it before replacing it.

Thank ❤️ you Danny thank you very much happy birthday 🎈🎂
@@dannysdiygarageDanny can you please send me a link to buy the bracket to the top of the 2007 Honda element when replacing the fans please
@@dannysdiygarageDanny can you please send me a link to buy the bracket to the top of the 2007 Honda element when replacing the fans please
What does it mean if the fans do not come on but the inside blower does?
I have a video that addresses fans not coming on on my channel
Mine is is #9 - is that something I can fix myself?
Mine is 9 also
please show where the connectors are under the hood., thanks
I'll be doing a follow up video soon, thanks for this comment
My honda element is blinking 9’ times. So its DTC9 how can i fix this i have no ac ?
code 9 is a problem with the air mix control linkage door or motor. hopefully this helps
I tried the "buttons trick" and it start working but it stops quickly and the light doesn't flash like yours. Is that normal?
Thank you 🙂
What year model civic? Are you having trouble with your ac system
@dannysdiygarage I have a 2003 Honda Element, and we have noticed it doesn't heat up the air.
@@Compaisra1 check the heater core hoses for equal temperature, I have a video on this, it’s on a Honda Civic, however the process is the same
❤🎉😊
thanks you
What happens if the engine coolant fan comes and the AC fan doesn't
Check the fan
Why is the Honda Accord famous for leaking evaporators? Why does the evaporator escape gas? What is the cause of its damage? It is made of metal and is protected by a cover
Guessing bad design
When I do this it doesn’t even get to the code part everything will shut off what could that mean ?
Are you having issues with the air conditioner, also I’m not clear when you said everything will shut off
@@dannysdiygarage yes the ac works but it blows hot and I’ve noticed that one of the radiator fans doesn’t work. And when I did the test shown in the video as soon as the fan part goes to kick on the green AC light inside the car goes off and the AC itself shuts off like it won’t blow anymore after that.
I don’t like guessing, but try disconnecting the fan motor at the fan and try it again, do all the ac control head function operate normally? Like defrost, air moves to floor, actuators on left side changes state from when you turn knob to hot and cold
@@dannysdiygarage I will definitely give it a try and yeah yo my knowledge they all work properly.
@@dannysdiygarage forgive me jumping in here but I have the same thing happening. Both fans come on and then the blower kicks in and it goes off after that. No blinking lights, etc. I will upload a video that I took of it if that helps any. Also, thank you for your videos, I had no idea you could even do such a test! It was very cool to learn about this at this point after having this car for a long time. Added info: both fans turn on, blower comes on and you can feel the air inside. On my car, I've been hearing what sounds like a loud rattling type sound from around the engine area. Car runs great otherwise. I've noticed that sometimes it goes away or the loudness of it goes down after I cut off the AC. I feel like I can hear the rattling at times when the AC isn't on and I'm idling, then it cuts out when put in park? Like something is loose, maybe? I'm leaning towards failing compressor due it lessening in sound when I cut off AC? Any insight is appreciated! Thank you.
For some reason, this trick doesn't work for all elements as easily as you've shown. I have 2004, but after several tries, no results.
Sorry I’m not sure if all models have this capability
Sucks. I tried that 15 times and nothing like that happened with the 2 button test.
That’s odd, what year and model vehicle Lx, ex, sc
Me too..06 Element
Your talking about relays but couldn't see any you were talking about in video
Both fans didn’t go on
Did you figure it out?
When does vid start ?
Thanks
I appreciate you watching my videos, thanks so much for your comment
