  • How To Fix Your Air Conditioning On A Honda Odyssey. A common issue with 2005 to 2010 Honda Odyssey A/C's is a faulty relay which causes your compressor clutch to not cycle. In turn, no cold air. This video shows you how to easily check and replace the R4 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay which may fix your A/C issue for under $10.00 if you experience similar symptoms.

    You sir, are our hero today! I was on a road trip with 3 young kids driving through NorCal driving in our 2007 Odyssey when the AC stopped blowing cold air. It was over 100° outside. I stopped in Lodi (Oh Lawd, like CCR!) 🎵🎸 hoping I might find something to help, and immediately found your video. It was so clear and concise to follow. We drove to an AutoZone, and I got the R4 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay. I swapped it out for the old one like you instructed, and it fixed our AC! Thank you so much for all you help! I’m so grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to feel like a bad ass mama for showing my kids a DIY ethic is important. 😎💕

    This might be the clearest DIY video I've seen on anything (certainly about this problem), and it saved me at least $1,000 (which is what I was quoted by a "recommended shop" to "replace the AC compressor" after I dropped the vehicle off for them to diagnose. It took me less than 10 mins to do as instructed in this guide, and cost me $9.49 for the replacement relay, and this was the first video that came up in my search! It seemed too good to be true... but it was too well explained and easy enough to test myself, which I did before getting a second estimate today... and am I sure glad I did because it went exactly as described in this video.

    My issue was the driver side worked great, blew cold air as expected. Passenger side only blew hot air, rear didn’t blow at all. I just popped off both fuses (relay 1 and 4), shook them to to if they sounded broken which they didn’t. I swapped them and put them back into the fuse box. Everything now works fine. Nothing seemed unseated so this could be a temporary fix with one of the fuses going bad perhaps. But for now just switching them fixed it immediately. Thanks for sharing. Will probably buy two new fuses and just replace them.

    • @YourHomeGarage
      @YourHomeGarage  Год назад +3

      I like that idea - replace them anyways as it’s an inexpensive touch at this point. If this happens in the future as described, listen for a clicking sound from the dashboard because a gear in the temperature blend door actuator might be the issue.

Charged $125 and said that it was fixed, but the problem persisted. AC worked fine on startup, but 15 minutes or so down the road, it quit. I got the car, immediately tried a new relay, problem solved. Subaru dealer relay, $30 charge for part, did the labor for free.

    Thanks for this helpful video! I was researching why my Odessey's AC wasn't working, assuming I needed to leak check and recharge. I came across this vid and realized the clutch wasn't cycling on, switched relays and it worked! I have a new relay ordered. I do have a question, I hooked up my gauge to see if I might need coolant and the low pressure showed over 100psi, and when I detached it it continued to hiss out air/coolant until I put the cap back on. Is this just because the compressor isn't kicking on? I didn't think to check it when I had the working relay in and it was cycling...

      The clicking noise "inside the dash" could be the result of a failed door actuator. The teeth on the plastic gear inside could have sheared and are now slipping. The actuator is located in the drivers footwell, above the gas pedal and slightly to the right, tucked into the dash.

    Dealing with some weird issues... seems like the wiring for the AC mag clutch is faulty somewhere. Thought relay was bad, replaced it, but then the clutch wouldn't start unless I pressed real hard on the top of the relay -- like either the relay itself or the connection crimps are loose. Tried tightening those, then reinserted the relay - same thing. Had to bypass it temporarily with a screw thru the top of the relay. Confirmed Freon pressure is good while doing that, but I need to figure out the *correct* fix for the AC mag clutch relay. Current "fix" is surely dangerous... I assume?
    Meanwhile, both AC fans decided not to work anymore. Blows cold on both sides while driving, but warm at idle.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer on either issue.

    • @YourHomeGarage
      @YourHomeGarage  Год назад

      This can be frustrating, especially as many areas are experiencing record breaking temperatures.
      Pushing down the relay to engage the AC Mag Clutch is where I would start to investigate. Bypassing the relay long term isn't a good strategy as it's meant to help protect the electrical system, but I just did something similar on my home AC to narrow down a bad capacitor - so we do find creative ways to troubleshoot!
      When you look at the fuse box - can you:
      Inspect the inside fuse panel with a flashlight - examine the fuses and more so the wiring in and around the fuse panel. Dark, discoloured and burned wires are obvious issues that require attention. Wires with bubbles in the insulation are signs of overheating.
      How old is the vehicle?

    Great vid. I have a 2009 honda odyssey and the battery was dead when picking up from lot we purchased the other day. Once it was charged, the AC no longer functions /turn on (literally no lights) and one of our back power windows makes sound but will not roll down or up.🥺
    The day before all worked including all windows when initially looking and test driving the van which needed the battery jumped again that day too. We had battery checked out afterwards which is confirmed it is a healthy battery.
    Any suggestions on where to start to investigate; before taking to dealership or shop to diagnose?
    Thank you for your time in advance.

    • @YourHomeGarage
      @YourHomeGarage  Год назад +2

      If you bought it from a dealership lot, then I would take it back. Though I think you have an electrical parasitic drain issue - basically something is running or drawing current when it shouldn’t. I would start with your AC relay. When the fuse goes bad, it constantly tries to engage the air conditioning compressor even when the vehicle is turned off. As a result, it keeps trying to engage the compressor until the battery is totally drained. The AC relay, which is only a few dollars may just fix your issue. Plus, when you pull the relay and shake it - if it rattles it’s bad, if there is no rattling then your back to having a parasitic draw test. But I think this should fix your problem. Swap it out with a new one. If it does not work then please take your van to a real mechanic to do an electrical system analysis.

      Unfortunately, there are many things that can affect the operation of the A/C system. This sounds a lot like an A/C compressor issue. However, it could be a relay or switch problem as well that’s causing the inconsistent operation of your A/C system.
      For the A/C compressor - start with this check list:
      - Strange Sound; if you hear strange noises when you turn on the A/C, then it's probably the compressor.
      - If it blows warm air when the A/C is on, then it’s likely low refrigerant or compressor failure.
      - Look for any apparent fluid leaks
      - A stuck clutch

      - bad switches ie low/high pressure
      - check the wiring harness

    • @YourHomeGarage
      @YourHomeGarage  Год назад +1

      This is a statement that I ran across from Honda's Service News dated July 2012 - sounds as if it pertains to your situation.
      "If the left dashboard side vent is warmer than the right side vent with the A/C on, chances are the
      evaporator core isn’t being flooded with enough liquid refrigerant, causing it to fully vaporize halfway
      through the core. As a result, the side of the core with some refrigerant (the right duct) stays cold, while the
      side that’s fully vaporized (the driver’s duct) is warmer by about 20 degrees (or more in some cases).
      The most likely cause for this problem is a low refrigerant charge, possibly from a leak. Another culprit
      might be a restricted line or component that’s cutting the flow of liquid refrigerant.
      To find and fix this problem, just follow the A/C PERFORMANCE leg of the online job aid A/C Diagnostic
      Process. If the vent temperatures even out, you’re done. If they don’t, continue with normal
      troubleshooting and check the system for restrictions.
      For more info, be sure to check out self-study module ACC23, A/C System Checks & Monitoring in the
      dealer’s Online University"

So, by placing the “R4 A/C Compressor Clutch Relay” in my description, everyone can now use a dealership or aftermarket retailer and ask for the proper replacement part. Hopefully that assists with your suggestion.

    Hello I have an issue my Honda is blowing hot air and the blower is running and has the freon placed so I don’t know what’s the issue

    • @YourHomeGarage

      If the A/C blows hot air after recharging, then you maybe dealing with a leak. An effective way to find leaks is to vacuum the system.

    When the fuse is bad, does that cause the fan not to blow as much/hard?

    • @YourHomeGarage
      @YourHomeGarage  2 года назад +1

      Your vehicles HVAC system could be experiencing one of the following:
      - Air intake is clogged
      - A blown fuse in the ventilation system
      - Electrical issues such as a bad relay
      - Blower motor is damaged
      - Blower resistor is malfunctioning
      - A broken hose in the ventilation system

      If you've got cold air in the rear that seems to rule out a problem with the actual AC cooling system (compressor, freon, evaporators). Most likely to be a problem with the air flow control (flaps, diverters).

    If it revs a little when turning ac on and off would it mean it’s not the relay?

    • @YourHomeGarage
      @YourHomeGarage  Год назад

      It's normal for engine revs to fluctuate a bit with the AC on. When the compressor clutch engages and drives the AC compressor, a bit of extra engine power is used by the compressor, and engine RPM will fall a bit. When the clutch disengages, that extra power isn't required, and engine RPM will increase.
      Also check for a loose alternator belt - if the AC load is added on the engine, the rpm’s can fluctuate.

  • @SkittleKicksPlays
    @SkittleKicksPlays Месяц назад +1

    Didn't work in my 2006 Odyssey. Clutch activates, but RPMs never surge when active even with a new relay. Still blows hot air and if it is a clogged evap well that's probably $1000 for book time hours if not more In my case with over 213000 miles, the van will be scrapped.
    Funny how this was never a recall considering baking In a hot vehicle IS a safety hazard.

      If you are experiencing inconsistent cooling, not hearing a click from the compressor or no cold air - then this is a quick test and check. Especially, if you pull out the fuse and it rattles like something is loose inside. Your primary fuse box will be slightly didn’t than the later model shown in the video so just Google the diagram for your year and locate the clutch relay fuse.

      Every time I’m in the fuse box, I disconnect the negative terminal. It’s just a safer practice. There will be individuals that say you don’t have too, but I think the two minutes it takes to disconnect it outweighs any accidents.

    We have a 2003 Odyssey, and their isn't a fuse listed for AC. There is one listed for the rear AC, but not one for the front, or overall system. Any ideas?

    • @YourHomeGarage
      @YourHomeGarage  2 года назад +1

      Here are some starting points since I’m not sure what the exact symptoms are:
      Check if the rear AC is working. This would indicate the compressor is fine - then no need to investigate that further.
      Remaining likely failures are the interior air temperature checker, which is unlikely to be the cause, or the HVAC control unit itself, which seems to be a common failure.
      Also check the heating system(assuming the weather allows it). If you ask for 85 degrees, does it get there? How's the fan? If you ask for 85 degrees and force the fan to full speed, does it eventually get to 85 degrees? These would be indications of the interior temperature sensor being bad.
      Note that the interior temperature sensor being bad would definitely NOT affect the fan speed control, which is yet another finger pointing at the climate control unit itself.

      @@YourHomeGarage Hi, we were able to check all relays and fuses, and all were fine. So, we measured the pressure in the" Low" line, and found it was around 7. So just to check the idea that low pressure might keep the compressor from engaging, we added a bit of refrigerant and the clutch suddenly engaged, and the system started working. We added a full can of refrigierant, just for proof of concept, and sure enough the system in terms of cold air worked ok.
      So, this van has 200k miles on it, but until a few months ago, AC was fine. So, I expect that there is a leak that needs detecting, and the entire system flushed and filled professionally. But, at least today, during our PA heatwave, it's great that the AC works.

      At least now you have the benefit of more knowledge and resources to ask a technician different questions if this situation were to occur again. Only you can answer if the $900 was worth the investment to solve the AC problem and provide comfort on your drive. I don’t want to begrudge a mechanic shop, but sometimes replacing components is more economical than spending hours diagnosing the issue for a little part that is failing. Either way, at least you’re keeping cool now in the heat and thank you for the comment.

    • @YourHomeGarage
      @YourHomeGarage  2 года назад

      @@MsTupee Okay - I could ask more questions, but here are a few thought starters. If the refrigerant is low, it will only flood part of your evaporator core which starts off on the passenger side - this means the drivers side will be warm. If there is a restriction in the system, such as one of the lines, then the warm air could easily be the outcome. On your Honda, there could be an issue with the air mix door - this will send out a trouble code for easier diagnostic.

    • @WKaznartist
      @WKaznartist 2 года назад

      It could be A/C condenser, which Honda extended the warranty to 10 years since initial purchase of the vehicle. But independent mechanics also said the A/C compressor can be effected too because of the originally defective Honda A/C condenser. This issue may be affecting your 2012 Odyssey too.
