SOURCE: 1991 Sierra GMC AC control problem

The follwing is a cut and paste from a service bulletin:

Bulletin No.: 461202

Date: May, 1994

SUBJECT:
A/C CONTROL HEAD FLASHES OR ERRATIC OPERATION OF A/C CONTROLS (POLISH
TERMINALS)

MODELS:
1988-94 CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCK C/K MODELS
1990-94 CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCK TOPKICK/KODIAK MODELS WITH C60 OR C69 AIR
CONDITIONING

CONDITION:

A/C Control Head flashes, performs erratically or malfunctions.

CAUSE:

Light surface corrosion on the Control Head terminals.

CORRECTION:

Remove the A/C Control Head and while holding the unit with the terminal
cavity down (toward the floor) so no particles will fall inside on the
circuit boards, polish the terminals on both sides of the cavity with a lead
pencil pink eraser. Do not use an ink eraser or other abrasive such as a
small wire brush or sandpaper, etc. Doing so will remove the terminal
coating and degrade the contact surface.

Performing this procedure, in many cases, will make replacing the Control
Head unnecessary. Using this procedure in conjunction with the A/C circuit
diagnosis found in the Electrical Diagnosis Manual and especially before
replacing a Control Head for any reason is recommended.

After polishing the Control Head terminals, but before reconnecting, check
for proper terminal contact as described in the applicable electrical
diagnosis manual. If contact is good, apply dielectric grease (P/N 12345579)
to the harness connector terminals. Please do not apply grease to the
Control Head.

SOURCE: 1989 honda prelude. engine surges. from normal to 2100 rpms

There is a warm up valve on the throttle body(should have 2 small coolant hoses). remove the valve and have someone start the car while you block the port to the valve on the intake. If that clears up the problem you can cut a piece of cardboard to mount in between the valve and intake.should straighten it out.

SOURCE: ac compressor clutch relay 1991 honda accord

Difficult to describe, but I will give it a try.
Inside the driver's side fender, close to the front of the car, there is a bracket that is held in place by one bolt, but which has a short horizontal bar as part of it which has two large clips encircling two cylinderical devices which have wires clipped into them at the bottoms. The one closest to the front (radiator) is the compressor clutch relay. The other one is the condenser fan relay.
Hope this helps you find it.

SOURCE: jump air compressor ac works replace relays same issue HONDA

the compressor may be low on freopn but, the fan problem is most likely the fan motor as it is the low temp fan and will run more often than both fans...to test see if you can switch the fan plugin to the other fan watch carefully that it does not get too hot as the second fan is a safety fan that works as high temp or when using the A\C

Both radiator fans don't come on until accelerator pedal is pushed

Check that you have both sufficient voltage and AC system is properly charged. Also that your idle is set correctly. The idle should be higher when you turn on the AC. Does the idle increase / decrease when you turn on / off the AC? Low voltage from the alternator could cause the AC not to work properly but .... I would suspect you would notice that you have very dim headlights at idle if the alternator was not working correctly. The amount of charge in the AC system will definitely cause this type of problem.

AC and Cooling Fans Not Working

Try installing a jumper across the N/O terminal at the relay socket. Temp sensor in the radiator or in the thermostat housing supplies the signal for the relay the other relay signal is supplied by A/C in on position. both fans will run continuous with A/C on. One fan runs intermittent relative to water temp. Be careful not to blow a head gasket. If you leave the jumpers in place, the fans will stop when the ignition is turned off, save the engine until you isolate the relay signal problem. then simply remove jumpers and reinstall the relays

2008 Honda Civic dx rebuilt AC compressor always on regardless of controls

OOPS ! Now, it sounds like the A/C relay is constantly on. In the power distribution box by the battery, try swapping another relay for the A/C relay (which turns the compressor on), and see if it now stops. If so, buy a new relay. Good luck.

1989 honda prelude cant get to fire engine cranks but wii not fire

Sounds like the common main relay problem that plauges this generation of Hondas. These Matsuba relays are usually the problem. I am in the midst of the same issue with my CRX with a 1.5 liter transplant. Relay is located under the dash in the drivers compartment area of the vehicle. Identified as a small black box with a connector pluged into it. Will say Matsuba Rz and some serise of 4 numbers dependent on your particular relay. There are a lot of diagrams to check the relay. After detemining the type of relay you have just search Bing or Google for Matsuba (what ever seriese relay) schematic. My suggestion for a site: http://techauto.tripod.com/index.htm. Good luck!

Where is the fuel pump located on a 1989 honda prelude?

Hi:
The fuel pump is mounted inside the tank. If your fuel pump isn't working, make sure you test/check your main relay first. They are prone to fail on your car, and will cause similar symptoms
