Just fixed this on my 95 EX. you will need to remove your carpet, which means you must take out the center console, seat belt mounts, seats and rear seat bottom to allow the carpet to be taken out (its most likely soaked and will need to dry anyway). Then unbolt the ECM (metal box on side of passenger footwell) from its mount, and place a plastic container under the insulated pad (that sits against the firewall, under the carpet- its probably soaked, too) to get it off the steel floor. Its a bit of a job, but you need to do this to verify the leak isn't still leaking. It's not too bad. Remove the plastic cover that runs along the bottom of the windshield. You will see where the hood hinge is bolted to the car has sealant smeared around its base. Give it a thorough cleaning and inspection to see if you have gaps or holes in the sealant. Run the hose down the windshield and watch inside for fresh water drips/seepage. New water? That's it.
Dry off the hinge mount, clean it again (REALLY CLEAN IT), get a quality sealant (opinions of what style vary- I used an automotive style- ask your auto parts store guy) and re-apply to the whole area, making sure to push it into the small cracks and voids that were allowing the water through. Smooth it out around the area. Allow it to set/dry. Dry up as much water inside the car as you can and do the hose test again. Hopefully, there's no more leak.
So far so good for me. Now to the other little issue cropping up on this little commuter. Good luck!
Sounds like the the heater core. are you losing water from the engine, if so this would be the problem, o if it only leaks when ac is runnibng you have a drain that's probably plugged (usually a rubber hose under hood monted to heater control box. unplug it, if it's the heater core, possibly removeable under hood, but most likely under dash on inside,

Go to your local library and ask the Librarian to get you on-line to the Automotive Repair Reference Center, and then to the EBSCO database...you will find all of your wiring diagrams there.

I had the same problem with my 1992 Civic.
The A/C specialists in my area were'nt able to figure it out either.
After an exhaustive search on the internet, I found that a few others had been battling this problem also. Mine went on for a couple of summers before I finally got serious enough to find it.
It seems that some of the solder joints in the Heater Control Assembly were a bit weak and although the A/C light may come on and go off when you press the button on your Heater Control Assembly, the switching never actually occurs. This is because there are another four solder joints for this switch alone. That's right, if my memory is correct, there are a total of six solder joints for that A/C switch, located inside the Heater Control Assembly.
When the weather is cool, the solder joints seem to be OK, but when things get hot, the metals expand, and you will lose the connection.
It's quite a lot of work to remove the Heater Control Assembly, and you need to be careful pulling apart the unit once out of the car, but if you're mechanically inclined, it can be done for just the price of a little solder.
If you don't trust yourself with pulling apart the assembly and resoldering the connections, you can also replace the assembly. I found it listed on-line at Majestic Honda for about $240. The unit listed for 1992 appears to be the same as the one in your 1995.
From what you say in the description of your problem, this fix may be beyond your abilities, so you might want to ask someone for help. However, that being said, I'm pretty confident from your description that the A/C switch in the Heater Control Assembly is the problem, and not the compressor.
Good-luck, Mark

Electric window motor seized. Those motors have internal copper brushes that usually lock after time. Some times a quik test is to get to the motor and tap it with a wrench while pressing the switch to get it unseized. ( Not a fix ! ... still needs replaced ).
