I think it's coincidental; I think the air conditioning fuse or circuit breaker has blown. Check the fusebox - this fuse should be labeled "AC" or "A/C".

SOURCE: 2003 Honda Accord 4 cyl ex Air conditioner Problem

The accord has to radiator fans, if it blows hot air and then the ac comes back on. My accord did exact same thing. The solution was replacing one of the fan. Mine happen to be right fan, when facing the front of the car. hope this might help.

SOURCE: 1996 Honda Passport overheating


It sounds like it may be a stopped up radiator or a possible blown head gasket. You need to take it to a repair shop and have the radiator flow checked and also check for the presence of hydrocarbons in the coolant which would indicate a possible blown head gasket or a cracked cylinder head.

SOURCE: air conditioner makes noises after it starts

I do not think that the battery change and the noise for the a/c is related, probably just a coincidence.

If the a/c makes a loud noise when it is turned up, I would try switching to vent to see if the noise is still there. If it is, then it is the ventilation fan likely located on the firewall or under the dash under some plastic paneling.

There is no reset button for the a/c.

Good luck on this repair.

SOURCE: Air conditioner stopped cooling. Dealer diagnosed

It could be that there was more than one leak and the dealer found only one. The AC system has two pressure switches to protect the compressor from damage---a low press. switch cuts off the compressor when there is not enough refrigerant in the system, the high switch cuts off when pressures get so high they could blow out the seals. Both are a result of a leak--refrigerant leaks out and air can leak in. Air will compress and when it does, it gets hot--so no cooling, and pressures go way up. So the compressor may have been stopped by those protective switches.

Of course, there could be a bad relay or other circuit malfunction.

Another possibility is that the compressor sat too long before being repaired (but we are talking about weeks going by here, not days). The air and moisture (humidity) that leaks into the system during this time creates acids that will attack the metal reed valves in the compressor. On restart, the damaged metal valves eat themselves in short order. If this is the case, the compressor ran until it seized and will need to be replaced. This particular problem is impossible to diagnose. So the dealer may have done his best.

Testimonial: "Thanks. I did wait a few weeks before bringing car in for AC repair, so you could be right about the compressor. Ewwww."

Turn the AC system off, this includes defrost settings as well. I think your AC compressor is locked up on the engine.

When stopped in drive the steering wheel vibrates a lot when the air conditioner is on .There are already new motor mounts replaced could it be the adjustment of the idle screw ?throttle plate cleaning...

The belt tensioner can cause many of these problems, sometimes the serpentine or fan belt is replaced, but the tensioner is not given much thought, a tensioner that is going out, can cause the belt to not have enough tension to keep the battery charged by slipping, when the clutch on the ac compressor cycles on and off, if the tensioner is to loose, or not tight enough can cause the compressor to vibrate, it can cause wear on other parts attached to the belt even cause pre-mature wear on other pulleys. good luck!

I have 1996 Kia Sephia. When the air conditioner is on, the power steering doesn't work about half of the time and the car makes a squealing noise when turning, starting, and sometimes when idling....

Loose belt-tighten or worn idler pulley bearings.Tighten belts first and if the squeel is still there remove belt and check all pulley bearings.Grab the pulley by hand and give it a wriggle-there shouldn't be any play axially

Does the 1996 Honda Passport have a timing belt or timing chain. If it is a chain, does it need to be replaced at 100K?

It has a timing belt that MUST be changed every 100,000kms..........if it had a chain, then it only needs to be replced when it becomes noisy...

I would suggest also replcing the water pump whilst the belt is off......save time/labour later on down the track....

Air conditioner

The squeeling is the belt because the air compresor is likely seizing. At idle it can't turn the compressor, in motionthe compressor probably turns and cools the air. Most air conditioners come on when the defroster is on.

Honda Passport started, and shut off moments later. Won't start

AS long as the belt is turning properly the belt is good & has nothing to do w NO START. Double check the alarm/cutoff and all the fuses. Start w the basics. Good luck
