My 03 TL can blow hot air, but no cold air.

I verified that the freon/psi is at the right levels.

I checked fuses...none were blown.

The AC Clutch does not engage.

How do I run a diagnostic test on the AC to get soem codes?
Also, if my clutch is broken, can i buy just the clutch, or do i have to buy a new clutch/compressor?

Any ideas ?

if u can find parts for the compressor and u know what your doing i guess you can change the AC clutch. usually they sell the compressor as one.

Kragen sells the ac clutch+compressor for $260...but i just need the clutch. Any good online auto sites?

can you not find just the clutch at acuraoemparts.com?

Do your radiator fans turn on when you try to run the ac?

Also, how did you verify that the pressure is correct?

I still need to check and see if the radiator fan turns on...I check the pressure by buying one of those Freon recharge kits at kragen and connected it to the low psi line. ...it said "good" so i didnt need freon.

by Radiator fan, you mean the huge fan in the front?


Also, I am not sure if it is just the clutch that is broken, but when looking at it, there is no "clicking" sound when i click the AC button, nor does it loook like it is spinning like it should.

yes, the big fans (plural) in front. My car turns on both, some say they only get one, but anyway, if the fans are NOT turning on, it is NOT your clutch. In this case you may have a bad pressure switch. Or, you might also try adding some freon since I am pretty sure you should be checking pressure with system engaged.

If fans ARE turning on, then you might look into the clutch, IMO.
