I know this sounds weird and I’m new to doing my own repairs, replacements etc. All I did was changed the cabin filter and as soon as I drove the car next the ac hasn’t been cold since. I have taken it out to make sure I had it in correctly and it was so either this is just crazy timing that it was going out anyway or I did something to cause this. Like I said I’m new to all of this but I don’t think there is anything under the glove compartment that has any chance of causing something like this.

I have a 2004 Acura TL with 141000k and it has been babied

Any help I sure would appreciate

 

Can you check and make sure you didn't unplug anything?

 

I went back and double checked and the only thing I can think of is the first time when pulling the cover off I was little too aggressive. But when I checked again the next day everything was plugged in like the light and the trunk release

 

Valet switch or trunk release? They are on opposite sides. I would test your AC system regardless. What has the temperatures been like? What's your location?

 

So not a flow issue its actually seems warmer? If was flow I'd say maybe installed backwards but if temp then I'd say coincidental

 

do you leave the A/C in auto setting mode?

 

In the southeast, it’s 50 currently which is just right but will get hot soon enough. Sorry, valet switch not trunk. The heater works great and each fan speed works as well. So it’s not the blower and I have checked the relays and switches and those all work.

Just for coming up with any reason, if it’s the refrigerant how did I create a leak from being under the glove compartment?

 

Yes, the ac fan doesn’t come on and I have checked the fuses and relays. Very strange but again I’m new to this

 

Turn on the defrost and see if the A/C kicks in. If not, you've got a problem.

 

As in new fans or maybe temp sensor?

 

Just tried the defroster and the fans didn’t come on. This is one heck of a coincidence of the fans going out but I have had the heater on and it’s fine and doesn’t overheat

 

The reason he told you to turn the front defroster on so the A/C will work at full capacity therefore the A/C fan should be kicking on. If not replace your A/C relay, Honda relay tend to goes bad over time. I already replace all four of my TL as a prevenative, (well one of it goes to shit and the kicker part is that car has 81k miles)

 

Ok, I will do that and let you guys know if it made the fan come on. I will start buying those and keeping them
