HELP!!! AC not blowing
Hey guys,
So my AC wasn't working and I found out that a relay was missing. After I installed one the AC started blowing air from all the vents again. However, the wind speed and temperature could not be altered through the climate control settings and I couldn't even turn it off. So I did some research and most likely its the motor blower resistor since the AC system seems to be working fine. I bought 3 resistors from online of different prices and lastly I bought one from the Acura dealership which cost the most and all of them don't work. I could hear a sound coming from the hood and it feels like the AC is trying to initiate and after a few seconds it gives up and nothing happens. So now no air is blowing out at all no matter what settings I have on. I tried everything and I also tried to diagnose. So the diagnosis shows a horiztonal line on the left top, left bottom, and right bottom of the 88 that shines on and off. I do not know what those codes mean and I couldn't find anything on it. If anyone could shine any light on this issue or has had the same issue please offer me some input.
Thank you everyone! Really want AC back in my life...

So to update the situation. The codes keep changing except for the one about a problem in the blower motor circuit. I took the car to a mechanic and he said it was weird because either something is wrong with all 5 blower motor resistors or something is wrong with the control module of the climate control. We tried 4 different resistors and none of them work except the original one which only blows wind at one speed. Also, since the original one allows wind to blow through and the motor works fine, the only possible explanation would be a defective resistor. I bought 3 from eBay and even one from the Acura dealership, which should be the one I can trust. So if you guys have encountered the same situation could you offer any input. Thanks a ton

How does a relay go missing?
Check fuse #30 in the underdash fuse box. Be sure you use the diagram on the lid and make sure you are looking in the correct row of fuses...
