Hi, I am having a problem with my 2007 Civic hatch a/c compressor not engaging when the a/c is turned on. I have done the following tests.
Jumping the wire on the alternator leading to the compressor - the compressor engages and cold air blows out the vents almost instantly as it should when the a/c is working. The a/c runs perfectly when I jump this wire from 12v on the battery for as long as it is jumped.
Both radiator fans come on when the a/c is switched on.
I can feel the click on the relay switch in the fuse box when the a/c is turned on.
I had the coolant levels checked and they are fine.
Any guidance on the likely cause of this problem would be much appreciated. Than you.
