Troubleshooting Common Problems
Hello,
I have a 2001 Honda Civic Manual 5sp. I have been having some battery problems where if my car sits for a few days it won’t start...It needs to be jumped. I finally took it to the mechanic and they said it was a bad battery and replaced it. They also mentioned it may be the AC, but I was confused as to why. A few days after that I was pulling into my driveway and turned my car off and took the key out and the AC was STILL blowing...cold air at that. Not being too knowledgeable I thought "oh wow that's what has been draining my battery...I'll take it back to the mechanic". I haven’t taken it yet, but about two days after that I was driving with the air on full blast (it's HOT) and started to brake for the red light. As I was breaking, the AC stopped. Just completely stopped working. It won’t even turn on. Does anyone know what this could be? Fuse, broken compressor, etc?
Thanks for any advice...I really like to be a knowledgeable as possible when I go to the mechanic.
