Water killed my AC and Radio, HELP!
After a lovley projectile well stomach problem by a friend all over my
front car console I decided to hose down the interior of my 200 honda accord, with the mess she left there was no alterternative, in my haste I forgot to close the ac vent an I think water got into the front system, The ac worked for about an hour the next day then the air kept blowing but all ac/heating air klights went dead and it blows regular (90+ degree in this heat) air, also the radio, right under the ac worked longer, for about 3 hours ans then I removed the face to go out to dinner put it back on, it is also dead. The clock at the top of the console works, I checked all interior fuses, all are good. I took the console off looked for water on wires, coroding and so on, all seemed good.... please help, what is wrong? |

Also, hosing the car down on the inside is not something you want to do, as you found out the hard way. There is no one spot you can pin point and say "look there". When a car gets flooded with water, all bets are off. All the fuses, including under the hood, are good? If a radio isn't working at all, it could be due to the radio itself being broken or power to that radio is missing. AC is a farly complex system in that there are a couple of components to it. It could be as simple as the AC dash switch, but - again - it is impossible to say from where we are sitting. If you are handy with a multimeter and have a schematic to the car, you'll have to start probing around to see what voltages are missing. If you are not comfortable doing anything more than checking fuses, you may want to have a pro look at it. Remco |
