I had my Wife's Accord in the shop for an A/C problem. Over time it lost the refrigerant and I tried to charge it at home. Unfortunately, I could not get the compressor to come on to charge the car despite swapping relays (known problem) and jumping the low pressure A/C switch.
The shop looked at the car and had to power the compressor directly to charge the system. After further diagnosis it seems that the PCM is not completing the A/C circuit to ground to turn the clutch on. Verdict, I need a PCM. Have any of you Honda knowledgeable people have a work around for this to allow the A/C to work short of hard-wiring a switch on the dash?
