Ok here is what happens. Sometimes when I start the car the ABS light will stay on and my AC controls are inoperable. NOt lights on, no Blower motor going, nothing. If I turn off the car and start it again(sometimes it takes several times) it will go off and AC will work again. Sometimes it happens as I drive(rarely tho). I noticed if the car bumps or jerks while the light is on and no ac it will work agian. Once it is working it is fine stays cold and such.

Anyone got an idea? Maybe a relay? Where are they? Anyone with a service manual?

 

have the ign switch checked out, and clean all the relay contacts and fuses in the fuse box by the battery and the other on by the master cyclinder

 

zack dont you have a scan tool, have you tried to see if there is any faults. if not i will bring mine tonight. also i will talk to one of my friend that works at honda & i will ask him.

 

i gots a manual ?

Its 1088 pages long...Im going TO TRY and print it out here at work and then i will give to you

 

Thanks all. NO my Scan tool is MIA! Hopefully something will pop up.

 

Sounds like a bad relay or connection somewhere. There are some relays under the dash and some under the hood.

 

Sounds like you electric what-cha-ma calls it, is busted and gunna cost you a nice penny to get that fixed....

Hahaha..Wow. That is the weirdest thing I've ever heard.

I had the exact same problem a few weeks back. When the ABS light is on, the AC control unit will not operate at all. The ABS light was on and off for the next several days. I had brought it to the attention to the shop that I usually go to. But it was so random, that its hard to duplicate in order to read the code off the car.

Shortly after, the problem seem to went away for good. I can only take a long stab (theoretical guess) at what might caused the problem. The problem appeared after I washed and detailed my entire car. Along the process, I may (and I say it again), may have brush the fuse relay area that is hanging somewhat loose under the steering wheel. I still don't see how brush through with my cleaning towel accidentally can cause since a problem, but that is the closest (but a distant) explanation I can come up with.

Bottom line, check your connection of the fuses under the steering wheel.
