    Solution To Flickering Fan Speed 2 or 3 A/C

    HELP. I did this "fix" last weekend and now my A/C blows cold, then hot and cycles back and forth. I notice the force of air blowing out of the vents is weaker, even on Speed 4. Any ideas what may be causing this?

    Solution To Flickering Fan Speed 2 or 3 A/C

    Please help. I cant figure out how to remove the A/C control panel. I know there are cables holding it in from being pulled from the dash (when the panels is off) but where is the cable to remove? Edit: Figured out where the cables were. What I cant figure out is how to remove the spade...

    Solution To Flickering Fan Speed 2 Or 3 A/C PART 2

    For those who think this is a circuit board issue, why does the problem come and go? I started having issues with speed 2 about 1-1.5 years ago. Sometimes it would work, other times it didn't. About 6 mths ago it stopped working completely. Now speed 3 is doing the same thing, works...

    Thanks but I meant a simpler fix. My #2 speed stopped working years ago, now #3 started flickering. Bad contacts?

    Anyone have clearcoat failure on their Protege 5 (yellow)?

    I like the black and yellow. Is it really cost effective to get your car repainted. A good paint job is around $2,5k to 3k. I have a handful of maintainance repairs to get done to my car and my front suspension replaced, with the estimate around $2,5k. Plus I need new tires and the paint job...

    Thanks for the info. Sounds like a big PITA with the cable routing, especially if this fix doesnt really fix the issue... :(

    How do you disconnect the wires from the control unit? These are the steps I got up to, then couldn't figure out how to remove the control unit. 1. Remove front bezel 2. Remove screws for control unit 3. Remove glove box to access rear of center console I cant reach around and feel behind...

    Recharge A/C freon, is it hard?

    I ended up recharging my system this weekend. I bought a gauge and can 16oz can of R134a. The gauge said I only had 2-3 psi of pressure in my system. I added (1) can and it rose to about 30 psi. Looks like it should be from 30-45 for full. I didnt add anymore, going to see how long it stays...

    Recharge A/C freon, is it hard?

    bump. Has anyone done this before? Since my car isnt blowing cool air, does this mean I have a leak in the a/c lines?
