  1. Problems & Issues
    Hi there, hoping I might get a couple tips on fixing my AC. The elements AC stopped working after I suspect it was overfilled before a trip last year. The AC compressor began to cycle on and off quickly during the trip and the AC stopped working. I checked the pressure today when the car was...
  2. Problems & Issues
    My AC is completely broken and has been in the 2+ years I've had my E. Only hot air blows when I turn the AC on. Freon level is full. 1)When turning the AC and blower on the fans behind the radiator do not spin. There aren't any bad fuses. Any idea to why this is? 2)Any way to tell if it's my...
  3. Problems & Issues
    Hello, Question for y'all. 06 Honda element lx awd automatic. A couple of weeks ago one radiator fan motor burned out. I replaced the motor after diag and all is well, both operate. However, once up to temp they operate intermittently when driving slow or idling, and admittedly a bit warmer...
  4. Problems & Issues
    Hi all, hope you are having a cool summer. We currently are not, so I am using the A/C a lot (albeit on the lowest setting and recirculated cabin air). It is working pretty well and it blows cold air, but lately I have noticed a definite whine (from the engine? A/C pump? Belt?) that increases...
  5. Problems & Issues
    Last evening the AC in my 2008 Element stopped blowing cold. The fan control works but I noticed that the AC & the recirculate button lights are both on and the buttons are not responsive when pushed. They both seem to be stuck on even though I’m not getting cold air. Any idea what could be...
  6. Problems & Issues
    I have an ‘03 element with 130k on the clock. Very good condition and new to me. All good until recently when the weather turned cold and I noticed a stoplights, the engine seems to labor occasionally. I did some troubleshooting and discovered that the AC is cycling on and off with the fan...
  7. General Honda Element Discussion
    2005 Element. When turn on the AC, I hear a low rattle/noise within/behind the dashboard on the passenger side. When I turn off but leave the fan on, the noise is gone. So, I rule out the fan. It sounds like it is coming from the engine compartment but tough to hear with the hood up. AC is on...
  8. Maintenance and Service
    This issue has been going on for a few years now. When it's remotely hot outside (80F) in the case of today, the A/C blows marginally cooler than ambient temp air, and something on the right side of the Element up front makes two knocking sounds within around a second of each other, with...
  9. Problems & Issues
    Hoping for other a/c gurus to discuss this with me. I've been trying to optimize my A/C and have been struggling. I thought there was moisture in the line because the high side is at the right subcooling but the low side would not meter in enough refrigerant to bring the pressure up to a good...
  10. Problems & Issues
    The A/C in y 2005 Element started blowing warm (again), so I had the system recharged. Since this work was done it has been clicking when on, and now two weeks later is blowing (mostly) warm again and seems to draw power from the driving when accelerating or coasting. I also hear a whir...
  11. Problems & Issues
    I was sitting in motionless traffic for an hour today, and my A/C was useless. It dropped the ambient air temp by about 5 degrees, although the compressor was still putting a load on the engine. I just shut it off because of this. After getting on the highway, I decided to try the A/C again, and...
  12. Problems & Issues
    My A/C is working great, (got a rebuilt compressor installed last summer) but recently I've developed an occasional idle surge when the air is on, usually on a hot day after I've been driving a while. It fluctuates between 600 and 900 about every 3 seconds, whether I am stopped at a light or...
  13. Maintenance and Service
    When it gets to 100-105 degrees, I find that my 2005 Element's A/C only works when I turn it about 4 clicks -- and even then, while putting out cool air, it only just barely helps cool the interior. If I turn it up beyond that, the compressor clutch engages and disengages quite a bit, with hot...
  14. Maintenance and Service
    The other day my wife said "this doesn't blow as cold as it used to". The car has nearly 100K miles and is 12 years old, so perhaps there has been a loss of refrigerant, because otherwise the A/C seems to be working fine. So I got a can of refrigerant to top it up. It was going good, but...
  15. Problems & Issues
    Okay so I know this isn't really a Element only issue, but my AC went out a few weeks ago and I finally filled it up with a regular can from Autozone (with the hose attached for low side gauging only), and it didn't even use all of it from empty to full (its a pretty big can though) Problem is...
  16. Problems & Issues
    Last summer the wife came to me at the hottest time of the year and said the AC was blowing hot air in her '03 Element. I took the car in to have it charged and not more than a day after getting it back the compressor popped leaving fluid (pink I think it was) all over the driveway. About a...
  17. Problems & Issues
    Hello. I've been trolling for a while and I've searched and can't find anything on this so I finally joined to ask. So the other day I was in a rush and had a minor brain lapse and tried to jump off my e and hooked the cables up backwards.... They were connected for 5 or 10 seconds before I...
  18. Maintenance and Service
    hey everyone. i've been lurking around these forums for a little while, but this is my first post. i picked up a 2003 EX 4WD element around april of this year, and so far it's been treating me great. however, these past few days, its got me worried. when i was at a stop, the AC starting blowing...
  19. Problems & Issues
    how do I find a Bypass Pulley (A/C) 2003 Element or can I use a shortened S-Belt?
  20. Problems & Issues
    I seriously don't know what to do anymore. This is what we've been dealing with the past month. Honda Element EX 2003 2WD/automatic making horrible squeal noise constantly. Sounds like a belt or something like that. Saturday, June 19th – Take in to car repair place. Look it over, not sure what...
