Honda Ridgeline was parked. Started truck, ac was on, set at 66 but no cold air was blowing. Moved the manual blower button to high, still no cold air blowing. Shut ac off and switched to heater no air was blowing. Took truck to Honda dealer in new hampshire for oil change/tire rotation and had them look at ac/heater problem. They said that blower motor may have a bad resistor, if they replace resistor and blower still not working they would have to replace blower motor. Dealer looked at recall history for this problem for Honda ridgline, said there was recall for ac/heater issues but not for my year (2008). I googled Honda Ridgeline 2008 ac problems and found other truck owners reporting the same problem.

The heater / ac stopped working on my 08 rts Honda Ridgeline. There were no events that lead up to the failure. The dealers service department stated that heater wire harness overheated and burned up for an unknown reason. They are having to order the replacement parts, but I am concerned whether this is a fire hazard.

I purchased a 2006 Honda Ridgeline in June 2006 with 17,000 miles with extended warranty. The following summer in 2008 my air conditioner didn't work, no cold air. So I took it to the dealership and they said it was a hose leak and not covered under warranty. So I paid two hundred something dollars to have it fixed. The following summer of 2009 my ac didn't work again, no cold air, so I took it to a local mechanic thinking the ac had to be recharged, the mechanic couldn't figure it out and said bring it to the dealership and I did. The dealership did a diagnostic on it which cost me $175. 00 just for a diagnostic, and said the problem is the clutch inside the condenser and that it will cost around $1,000. 00 to fix it. I also just received a recall notice from Honda on April 26, 2010 about the blower motor harness, which I have already taken care of today may 4, 2010 at a dealership and was hoping that this recall would make my ac work, but it still doesn't work. I strongly believe this is a defect on the truck and cannot afford to keep paying to get my ac fixed every summer. Thank you for your time on this matter. I would appreciate any suggestions.
