Default a/c not workin

Tried my ac the other day and it only blows warm air, did a recharge but still nothin, was trying to find the a/c relay/fuse but couldn't find it under the hood or the fuse box. Anyone know what could be the problem?

Much thanks.

Was there good pressure in your system when you recharged it?

When you turn on your AC do you hear the compressor engage?

yeah honda compressors are notorious for failure... Check to be sure it's engaging.

The simplest way would be to hit the AC button and listen for a sort of clicking, your rpms should drop just a little right as you turn it on, and you might hear a low pitched hum. Or find a friend, open the hood, and with the car running have your friend turn on the AC and you should hear it engage.

But since you had good pressure, that rules out a leak. So the next thing I would do would replace your compressor. You'll have to get the system recharged again after this. There may be some test that a shop could do, to see if the compressor is working, instead of just blindly replacing it.

Huh?

Notorious? Not that I've heard or experienced...
Every Honda I own/owned never had a problem with AC.

Actually, I had my DX compressor custom bolted to the B-series AC bracket for like 5 years with my swap. My car has been thru hell, and if any AC compressor should've stopped working it was mine.
Run off the road, hydrolocked engine, turbo kit, etc.
I only ever had a problem with a leak on the high pressure line, never with the compressor.

Usually if the compressor is not engaging, it means the system is low on refrigerant...
