Honda CRV 2003 a/c problem

low on Freon

check your freon level

When you turn on the A/C even though the clutch doesn't engage , do the condensor fans come on? If so , check the compressor clutch relay(underhood fuse box) and test for VOLTAGE (not a test light) at the wire going to clutch(harness along fan shroud in front of compressor). IF fans do operate when switched on(A/C)then that means the system has at least the minimum amount of refrigerant in it for operation, although it may need charged for better cooling .
