I just added refrigerant to my 1995 Prelude SE (125,000 miles), and noticed
both while I was recharging and after that the compressor doesn't cycle off.
Is it normal for Honda compressors to run full-time (while the "A/C" button
is on)? I can't specifically remember if it cycled during the years I've
owned it. If it SHOULD be cycling, what would prevent it from doing so?
Using the manual "A/C" button on the console does cause the compressor to
turn off, as normal. One item to note, is that I used one of those
inexpensive "system recharge" packages from the auto parts store to add
refrigerant, which seemed to work well, but it only measures low-side
pressure. Thanks for your help.
