If the compressor locked up, you should still be able to drive the vehicle
as long as you don't switch on the AC or select defrost (which may turn on
the compressor). If the compressor failed, it likely shot lots of metal
throughout your AC system. And many parts of your system cannot be
flushed out so they must be replaced. And this can be very
expensive........... When I replaced the compressor, expansion valve, and
reciever dryer on my 95 Civic 4 years ago, I thought I could flush the
condenserand the rest of the system. My new compressor failed again after
a little over 4 years. I have since found out that Honda condensers cannot
be flushed. Buying all of the parts at Manchester Honda this time set me
back around $800. And the very best flush is around $40 a quart. Good
Luck
