Consumer Description

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. *TR 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.
